Yemen's armed forces revealed the approaches of the next stage in case of expanding the scope of the war and said: "We will use the trump card of closing Bab al-Mandab to American and Israeli ships and the sea and air blockade of Israel and the US."
- Yemen will use new weapons in this round of war, he added: "If Israel does not surrender and the international community does not do its duty to stop the crimes against the people of Palestine, Lebanon and Iran, we have several options in the next phase."
- Yemeni commander stated that "the coming hours are full of big surprises", and pointed out that the Yemeni armed forces are in a position today that can carry out special military operations that Israel does not expect.
- Yemeni commander said: We will not allow US bases in our coastal countries to be used against Iran. Therefore, we will take any military action to support Iran and neutralize the enemy's weapons. "In the field, everything will be clear."
