The Yemeni legitimate government called on the Lebanese government, the Arab League, and the international community to pressure the Lebanese Hezbollah to stop its interference in Yemeni affairs.
Yemeni Minister of Information, Culture, and Tourism Muammar al-Eryani said that the statements of the Secretary-General of Hezbollah Hassan Nasrallah reveal the involvement of the Tehran regime in Marib battle, as a battle of fate for its expansionist sectarian project, and its significance as a starting point for changing the region and the world.
Eryani confirmed that the Marib battle is Iran’s battle, and the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and Hezbollah are involved in “planning and managing military operations, arming and fighting on the ground.
The Houthi political and military decision depends on Iranian destructive and expansionist agenda.”
The Yemeni minister emphasized that "Marib people, army, resistance, and tribes, with support and backing of the coalition led by brothers in KSA, are fighting the battle of all Yemenis, Arabs, and the world in the face of Iranian terrorism, which poses a threat not only to Yemen and region but to all human relations."
“We affirm that Marib Governorate […] refused to accept this project and is the first wall of defense 7 years ago, is able to defeat and bury this project in deserts, valleys, and mountains of Marib.”
He called on the Lebanese government and people to pressure and stop Hezbollah’s interference in Yemeni affairs, which led to the outbreak of war, bloodshed, and exacerbation of human suffering.
“We urge the Arab League to assume its role in this battle that Yemenis are waging on behalf of the Arab nation, and extend our appreciation and gratitude for sincere and unlimited fraternal support provided by brothers in the [Saudi] Kingdom to their Yemeni brothers as they wage this historical war.”
Eryani indicated that the international community and UN Security Council permanent members are required to assume their legal mandate according to UN Charter, to intensify pressure on Hezbollah to stop its blatant interference in Yemeni affairs and designate Houthi militia as a terrorist organization.
Meanwhile, the Yemeni National Army and the Popular Resistance continue their battles against the Houthi militias in Marib, which incurred human and material losses, according to military sources.
Iranian-backed militias and their arms in the region have been desperate for months to control the oil-rich province, which is the most important stronghold of the legitimate government.
The Yemeni army media center announced that the forces, backed by the popular resistance, are waging continuous violent battles to defeat the militias in the south of Marib.
The sources stated that five vehicles of the Iranian Houthi militia were destroyed in separate locations in the south of the province.
The media center quoted field sources as saying that the army and the popular resistance carried out a sudden attack, during which they defeated the Houthi militia from several locations on the Harb front.
The army forces launched intense shelling targeting the militia’s sites and gatherings in separate locations on the Bayhan front, inflicting heavy losses.
According to the same sources, the army's artillery launched a concentrated bombardment targeting fixed and mobile militia sites in separate areas of the Juba front, which resulted in the death and injury of dozens of militants.
