The Houthi group announced in a military statement on Saturday its readiness to target American ships and warships in the Red Sea if the United States becomes involved in any military attack alongside Israel against Iran.
The group's military spokesperson, Yahya Saree, said in a statement issued Saturday afternoon—viewed by Al-Mashhad Al-Yemeni—that the group 'will not stand idly by' in the face of any American-Israeli aggression targeting Iran. He stated that 'any U.S. military involvement in support of the Zionist enemy falls within a broader scheme to impose dominance over the region and strip its peoples of their freedom and dignity.'

The statement added that Houthi forces are closely monitoring all military movements in the region, including what it described as 'hostile actions against Yemen,' and that the group 'will take all necessary legitimate measures to defend the country and its people,' according to the statement.
Saree also reaffirmed the group's alignment with the 'resistance forces in Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria,' and said Yemen 'will stand by any Arab or Muslim country subjected to Zionist aggression or that decides to confront it in self-defense.'
The statement concluded by declaring that the Houthis 'will not abandon the Palestinian people' and 'will not allow the Israeli entity, backed by the U.S., to carry out its plans in the region.'
Meanwhile, the Presidential Leadership Council in Yemen's interim capital, Aden, has warned the Houthis against dragging Yemen into a devastating regional war.
The statement comes amid growing anticipation of potential U.S. military intervention aimed at destroying Iran's nuclear program. Earlier today, the U.S. military website The Aviationist reported that two squadrons of B-2 strategic stealth bombers departed Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri and are currently en route to Guam in the Pacific Ocean.
The report did not mention any deployment of bombers to Diego Garcia, as had occurred in previous operations targeting the Houthis.
It's worth noting that U.S. President Donald Trump announced in early May that a deal had been reached with the Houthis—requested by the group via Oman—under which the Houthis would halt their attacks in the Red Sea in exchange for a cessation of American airstrikes on the group and areas under its control.
