Revolution leader: We will work to establish equation of ‘Siege with Siege’, will confront Saudi Enemy’s comprehensive escalation with comprehensive escalation
In his speech today regarding the latest developments and updates, the Leader said: “We will work to establish the equation of siege with siege, especially since indicators reveal that the Saudis are heading toward comprehensive escalation, and we will seek God’s help against him and confront his comprehensive escalation with comprehensive escalation.”
He spoke about the suffering of the Yemeni people as a result of being targeted by the Saudi regime, adding: “Our Yemeni people are among the most suffering and targeted peoples by the Saudi regime within the framework of the American scheme, and in service of the Israeli enemy.”
He pointed out that the Americans, in all their conspiracies against the region, act in consideration of what serves, protects, empowers, and strengthens the Israeli enemy, affirming that the people suffered during the years of Saudi aggression and then during the de-escalation phase, while there should have been relief in the humanitarian file.
He continued: “We have been keen from the beginning to care for the livelihood and economic well-being of our people by lifting the siege and benefiting from national wealth, and no one has the right to confiscate our people’s humanitarian rights recognized in all charters and international law.”
Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi explained that the Saudi enemy continued its aggressive policy toward the Yemeni people by tightening the siege, and when Yemen moved to support the Palestinian people in “Al-Aqsa Flood,” the Saudis immediately tightened siege measures against Yemen.
He noted that the Saudi regime moved in the opposite direction to our people by supporting the Israeli enemy and providing services to it, affirming that the US-Saudi aggression destroyed the economic infrastructure, which was already modest, and largely destroyed it.
He said: “The intensification of the siege from the very first day of the aggression until today, over 12 years, has accumulated our dear people’s suffering to a very painful level,” noting that the Saudi enemy wants to impose on our people a situation similar to that of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.
He added: “When goods that are humanitarian needs, civilian needs, and public necessities arrive, they do not reach the people except after long procedures and great complications, and goods arrive only at the highest and most exorbitant prices in an extremely difficult economic situation.”
He continued: “There is a continuous deprivation of the people from national wealth, which is the people’s wealth, not a single atom of which belongs to the Saudis,” explaining that 90 million barrels of oil annually, along with significant and promising gas wealth for our dear people, are being withheld.
The Leader of the Revolution noted that electricity service from the gas plant in Marib has been denied to the dear Yemeni people, and revenues that could fund salaries and basic services for the Yemeni people have been withheld by the Saudis under American supervision.
He said: “The regrettable thing is that with this suffering, the Saudis take pleasure as the suffering of our people increases. The description of our people’s suffering before the tragedy of the Palestinian people in Gaza was that it was the biggest humanitarian crisis and catastrophe in the world.”
He added: “The suffering of the sick is very great, and our dear people endure it,” affirming that the Saudi siege is not just a siege, but an unjust practice that results in immense suffering in all areas of life, within the Saudi enemy’s attempt to confiscate the freedom and dignity of the Yemeni people.
He reiterated that the Saudi enemy wants to bring the Yemeni people to a state of collapse, wants to make obtaining money conditional on betrayal and selling dignity, and also wants to turn the Yemeni person into an enemy of his own people, moving as a conscript with the Saudis, a subservient servant, enslaved, and a source of freedom and dignity confiscated.
He mentioned that the Saudi enemy wants the media figure to be a mouthpiece justifying every Saudi crime and every Saudi-American aggressive objective against our dear people, adding: “The Saudi enemy wants the citizen, if they are political, to be nothing but a cover and a shoe for the Saudis to justify their crimes.”
He stated that the Saudi enemy exerts every effort to confiscate the freedom, decision-making, and independence of our dear people, affirming that the Saudi regime targets Yemen in its freedom, independence, and dignity, and practices the worst forms of injustice against the Yemeni people to achieve that.
The Leader noted that the Saudi regime wants to turn the reality of the Yemeni people into enslavement, subjugation, humiliation, and confiscation of their independence and dignity, and wants to be an agent for the Americans and British in Yemen to subjugate the Yemeni people to them.
He said: “The Saudi regime does not respect the principle of good neighborliness and has no justification for what it does, because our people are not aggressive toward their Arab and Islamic surroundings. History proves that the Saudi side, since the establishment of its state with its Najdi Wahhabi movement, began aggression against our dear people and carried out many rounds of aggression.”
He affirmed that the Saudi regime killed thousands of Yemeni pilgrims while they were on their way to Hajj, and with the crime of killing pilgrims and aggression against the people of Tihama and repeated assaults on the Yemeni people, the British-Saudi objectives at that time included occupying all of Yemen.
He added: “The British and Saudis previously worked to occupy Yemen but failed due to our dear people’s steadfastness in the face of their schemes and conspiracies. The Saudi regime also worked in past stages to destabilize the internal situation in our country and sought to erase its faith-based identity with the Takfiri plague and sought to ‘Daeshify’ the sons of Yemen.”
He continued: “There were Saudi measures to prevent oil extraction in Al-Jawf Governorate because the Saudi enemy is still covetous of that oil, and the Saudi regime worked to prevent oil extraction in Al-Mahra Governorate, and oil extraction in all our country remained under the ceiling desired by the Saudis.”
The Leader of the Revolution pointed out that the opportunity was available for Yemen to be among the largest oil-producing countries given its wealth, and the Saudi regime set a specific ceiling on gas wealth that never allows the Yemeni people to reach a level of prosperity and a dignified life.
He said: “The Saudi regime wants the situation of our dear people to remain afflicted at all levels—economically, politically, and otherwise”—affirming that the Saudi regime is a partner with the Americans, Israelis, and British within the Zionist orientations in the region.
He added: “The enemy is worried about peoples who have history, identity, and authenticity because they consider them an obstacle to their schemes and conspiracies targeting the nation,” pointing out that the Saudi regime’s practices against Yemen, betraying the rights of neighbors and even the rights of Islam, have resulted in immense suffering that has reached a level that cannot and is not legally permissible to remain silent about.
He continued: “We as a Yemeni people are targeted by injustice in every reality of our lives by the Americans, Saudis, Israelis, and British, and our people’s suffering is immense, reaching every family in cities and rural areas.”
He affirmed that Yemen’s economic resources are available but under the control of enemies, and therefore misery and deprivation continue, adding: “We must work to liberate our country, our capabilities, and our wealth from the control of enemies because they are working to deprive our people of their wealth.”
The Leader pointed out that the state of deprivation is injustice, wrongdoing, evil, and criminality that we must confront from the standpoint of faith-based, ethical, and value-based belonging.
He said: “It is very unjust for the Saudis, under American supervision, along with the British and Israelis, to seek to confiscate our freedom and enslave us other than God. Our Yemeni people can never accept the confiscation of their freedom.”
He praised the Yemeni people’s turnout on the Friday of “Warning and Mobilization” in an unprecedented manner in their history in every sense of the phrase, adding: “Our people are aware that targeting them is targeting their dignity and pride, aiming for full control, enslavement, subjugation, and humiliation.”
He explained that the enemies’ goal is to consolidate and entrench the equation of injustice and the state of injustice against our dear people in everything—from the continuation of the siege and seeking to bring the people to a state of total collapse—affirming that the Saudi enemy seeks to bring the situation of the dear Yemeni people to a point where they are ready for full control and complete occupation.
He added: “We are a dear people with our faith-based identity, our trust in God, and our faith-based belonging. Our people have never in their history accepted to remain an occupied people whose freedom and dignity are confiscated. Our country is one that has been called the graveyard of invaders, and our people can never accept the confiscation of their freedom and dignity.”
Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi stated that the great and honorable turnout on the Friday of “Warning and Mobilization” was one of the manifestations of the noble prophetic hadith: “Faith is Yemeni,” explaining that the great and honorable turnout of our people expresses the firm will of the dear people in clinging to their freedom and dignity, and also expresses the state of faith-based pride, steadfastness in the truthful stance, and the just cause.
He said: “Our dear people have a clear cause, and we are not agents for anyone. We are an authentic people with a cause. At the level of the nation’s major issues, for which we move with the free people of the nation in the axis of jihad and resistance, we are partners and allies. We move within the framework of issues that concern all of us, concern the entire nation, and indeed concern every free person in this world in confronting American-Israeli tyranny.”
He explained that the goal of the Zionist scheme is not just to change Iran or change Lebanon, or change a country here or there, but to change the “Middle East” under the banner of “establishing Greater Israel.”
He pointed out that Zionism targets countries—even those whose regimes exert every effort to support, fight for, and defend them—affirming that the regimes that have made themselves a bulwark for the Zionist Jews to shelter behind against the free people of this nation are themselves targeted by Zionism.
He added: “We move as people of authenticity, based on principles that unite us with all the free people of our nation in responsibilities that concern us all. We move in value-based responsibilities that unite us with our brothers, our Muslim brothers, whom we are connected to by the bonds of Islam.”
The Leader of the Revolution asked: “What connects some Arab regimes to Zionism? Can we say respectable ties? Honorable foundations?! Can regimes that today stand openly and blatantly with Zionism, with America and Israel, have respectable common denominators tying them together?!”
He said: “Whoever associates with the brutal group of Jeffrey Epstein, who eats children’s entrails in satanic rituals, commits the ugliest rape crimes even against minors, the most horrific crimes of drinking blood, and other abhorrent, repugnant, and evil atrocities that human nature abhors everywhere—can anyone be tied to them by respectable ties or common denominators?”
He pointed out that the Zionist scheme, in its titles, objectives, and in its intellectual and cultural background, does not recognize the sons of the nation as human beings, classifying them as worse than dogs and pigs, affirming that Zionism considers the nation permissible to violate, and has committed the most horrific, ugliest, and most repugnant crimes against the Palestinian people.
He added: “In the Gaza Strip, the Israeli enemy committed the ugliest crimes—starving children, women, adults, and children to death by hunger,” asking: “Can the ties that bind the Saudi regime to the Americans, the Israelis, and Zionism be considered respectable ties?”
He continued: “What binds us and our brothers in the axis of jihad, Al-Quds, and resistance are Islamic values and Islamic principles, and we cooperate in confronting tyranny and criminality that target the entire nation. We are people of orientations and stances that stem from our Islamic and human authenticity, from great and clear values, and we are honored by the cooperation between us and every free person in our nation at the level of the axis of jihad, Al-Quds, and resistance.”
He went on to say: “We urge the entire nation to have this orientation toward cooperation in confronting the Zionist scheme, and it is the duty of the entire nation to move through unity and hold fast to God’s rope together against the enemies.”
He noted that what is happening is the distortion and casting of doubt on stances of Islamic unity, while loyalty, betrayal, and allegiance to America and Israel are being promoted, affirming that the dear Yemeni people have a cause and immense oppression.
The Leader pointed out that the Yemeni people have made their stance clear through the great and unparalleled scenes on the Friday of “Warning and Mobilization.”
He said: “If those in charge of the Saudi regime have eyes, let them see the great turnout of our people and realize that the decision is the decision of this people, stemming from their faith-based belonging, freedom, and authenticity,” affirming that our people have decided they will not accept siege, enslavement, and humiliation, nor will they accept the confiscation of their legitimate rights.
He pointed out that the Yemeni people’s choice against injustice and American-Saudi tyranny is a stance of truth and a just cause, adding: “At the beginning of the aggression on our country in 2015, the Saudis had no justification, and that aggression did not come in the context of an existing conflict or dispute.”
He stated that the Saudi aggression committed the ugliest crimes over eight years, began the siege on Yemen, killed thousands of women and children over the past years, and nothing was spared from genocide, including the use of internationally prohibited weapons against the Yemeni people, targeting our country’s infrastructure and destroying many facilities.
He added: “The de-escalation phase came because our dear people showed great steadfastness despite the immense brutality, criminality, and tyranny. The aggression on our country used American tactics to burn Yemen and completely destroy it, aiming to break the people’s will, steadfastness, and morale.”
He continued: “God Almighty enabled our dear people to achieve great steadfastness, and its heroes, brave ones, honorable ones, and dignified ones moved to all fronts and faced everything with steadfastness and valor,” affirming that Yemen’s heroes offered lessons to generations and to all human societies in the level of devotion to great values.
Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi explained that Yemen’s heroes burned Abrams tanks and American and Western vehicles with lighters, considering Yemen’s steadfastness great, and the documented scenes present the finest image of the authentic values of this dear people—in their faith-based pride, loyalty, and chivalry.
He affirmed that the de-escalation phase was the result of clear Saudi-American failure, and after that, their failure was even clearer. Yet the enemies of Yemen insisted on continuing the siege despite the fact that the de-escalation phase should have involved real relief in the humanitarian file and legitimate rights.
He mentioned that the de-escalation phase requires the path to lead to a complete end to the Saudi occupation, requires giving this people their rights, and also requires reconstruction, compensation, and redress for damages, affirming that the Yemeni people, in facing the invasion and occupation, developed their military capabilities, carried out major operations that expelled the enemies from known areas and important locations.
He said: “Our people continued their great role toward the nation’s issues despite the scale of suffering. They did not just watch, as others did, the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, but moved with Gaza with everything they could, through weekly marches and popular activities unparalleled anywhere in the world.”
He added: “Our people did everything they could in fulfilling their humanitarian, Islamic, ethical, value-based, and Quranic duty in supporting the Palestinian people, and faced rounds of confrontation with the American enemy, which attacked our people in support of the Israeli enemy.”
He continued: “By God’s grace, our dear people developed their military capabilities until they reached a great, important, and advanced level despite this siege and aggression, delivering a message that they do not surrender to siege and aggression but rely on God, and that they are among the peoples who turn challenges into opportunities and create a distinguished reality from them.”
He went on to say: “With the Saudis focusing—in line with American, British, and Israeli direction—on the siege, it was inevitable that our people would move to confront that,” affirming that the Saudi path is one of further tightening the siege with American-British partnership.
The Leader of the Revolution affirmed that the Saudis have made themselves a tool for Zionism, America, and Britain, although their presence and supervision are clear. He pointed out that the Saudi enemy makes itself the primary tool in execution, funding, and mobilizing others to serve Zionism, and has moved toward more siege, strangulation, and tightening on the Yemeni people.
He said: “There had to be a serious response to the Saudi siege, and this does not mean we have neglected the reality of our nation around us or the Palestinian cause,” affirming that Yemen’s move in confronting Saudi aggression is in the same direction and the same stance on the nation’s issues, because the Saudi enemy moves as part of the Zionist system.
He noted that the Saudi enemy represents a tool for the Zionist system to implement its conspiracies, programs, and activities, and facts prove that. The Saudi regime is linked through documents and scandals to Zionism in what is known as the file of the Zionist Jew Jeffrey Epstein, and it has its share of scandals related to that file as part of Zionism.
He added: “Among the ugliest things revealed in the Jeffrey Epstein documents, exposing the baseness of the Saudi role, was the gifting of the Kiswah of the Holy Kaaba to the Jew Epstein. The Saudis gifted the Kiswah of the Holy Kaaba to Epstein to make it a carpet he treads on with his shoe, and also to make it part of what he offers in satanic rituals, in contempt of Islamic sanctities.”
He expressed regret over the silence of Islamic governments regarding the gifting of the Kaaba’s Kiswah to the Jewish criminal Epstein, adding: “It is unfortunate that Islamic governments and religious bodies in the Islamic world remained silent over the gifting of the Kaaba’s Kiswah to the Jewish criminal Epstein.”
The Leader considered the gifting of the Kaaba’s Kiswah to the Jewish criminal Epstein a great offense and betrayal of Islam, betrayal of the Two Holy Sanctuaries and Islamic sanctities, calling for an Islamic committee to investigate the heinous betrayal of gifting the Kaaba’s Kiswah to the Jewish criminal Epstein, as it is a serious issue and a great offense.
He explained that the gifting of the Kaaba’s Kiswah to the Jewish criminal Epstein reveals the level of the Saudi regime’s connection to that corrupting Jew, who is part of a Zionist system, and at the same time expresses the Saudi regime’s contempt for Islam and Muslims.
He said: “The Saudi regime brought a Zionist Jewish female singer to the land of the Two Holy Sanctuaries, and in her song were explicit phrases insulting God Almighty, His angels, and His prophets. What the Jewish singer revealed is that the Saudi Entertainment Authority was aware of the offensive phrases against God, the angels, and the prophets.”
He considered what happened in bringing the Jewish singer as contempt for Islam and Muslims, revealing the truth of the Saudi regime, affirming that the Saudi regime presents itself in multiple faces—one Islamic, another degenerate, fallen, and decadent, and also a criminal, bloody, hideous face, and a Takfiri face.
He affirmed that facts reveal the Saudi regime, expose it, and show its true nature, and there should have been condemnation in the Islamic arena for that, adding: “Among the Saudi regime’s practices is its use of a model of the Holy Kaaba and hosting fallen, dancing prostitutes to circumambulate it.”
He asked: “Can a regime that moves at this degenerate, base, and filthy level toward Islamic sanctities be entrusted with Islamic sanctities? Instead of the Saudi regime’s Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, it reversed the trend through the Entertainment Authority that promotes promiscuity, corruption, alcohol, decadence, and depravity.”
The Leader of the Revolution criticized the Saudi regime’s waging of a media war against the Islamic nation in open service of Zionism, affirming that Saudi media content perfectly aligns with Israeli and American content within unified policies, stances, and orientations.
He noted that the Saudi regime works to incite against the free people of the nation, seeks to sow discord among the nation’s sons, seeks to domesticate the nation for Zionism and the Jews, and works to incite people against any free stance in the nation, affirming that the Saudi regime has worked to modify curricula according to Jewish directives, to the point of deleting Quranic verses and hadiths.
He said: “Distorting Islamic concepts is among the worst things the Saudis work on to incite discord in the Islamic world. No discord has occurred among any people of our Islamic nation in this era we know without the Saudis having a role in engineering, feeding, inciting, and funding it.”
He added: “All the discord that occurred in the Arab world in general, resulting in bloodshed and division, the Saudis rushed to fund, and any organized crime activity, even in our country Yemen, is funded by the Saudis.”
He also asked: “How many billions have the Saudis spent in supporting the Takfiri discord in favor of Zionism, in favor of America and Israel?” affirming that the Saudis generously seek to fund discord, and their role is evil, complained of by everyone, and suffered by everyone.
Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi affirmed that the Saudi role has corrupted much because it uses the method of buying consciences, buying loyalties, and buying stances.
He said: “Many people, unfortunately, devalue themselves to the point of being bought and sold with Saudi money in exchange for opposing one side or another,” affirming that the Saudi enemy tears apart and cuts with its base money all social, Islamic, and national ties.
He pointed out that “the Saudi enemy has stirred a terrible state of division in the nation’s reality, deepened differences and fragmentation among the nation, and scattered them to a great extent. Among the roles of this regime is preventing any serious Islamic orientation to support the Palestinian people.”
He added: “There is a Saudi role that the Israelis have spoken about, the Americans have spoken about, and Trump—the sacred role model for the Saudis—has spoken about. The Saudi regime considers Trump’s words and actions as authoritative, and he says: ‘Without Saudi Arabia, Israel would not have survived,’ pointing out that the Saudi role has shackled the nation from within and prevented any serious, sincere, practical, and actual orientation to support the Palestinian people—a malicious and very evil role.”
