Houthis Issue Direct Threat: 'Saudi Oil Facilities Added to Military Target Bank'

A Houthi official threatened in pro-Iranian media that Saudi oil facilities have been added to the military target bank, in response to last week's Saudi airstrike in Al-Hudaydah. The threat includes demands to lift the naval and aerial blockade, pay compensation, and fully withdraw from Yemen.

A Houthi militia official in Yemen threatened this morning (Tuesday) in pro-Iranian media that vital Saudi oil facilities have been added to the military target bank. The threat comes in response to last week's Saudi airstrike on weapons warehouses in the Houthi-controlled city of Al-Hudaydah. The official claimed the strike carried a clear message that Saudi Arabia cannot protect its facilities, and that coalitions with the US will not defend it. He added that Sanaa forces have previously attacked an oil pipeline system over 1,500 km away and can reach anywhere. Key demands: lifting the naval and aerial blockade, addressing state employee salaries, paying compensation, and full withdrawal from Yemen. He also demanded the dismantling of militias and cessation of funding to Saudi-backed organizations.
