Hizam al-Asad, a member of the Ansarullah Political Bureau, has refuted claims of Yemeni neutrality regarding regional escalation, describing statements by US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as “false.”
In a post on the “X” platform this Thursday, al-Asad asserted that Yemen is not neutral toward attacks targeting Iran, Lebanon, and Palestine.
"لقد كذب وزير الحرب الأمريكي؛ فنحن لسنا محايدين تجاه العدوان الأمريكي-الإسرائيلي الذي يستهدف شعوب أمتنا في إيران ولبنان، أو أي شعبٍ مسلم، ولن نتخلى عن وحدة الساحات بين دول وفصائل المقاومة." https://t.co/1jNQCpbXF7

He emphasized Sanaa’s firm commitment to the “Unity of Fronts” among resistance countries and factions to confront aggression.
This response follows US claims suggesting that Yemeni forces are staying “out of the conflict” currently unfolding in the region.
