PNN – A senior member of the Ansarallah movement has described the securing of the Bab al-Mandab Strait—and the establishment of full control over it by Yemeni forces—as a historic victory for the Yemeni nation.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network; Hizam al-Asad, a senior member of Yemen’s Ansarallah movement, stated that the securing of the Bab al-Mandab Strait—along with its surrounding mountainous, desert, and coastal regions—by Yemeni armed forces constitutes a historic victory for the people of Yemen.
He emphasized that this development represents a strategic step toward strengthening the security and safety of international shipping, while simultaneously marking a defeat for the schemes of the Saudi regime and its backers in their aggression against the Yemeni nation.
Al-Assad added that these schemes were pursued with the aim of establishing dominance over Yemen—its resources, capabilities, and strategic location.
Earlier today, Dhaifallah al-Shami, a member of the political bureau of Yemen’s Ansarallah movement, announced that the strategic Bab al-Mandab region has been rendered completely secure following a heavy and decisive defeat of the enemy.
In making this statement, Al-Shami emphasized that recent developments signify a shift in the regional balance and the failure of the opposing side to achieve its objectives.
As a strategic global trade artery, the Bab al-Mandab Strait has—in recent months, amid the conflict involving the U.S. and Israel against Iran—emerged as a major focal point of regional tension; meanwhile, Yemeni armed forces, as part of the broader escalation, have played an increasingly active role in developments across the Red Sea and in confronting the U.S.-Israeli axis.
