Yemen Reaffirms Solidarity with Arab Nations Amid Iranian Aggressions

Yemen Participates in Arab League Ministerial Meeting

Today, Yemen participated in the 165th ordinary session of the Arab League Council at the ministerial level. The meeting took place via video conference, led by Deputy Foreign Minister Mustafa Noman. The discussions focused on the implications of Iranian aggressions against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of several Arab nations.

Rising Threats to Arab National Security

In his address, Deputy Minister Noman emphasized that the region faces a critical phase due to escalating threats to Arab national security. He pointed out that Iranian aggressions signify a dangerous shift in Iran’s behavior, moving from reliance on proxies to direct confrontations targeting Arab states.

Solidarity with Affected Arab Nations

Noman reiterated Yemen’s full solidarity with its Arab brothers, particularly the Gulf Cooperation Council countries and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. He condemned these attacks as blatant violations of international law, the United Nations Charter, and principles of good neighborliness, asserting that they infringe upon the sovereignty and territorial unity of nations.

Iranian Interventions and Regional Stability

The Deputy Minister highlighted that Iran’s approach, which involves exporting crises and destabilizing the region, reflects a systematic policy that contradicts fundamental international relations. He warned that continued Iranian behavior could lead to severe repercussions for regional and international security, including threats to maritime navigation and vital corridors.

Yemen as a Case Study of Iranian Influence

Noman pointed out that the situation in Yemen serves as a clear example of the consequences of Iranian interventions, particularly through support for Houthi militias. This involvement has resulted in a profound humanitarian and economic crisis, alongside the collapse of state institutions. He stressed that this behavior constitutes a systematic aggression with premeditated intentions, using Arab territories as leverage in conflicts.

Call for Unified Arab Response

To address these challenges, Noman called for a unified and decisive Arab stance. He urged the activation of joint Arab action mechanisms, including the Arab collective defense system, to ensure the protection of Arab national security and counter external interventions.

Conclusion: Strengthening Arab Solidarity

In closing, Noman expressed confidence that this session, chaired by the Kingdom of Bahrain, would enhance Arab solidarity and unify positions regarding shared challenges. This unity is essential for preserving the security and stability of Arab nations and safeguarding their sovereignty.

Arab Foreign Ministers’ Stance on Iranian Aggressions

During the ministerial meeting, Arab foreign ministers discussed the serious implications of Iranian escalation. They issued a statement declaring that the attacks on sovereign Arab territories are unjustifiable acts of aggression. The ministers firmly rejected these violations.

They called on the Islamic Republic of Iran to immediately cease all attacks, particularly those targeting commercial vessels. They emphasized the need to refrain from any actions that could obstruct legitimate passage or undermine freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, as such actions directly impact the security and stability of the region and the world.
