"We confirm that our fingers are on the trigger for direct military intervention if any new alliances join Washington and Israel against Iran and its allies, or if the Red Sea is used for hostile operations against Iran, the group's military spokesperson Yahya Saree said in a televised speech on Friday."
"The warning raises the prospect of a broader regional war, particularly given the Houthis' ability to strike targets far beyond Yemen and disrupt shipping lanes around the Arabian Peninsula."
"Saree also said the group would not allow the Red Sea to be used to carry out hostile operations against Iran or any Muslim country."
The Iran-aligned Houthis in Yemen are prepared for military intervention if the Red Sea is used for attacks against Iran or if new alliances form with the US and Israel. Their military spokesperson, Yahya Saree, confirmed readiness to act in response to escalations against Iran. The Houthis have previously targeted vessels in the Red Sea and conducted drone attacks in solidarity with Palestinians. Despite a truce with the US, they emphasize their commitment to protecting Iran and Muslim nations from hostile operations.
