The statement issued by the Sana’a Ministry of Foreign Affairs carried unprecedented escalatory indicators and a strategic shift in the course of managing the conflict with the Saudi regime, as Sana’a drew a new deterrence equation to place the entire economic nerve of the Kingdom under the guillotine of direct military targeting.
Special Follow-ups – Al-Khabar Al-Yemeni:
A detailed analysis of the statement shows that Sana’a deliberately “publicly updated its target bank” within the Saudi depths, clearly indicating that Riyadh today has much to lose. The Foreign Ministry called on the head of the Saudi regime to “look at the oil fields, Aramco facilities, Yanbu port, the rest of the ports, the financial stock exchange, and the Vision 2030 projects, perhaps to return to its senses,” which are clear indications of sites ready for bombardment in the event of the continued siege or any new hostile adventure against Yemen.
The content of the statement delivered decisive messages on several tracks, as the Foreign Ministry affirmed that reopening Sana’a International Airport to end the suffering of the Yemeni people and end the state of guardianship over them is a sovereign right, adding that Sana’a is proceeding with this “without anyone’s permission,” including the continuation of flights between Sana’a and Tehran airports, regardless of the consequences and results.
The statement also stressed that Yemen is still in the “early stages of breaking the siege,” and that the decision to end the war and break the imposed restrictions has been made by all state institutions and will not be retracted regardless of the cost. Meanwhile, Sana’a’s Foreign Ministry warned that any escalatory step taken by the Saudi regime will cast its negative shadow on the already unstable region and will result in “catastrophic effects on the global economy” at large.
This escalation from the Foreign Ministry is in harmony and integration with the stern field warnings issued by the Yemeni forces’ spokesman last Friday, in which he warned the Saudi regime against repeating any attempts to violate airspace or commit any aggression against Yemen, affirming that committing any folly will be met with a comprehensive and direct response targeting Saudi airports and vital interests on land and sea alike.
The Yemeni forces, in the position reinforced by the Foreign Ministry’s statement today and strengthened by the general mobilization and public alert statement in Sana’a areas, stressed the refusal to accept the continuation of the Saudi-American siege indefinitely, and the commitment to taking all legitimate steps to secure the human and sovereign rights of Yemenis.
Sana’a reminded the Saudi regime that its aggression, which has lasted for over a decade, spared nothing, not even cemeteries, and caused the martyrdom of hundreds of thousands of Yemenis without achieving its goals. The Foreign Ministry called on Riyadh to take heed from the lessons of failure and the collapse of previous bets, advising it to take the safest path for everyone, and holding it “fully responsible and accountable for any hostile moves it undertakes in cooperation with its tools or Zionist partners.”
Observers believe that including the “Vision 2030” projects in the updated target bank represents a strike at the strategic depth of the Saudi regime; as this vision constitutes the most prominent personal project and the fateful success story of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, through which he aspires to “transfer the Kingdom to a post-oil era and transform it into a global financial and tourism hub” via giant billion-dollar projects such as “NEOM” and “Al-Qiddiya.” Therefore, placing these projects at the mercy of Yemeni fire would undermine all the ambitions of the current Saudi leadership and eliminate the attractiveness of foreign investment, meaning turning the pillars of the “Saudi future” into an unbearable financial and security burden if Sana’a decides to activate the options for comprehensive response.
