Being Killed by America and Remaining Silent Unacceptable – Ansarullah Leader

By Staff, Agencies

Leader of Yemeni Ansarullah revolutionary movement, Sayyed Abdul Malik Badreddine al-Houthi emphasized that the equation of being killed by the United States and remaining silent, and submitting to the American intervention in all affairs is unacceptable for the nation’s free people.

The free people of the Ummah, who operate in all fields from Yemen to Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq and Iran won’t accept the American violation, Sayyed al-Houthi added.

In a live televised speech from the Yemeni capital, the Ansarullah leader strongly condemned the recent assassination of Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, the commander of the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps [IRGC], and the second-in-command of Iraqi Popular Mobilization Units [PMU], Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis near Baghdad International Airport, stating that the United States flagrantly violated Iraq’s sovereignty by committing such a felony.

“The recent US criminal acts as regards targeting free and great Muslim commanders Hajj Qassem Soleimani, Hajj Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis and their comrades were blatant aggression. The United States has no right to carry out any military operations inside Iraq and kill its citizens and those of neighboring countries,” Sayyed al-Houthi said on Wednesday afternoon.

He went on to say that Washington infringed upon all international and legal principles by assassinating the commanders of the axis of resistance, describing Iran as the sole country that is withstanding US aggression.

“The US has launched an open war, and has clearly made us the target of its attacks,” Sayyed al-Houthi said.

The Ansarullah chief then pointed to US crimes during the occupation of Iraq, emphasizing that Washington has the blood of hundreds of Iraqis on its hands.

“US support for the Zionist regime and its disregard to the Muslim Ummah and its sanctities is out of question. The [Saudi-led] coalition that invaded our country is under the US influence. Such an onslaught would not have taken place without US involvement,” he highlighted.

Sayyed al-Houthi added, “US bombs have claimed lives at funerals and wedding ceremonies across Yemen. Some Muslim nations cannot even hold a demonstration against the ‘Israeli’ regime, despite the fact it is the sworn enemy of the Muslim Ummah.”

The Ansarullah leader further noted that submission to the US and Tel Aviv regime would be against all Islamic and humane fundamentals.

“If we capitulate to the US and ‘Israel’ and bow down to them, we will turn into a nation that has failed to comprehend the true meaning of Islam. Some parties have actually turned into wax in the hands of the US. Submission to the US will divest us of our human dignity and values. We deserve to be a free nation. The United States bears Muslim nations animosity, and even treats its mercenaries humiliatingly,” he said.
