'It Makes No Exceptions': Al-Houthi Warns Arab States They Are Not Exempt

Condemning US-Saudi strikes on Iraq, Yemen's Ansarullah leader says the plan he sees unfolding spares even those who serve Washington — and warns of excavation beneath al-Aqsa

Yemen’s Ansarullah leader Abdulmalik al-Houthi has condemned joint US-Saudi military action against Iraq, arguing that the strikes form part of a wider American-Israeli project to reshape West Asia and establish a “Greater Israel.”

In a televised address on Thursday, al-Houthi expressed full solidarity with the Iraqi people. “We denounce and condemn the unjust US-Saudi aggression, and we affirm our complete solidarity with the dear Iraqi people, its security institutions, and its esteemed mujahideen at all levels of support and stance,” he said. He also vowed to maintain Yemen’s “siege for a siege” strategy against Saudi Arabia.

A warning to the Gulf

The central message of the speech was directed at Arab governments aligned with Washington. “The Zionist plan is undoubtedly a danger to the entire Ummah,” al-Houthi said. “It makes no exceptions whatsoever, not even for those who serve America.”

He characterised alignment with the enemy — whether military, economic, or in the media sphere — as a deviant path amounting to apostasy and regression, and one that overturns Islamic values and principles.

Al-Houthi called on the Islamic Ummah to recognise what he described as the “clear, exposed, and explicit” nature of the threat, urging Muslim nations to act according to their religious principles and ethics rather than following those he said had chosen the other side.

‘Dangerous indicators’ beneath al-Aqsa

The Ansarullah leader also warned of what he called dangerous indicators that Israel is preparing to bring about the indirect destruction of parts of the al-Aqsa Mosque through extensive excavation work beneath the site.

Complicit regional governments, he alleged, are being relied upon to dilute global outrage over the matter through media distortion.

The remarks extend a line of argument al-Houthi has developed across recent addresses, in which he has cast the war on Iran, the pressure on Syria and Lebanon, and now the strikes on Iraq as connected elements of a single regional design — and has repeatedly warned Gulf states hosting American bases that their cooperation offers them no protection from it.
