Minister of Information: Al-Mashat’s appearance reveals the false strength of the Houthis and reflects the militia’s confusion.
Houthi Leadership Exposed: Minister Highlights Weakness Amidst Military Posturing

Minister’s Statement on Houthi Claims
The Minister of Information, Culture, and Tourism, Muammar Al-Eryani, recently criticized the Houthi leader, Mahdi Al-Mashat, for his awkward military appearance. Al-Mashat, dressed in a military uniform and adorned with the rank of “Marshal,” stood among second-tier Houthi leaders. Al-Eryani emphasized that this display reveals the hollow nature of the Houthi claims of strength, which the Iranian-backed militia has attempted to promote for over a decade.
Lack of Military Credentials
Al-Eryani pointed out that Al-Mashat has never attended a military academy. Instead, he tries to mimic a military leader’s image. The minister stated that everyone understands the Houthis merely serve as a cheap Iranian tool executing orders from Tehran.
Contradictions in Houthi Messaging
According to Al-Eryani, the stark contrast between Al-Mashat’s forced military demeanor and his nervous body language reflects the mounting military pressure on the militia. He noted that this involuntary message reveals the internal anxiety and confusion plaguing the Houthi group. Al-Eryani remarked, “This situation exposes the fragility and weakness of the Houthi militia.”
Internal Struggles and External Pressures
The minister highlighted the inconsistencies in Al-Mashat’s statements, asserting they only mirror the internal turmoil faced by the Houthis. He confirmed that the militia is experiencing its worst days, as the Iranian support that once bolstered them is now waning due to regional and international shifts. Additionally, the Houthi armed organization is crumbling under precise strikes targeting their command centers, communication networks, and weapon depots.
Threats to the Yemeni People
Regarding Al-Mashat’s threats of “execution” against the Yemeni people, Al-Eryani stated that such threats reflect the Houthis’ failure to confront the battlefield reality. He described it as a desperate attempt to instill fear in Yemenis, who remain undeterred by these threats. “The Yemeni people have repeatedly shown that they do not succumb to intimidation; instead, they respond with greater determination to resist the militia and pursue their aspirations for a nation free from Iranian oppression,” he added.
Misguided Responses to International Sanctions
On Al-Mashat’s comments about imposing sanctions on American arms and oil companies in response to the Houthis being designated as a terrorist organization, Al-Eryani criticized this logic as indicative of the militia’s ignorance. He explained that the Houthis exist in a state of delusion, lacking an understanding of basic international politics and economics.
Conclusion: The Houthi Militia’s Decline
In closing, Al-Eryani asserted that Al-Mashat’s claims of a fabricated victory and his attempts to project an image of “strength” and “resilience” will ultimately prove futile. The reality on the ground indicates that the Houthi militia is experiencing significant military and political failures, suffering heavy losses recently. All signs point to a clear collapse within their ranks, suggesting that their end is imminent.
