Yemen vows to break Saudi siege regardless of cost, warns Saudi Arabia against any 'folly'
Yemen’s Foreign Ministry has issued a warning to Saudi Arabia, declaring that the Yemeni people have made a firm decision to end the aggression and break the crippling siege, and will not retreat “regardless of the cost.”
The statement, released on Sunday, comes as tensions escalate following a failed Saudi attempt to prevent an Iranian civilian aircraft from landing at Sana’a International Airport, a flight that successfully broke an 11-year siege on the airport.
The landing came after Yemen's armed forces forced Saudi warplanes to leave Yemeni airspace, foiling their attempt to prevent the Iranian flight from landing.
The Ministry emphasized that reopening Sana’a International Airport is a “sovereign right” of Yemen and that Sana’a will proceed with this “without anyone’s permission.”
It added that the process of breaking the siege is still in its early stages.
In a direct message to the Saudi leadership, the Foreign Ministry warned of catastrophic consequences for the kingdom if it commits any “folly.”
The Ministry advised the Saudi regime to focus on its internal affairs, such as its oil fields, stock market, and Vision 2030 projects, rather than continuing its aggression against Yemen.
It stated, “let him return to his senses and realize the magnitude of the disaster that will befall him if he commits any folly.”
The Ministry also dismissed Saudi claims regarding a roadmap for peace as “completely untrue,” accusing Riyadh of being “behind the continued siege” and obstructing the payment of salaries.
The Foreign Ministry accused Saudi Arabia of being a “Zionist tool” moving under American sponsorship, pointing to its role during Israel's war on Gaza.
It called on all countries in the region to understand that Yemen only demands its freedom and independence.
The Ministry also warned the Saudi regime that any further aggression would have a disastrous impact on the already unstable region and the global economy.
It advised Saudi Arabia to learn from its failures over more than a decade of war and blockade, stating that its threats of aggression are "rejected."
Saudi Arabia has waged a war on Yemen since 2015, imposing a air, land, and sea blockade on the country.
The country has conducted over a quarter of a million airstrikes across Yemen, causing widespread devastation and killing tens of thousands of civilians.
An estimated 10,000 Yemenis have been killed in the war.
