“Anyone who thinks they will be victorious by allying themselves with the Americans is seriously wrong and their certain destiny is loss [and defeat],” Abdul-Malik al-Houthi said on Thursday, Yemen’s al-Masirah television network reported.
Since March 2015, the UAE and Saudi Arabia—the US's closest allies in the region after the Israeli regime— have been waging a war on Yemen. The invasion aims to restructure Yemen's government in favor of the impoverished country's old Riyadh and Washington-aligned rulers.
The war, which has benefited from the United States' unwavering arms, logistical, and political assistance, has killed tens of thousands of Yemenis and turned the country into the world's worst humanitarian crisis.
Al-Houthi referred to the UAE as "America's major instrument" in the conflict, saying that Abu Dhabi has increased its attacks on Yemen on the orders of the US, Britain, and the Zionist regime of Israel.
The Ansarullah leader, on the other hand, predicted that the country's invaders would "suffer defeat and loss over their invasion."
“As long as our people are steadfast, they (the nation) will avoid defeat and be victorious,” he noted.
Facing up to the invasion, Yemen’s army and its allied popular committees have vowed not to lay down their arms until the country’s complete liberation from the scourge of the invasion.
In the space of a single month, the joint forces have carried out several rounds of retaliatory strikes against targets in Dubai and the Emirati capital.
Sana’a has also warned Abu Dhabi that the counterstrikes would be exceedingly “painful” if the latter failed to wind down its involvement in the Saudi-led and US-backed war.
