RIYADH: Yemen’s armed forces are prepared to handle any field development or escalation by the Houthi militia, spokesman Brig. Gen. Abdu Majly has said.
In remarks to Asharq Al-Awsat, he condemned the “direct Iranian meddling” in Yemen, which he said was a threat to regional and international security that would undermine efforts to reach a political settlement to the war.
Iran’s operation of a direct Mahan Air flight from Houthi-held Sanaa airport is a “flagrant violation of the Yemeni republic’s sovereignty” and an undermining of international laws and UN Security Council resolutions, he added.
He also deemed it a “dangerous threat to Yemeni and regional security.”
Majly said the flight carried Iranian advisers and members of the Revolutionary Guard Corps. They arrived in Yemen to run military operations alongside the Houthis.
