WATCH: Yemeni-Houthi leader warns: We want a direct confrontation with the U.S. and Israel
"If America strikes us, we will target American ships, interests, maritime traffic"
MEMRI - Middle East Research Institute 23.12.2023
Yemeni-Houthi leader Abdul-Malik Badreddine Al-Houthi responded to an American-led naval coalition to guard the Red Sea in a December 20, 2023 statement on Al-Masirah TV (Houthis-Yemen).
He warned that if the U.S. attacks Yemen, the Houthis will target American ships, interests, and maritime traffic.
Al-Houthi said that the thing that the Houthis “want most” is for the war with the U.S. and Israel to be a direct confrontation, and not with “American collaborators.”
He added that if the Americans send their soldiers to Yemen, they will face a lot worse than they did in Afghanistan or Vietnam.
