Ansar Allah’s leader denounces Israeli strikes on Iran, urges Islamic unity, supports the Palestinian Resistance, and warns of escalating regional war.
Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, leader of Yemen’s Ansar Allah movement, has warned that the Israeli strikes on the Islamic Republic of Iran constitute a dangerous escalation that could ignite a wider regional war. In a televised address on Thursday, Sayyed al-Houthi accused the United States of waging a campaign of “strategic deception”, using Iran’s nuclear program as a pretext for aggression.
“The West has used the nuclear issue as a pretense for its attack, although many states, including the United States, possess nuclear weapons and have, in fact, used them,” al-Houthi said.
He emphasized that Iran’s nuclear activity remains within peaceful bounds, reaffirming Iranian Leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei’s religious edict against weapons of mass destruction.
In contrast, he argued, the Israeli occupation, “a criminal entity acting with impunity,” should be the first to face nuclear disarmament.
Sayyed Al-Houthi praised Iran’s military retaliation against the Israeli occupation, describing it as a historic and consequential moment that placed “Israel” in a state of unprecedented vulnerability.
“Iran is not a submissive state under Western control; it is an independent, sovereign nation building an Islamic renaissance rooted in self-determination,” he declared.
He highlighted Iran’s internal unity in the face of aggression, saying it had strengthened the country’s resilience and denied its enemies the strategic leverage they sought.
In response to US President Donald Trump’s remarks calling for Iran’s “unconditional surrender”, al-Houthi dismissed the comment as both absurd and unserious.
“It’s nonsense and buffoonery. Iran is a powerful and deeply rooted nation, unlike the illegitimate Zionist entity,” he stressed.
Ansar Allah leader urges Islamic unity, resistance to US pressure
Ansar Allah’s chief emphasized that Arab and Islamic nations must reject submission to the United States, warning that Washington is actively working to align its positions with those of the Israeli occupation. He called on the Muslim world to prioritize unity, deepen cooperation, and build collective strength rooted in shared values and interests.
