Tawfiq al-Hamiri, an adviser to Yemen’s Information Ministry, made the remarks on Sunday after the US bombed Yemen for two consecutive days amid frustration with anti-Israel naval operations by the Yemeni armed forces in the Red Sea.
“The acts of aggression by the US and the UK will not go unanswered, and we will make them serve as a lesson for the entire world,” he told Russia’ Sputnik news agency.
“We are preparing for a response that will end the US hegemony forever.”
Hamiri also noted that the current confrontation with the United States is aimed at supporting the Palestinian people, who are enduring a genocidal Israeli war in the Gaza Strip.
Hamiri hoped that the US, the UK, and Israel will stay away from a battle with Yemenis as it would neither benefit them nor the Arab and Muslim Ummah.
“Today it has become clear to all Arab and Muslim nations that the Americans, the British, and Israel are the main enemies of the Arab and Islamic Ummah,” he added.
Israel waged the war on the strip on October 7 after the Gaza-based Palestinian Resistance groups of Hamas and Islamic Jihad carried out the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm into the occupied territories in response to the occupying regime’s intensified crimes against the Palestinian people.
The US has offered untrammeled support for Israel during the onslaught that has so far killed nearly 24,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured over 60,000 others.
In solidarity with the Palestinians in besieged Gaza, the Yemeni armed forces have targeted ships in the Red Sea with owners linked to Israel or those going to and from ports in the occupied territories.
In response, the US has formed a military coalition against Yemeni forces in the Red Sea and endangered maritime navigation in the strategic waterway.
