Iran Press/Middle East: The National Salvation Government of Yemen, on Saturday, in its meeting announced that the US military presence in the Strait of Bab al-Mandab, the coasts and territorial waters of Yemen represents a hostile action and has disastrous effects on regional and global security.
The Council of Ministers, in its meeting on Saturday, chaired by Prime Minister Abdulaziz Saleh bin Habtoor, condemned the intense US presence off the Yemeni coast and Bab al-Mandab area, which represents a lifeline for the world economy.
The Council considered the presence of US forces in the coasts and territorial waters of the Republic of Yemen and some military bases "a hostile act that will have catastrophic effects on the region and the world," noting that this presence is a result of the aggression and blockade of the United States of America on the people of Yemen since March 2015 until the present moment.
The Cabinet indicated that the presence of American and Zionist forces in the Red Sea threatens maritime navigation security and aligns with global developments towards ending unipolar domination, with many countries orienting towards the East after they have grown tired of the West's colonial and arrogant policies.
In this context, the Yemen's Council of Ministers affirmed that the armed forces, represented by the naval forces, are ready to deal with that presence, which harms Yemeni sovereignty and contradicts international laws and norms. 219
