Newsyemen, Middle East:

The spokesman for the Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen, Colonel Turki Al-Maliki, describes the Houthi militias as "without will and decision," and stresses not to tolerate specific threats, stressing that the coalition will continue to support the legitimate Yemeni government to restore the state and end the coup, with a reminder to support "the efforts made by the UN envoy to Yemen, Martin Griffiths, to reach a comprehensive political solution (ending the suffering of the Yemeni people due to the coup and the violations of the Iranian-backed terrorist Houthi militia).

In statements to Asharq Al-Awsat, Al-Maliki said, "There is no doubt that the terrorist Houthi militia is without will and decision in front of all the initiatives and efforts exerted regionally and internationally to reach a comprehensive and sustainable political solution in Yemen."

He added, "The Iranian Revolutionary Guard’s project and its agenda overwhelm and control the joints of decision-making within the militias. 

Loyalty and absolute implementation of Iranian dictates have become the hallmark and distinguishing mark of expressing the ideological and sectarian subordination of Tehran."

The Houthis had recently withdrawn from allowing the United Nations to send a team to assess the floating oil tanker off Hodeidah, "Safer", which threatens a major environmental and economic disaster.  

The group tried to barter the tanker’s oil in exchange for allowing the tanker to land, which prompted UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres - according to sources - to issue a statement calling for the team to be allowed to assess the tanker and its damages without conditions, according to a spokesperson in a statement posted on the UN website.

Colonel Al-Maliki, on the authority of Safer and the militia’s recent move, said, “The Houthi militia’s failure to implement its commitment with the United Nations to maintain the floating oil reservoir (Safer) and to return to refuse and fabricate flimsy reasons comes in the context of the Iranian strategy that the militia adopts to procrastinate and procrastinate, and the Houthis must bear legal responsibility before the international community in  In the event of an environmental and economic disaster in the southern Red Sea ».

Speaking of the field situation, Al-Maliki talks about the "continued failed attempts by the terrorist Houthi militia to target civilians and civilian objects inside Yemen and the countries neighboring Yemen."  

He says, the militias ’attempts to cover their human losses on the ground and raise the morale of their terrorist elements are reflected in the Nehm, Al-Jawf, and Al-Bayda fronts ... There are hundreds of terrorist elements who are being driven to perdition every day while the militias are searching and desperate to achieve any progress or control on the ground,  In light of the progress of the Yemeni National Army and the honorable tribesmen ».

The spokesman revealed "focused strikes to destroy and neutralize these capabilities that threaten regional and international security during the past week," and stressed, "We will not tolerate Houthi threats to possess qualitative capabilities such as ballistic missiles, drones, and the threat of shipping lines and global trade, confirming to support the legitimate Yemeni government to restore the state and end the coup."
