In the message, al-Mashat expressed his “most heartfelt congratulations on the forty-seventh anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution,” and wished the President of Iran health and success.
Al-Mashat said Yemen trusts in the capability of the Islamic Republic of Iran “to confront challenges with prudence and full authority,” and he emphasized Yemen's steadfastness alongside the Iranian people against plots that have targeted Iran and the entire region.
He also said the Iranian people have repeatedly demonstrated their support for the Islamic Revolution over the past decades and will once again prove this backing to the enemies of the Islamic Ummah.
Yemen backs Palestine
Yemen's Deputy Foreign Minister Abdulwahid Abu-Ras, in a phone call with Khalil al-Hayya, head of Hamas in Gaza, stressed the continuation of Sanaa's support for the Palestinian people and their cause.
IRNA, citing the Al-Masirah network, reported Abu-Ras said Yemen “stands with the Palestinian people and will support them until their legitimate rights are realized and the formation of an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.”
In response, Khalil al-Hayya appreciated Yemen's positions and said the Palestinian people “appreciate Yemen's honorable support and positions in backing the people of Gaza.”
The IRNA report also said Yemen has taken prominent supportive stances since the Gaza war began, including missile and drone operations against targets affiliated with the Israeli regime, and it described wide-scale rallies and public demonstrations in support of Palestine.
Unity of fronts
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Yemeni “Change and Construction” government in Sanaa emphasized in a statement on Sunday that the continuation of the American-Zionist aggression against Iran will not achieve its goals and will fail.
“Yemen stands by Iran within the framework of the equation of unity of the fronts”
According to Al-Masirah TV website, the statement said “Yemen stands by Iran within the framework of the equation of unity of the fronts,” and it added that there is continuous coordination regarding developments, with “many options that we will use if needed.”
The report also tied the statement to announcements from Iran’s army, saying the Public Relations Office of the Islamic Republic of Iran's army announced a wave of army drone attacks on American bases in the region.
It further stated that, in response to continued criminal American aggression in areas of the south of the country, the Islamic Republic of Iran Army targeted the Patriot system, ammunition depot, and radar site of the terrorist American army in Kuwait with kamikaza explosive drones earlier on Sunday, and it said another wave targeted the communications system and radar site in Bahrain.
