Ministry of Information condemns attack on Iranian Broadcasting & Television Building

Sana'a - SABA:
The Ministry of Information in Sana'a strongly condemned the aggressive act that targeted the headquarters of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) in the capital, Tehran, which resulted in the martyrdom and injury of a number of media professionals and workers in the media sector.
In a statement issued by the Ministry, the attack was described as a blatant extension of the Israeli aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran, and as a flagrant violation of media freedom and a serious infringement on the rights of journalists.
The Ministry pointed out that this attack is a desperate attempt to silence the free and independent voice of the Iranian people, who reject American hegemony, the liquidation of the Palestinian cause, and the conspiracy to divide the Middle East. It also considered the attack as evidence of the effectiveness of Iranian media in the decisive battle against the Israeli enemy.
The Ministry affirmed its full solidarity with Iranian media, the journalists, and the staff of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, expressing heartfelt condolences to the families of the martyrs and wishing a swift recovery for the injured.
The Ministry called on international media organizations, journalist unions, and institutions concerned with media freedom to condemn this blatant aggression and to pressure relevant international bodies to bring the Israeli leaders responsible for this criminal act to justice.

Yemen :Houthis vow to strike US ships if America joins Israel's war on Iran

Yemen's Houthi rebels vowed on Saturday to resume attacks on US ships if American forces join Israel's war on Iran. "In the event that the Americans are involved in the attack and aggression against Iran alongside the Israeli enemy, the armed forces will target their ships and warships in the Red Sea," the Houthis said in a statement. Last week, Yemeni security sources told The National that the rebels are considering resuming strikes on US targets in the Middle East and intensifying attacks on Israel in support of Iran. US President Donald Trump said last month the Iran-backed Houthis 'capitulated' and that America would stop strikes on the rebels after they agreed to cease attacking ships in the Red Sea. The Houthis are part of the so-called Axis of Resistance, an Iran-led network that includes Hamas in Palestine, Hezbollah in Lebanon and armed groups in Iraq, whose aim is to deter Israel from conducting military action and countering its influence in the region. Many of the groups have fought against Iran's enemies in their respective countries. The groups launched attacks on Israel as part of a support campaign for Hamas and the Palestinian people after the Gaza war broke out on October 7, 2023. But months of fighting with Israel, which holds clear military dominance, have eroded the operational capacity of the axis considerably. Hezbollah was once considered Iran's first line of defence against Israeli attacks, but strikes against the group last year killed its political and military leaders and largely destroyed its arsenal. Lebanese officials have urged Hezbollah not to respond to Israeli attacks on Iran. In Iraq, sources close to the government told The National this week that some of the most prominent militant groups have made it known that any US military intervention would trigger a response.2222222aq

President Al-Mashat: We will work to prevent any participation in aggression against Iran by all legitimate means

Sana'a - (Saba): His Excellency Field Marshal Mahdi Al-Mashat, President of the Supreme Political Council, confirmed that he will "direct the Foreign Ministry to send a memorandum to notify the United Nations of our observations of preparations and readiness by some member states to participate with the Israeli entity in its aggression against Iran." President Al-Mashat said in a statement to the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), "We will work to prevent any participation in the aggression against Iran by all legitimate means." He called on all Arab, Islamic, and peace-loving countries to make the same decision instead of waiting for us to target one country after another. He added, "We have every right to our decision, humanitarian, religious, and moral, and it is supported by international and regional conventions and Yemeni laws." President Al-Mashat pointed out that when countries abandon their responsibility to protect international peace and security and become supporters and accomplices of the aggressor in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Iran, the solution lies in a strong and unified stance from all. He said, "The fire will reach every country if we do not all take action and stop the scheme of the arrogant powers to violate it." He pointed out that "any hostile act targeting any Islamic country will be opposed and confronted by us. This is our position, and we have previously announced it." His Excellency the President reiterated that America will not achieve anything new if it participates with the Israeli enemy entity in its aggression against Iran, except for its further involvement, and everyone will see that. He added, "We will direct the Humanitarian Operations Center to take the necessary measures in accordance with Yemeni law," stressing that anyone who supports or participates in Israel's aggression must pay the price for their decision.
