Yemen's Ansarullah ready to enter battlefield in support of Iran: Report
Yemen's Ansarullah popular resistance movement is reportedly ready to enter the battlefield in support of Iran amid ongoing unprovoked American-Israeli aggression targeting the Islamic Republic.
"As they have stated since the first day" of the unlawful aggression on February 28, Ansarullah "is on full alert and ready to enter the battlefield," Tasnim News Agency reported on Wednesday, citing an informed source.

According to the source, the movement is prepared to enter the equation by exercising control over the strategic Bab al-Mandeb Strait as an instrument of pressure targeting the aggressors.
'Fighters set to discipline aggressors'
The source emphasized that if controlling the strait became necessary to further "discipline" the enemy, not only does Iran alone have the capability to generate a credible threat in the strait, but the "heroic forces" of Ansarallah were also "fully prepared to play a skillful role."
The source noted that Ansarallah has previously demonstrated that closing the Bab al-Mandeb Strait and asserting the will of the resistance in the Red Sea is an easy task for it.

The group has on numerous occasions in the past deployed its extensive military might towards applying immense pressure on hostile parties.
After October 7, 2023, when the Israeli regime began a heavily-US-backed war of genocide against the Gaza Strip, the movement started, among other things, to impose a naval blockade on Israeli ships and vessels either heading towards or away from the occupied territories.
The blockade went on to impose significant costs on the regime's economy, prompting ships to take the markedly lengthier and costlier route around southern African to reach the territories.

Besides the siege, Ansarullah would impose an aerial blockade on the regime, take sensitive and strategic Israeli targets under heavy missile strikes on a daily basis, and launch repeated operations against American naval vessels deployed off Yemen's coastline, the latter move causing at least two US aircraft carriers to withdraw.
