Following the United States' airstrikes on nuclear facilities in Iran on Saturday, Yemen's Ansar Allah (Houthis) declared full support for Tehran and went beyond condemnation, hinting at possible military actions that could once again put U.S. interests in the region at risk. The United States conducted attacks on three Iranian nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan on Saturday. Yemen's Houthi group called the strikes a serious escalation that threatens regional stability. The group also said that U.S. ships and warships in the Red Sea are now considered possible military targets. "We strongly condemn the U.S. aggression against Iran. We see it as part of the West's historic crimes, rooted in colonial thinking. And we have declared our full support for Iran. If the U.S. attacks again, we will take direct military action in the Red Sea and target American warships," said Mohammad Taher Anam, advisor of Yemen's Houthi supreme political council. Many Yemenis have expressed concern over rising tensions in the Middle East. They warn that expanding the Israel-Iran war could have disastrous consequences for the whole region, especially with ongoing humanitarian crises and conflicts in Gaza and the Red Sea. "We, as citizens and people of the Arab and Islamic nations, condemn the U.S. attack on Iran. These strikes aim to widen the conflict in the region," said Issa al-Sayani, a Yemeni resident of Sanaa.
