Yemen reaction to Saudi attack
Yemen vows the Saudi airstrikes on the Sanaa International Airport will not go unanswered. The Yemeni Armed Forces holds Saudi Arabia responsible for the consequences. The Foreign Ministry also declared that the Saudi attack is an announcement of the beginning of a new war while the Ministry of Transport said the attack was driven by Americans and Zionists. It also called on the international community to assume responsibility regarding the 10-year blockade that the Yemenis continue to be subjected to. Meanwhile, Ansarallah says the bombing was aimed at stopping the Yemeni delegation in Iran from returning, which failed. The resistance movement said the attack reflected Saudi and US hostility toward the Yemeni people and was an attempt to undermine Yemen's sovereign decision-making, stressing that such policies would fail. Following the strike on Sanaa airport, the Iranian plane headed to Hodeidah Airport in western Yemen, making another attempt to break the siege.
Iran warns against war expansion
Iran's central military command says it will not allow the United States to make any interference in managing the Strait of Hormuz. The command center added that the responsibility for the spillover of the war lies with the US and countries that collaborate with it.
US MoU violations
Donald Trump says the US will have control over the Strait of Hormuz, announcing a %20 charge on cargo passing through the Strait. The US president also declared the return of the naval blockade of Iran. In a post on Truth Social platform, Trump declared the United States would become the Guardian of the Hormuz Strait and all commercial cargo transiting the strategic waterway would be subject to a %20 fee to fund US security operations. He also vowed to reinstate a blockade targeting Iranian ships and their customers while allowing unrestricted passage for other countries. The announcement came after Trump declared the ceasefire with Iran was over. Critics argue this violates the Iran-US memorandum which calls for reducing tensions and preserving maritime security through dialogue rather than unilateral pressure.
