Shafaq News- Sanaa<\/p>\n
A senior official in Yemen’s Houthi movement said on Wednesday that the group, and not Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), carried out earlier attacks on Saudi Arabia, accusing Riyadh of blaming Iraqi factions for operations they did not conduct.<\/p>\n
Abdullah Al-Numi, a member of the political bureau of the Houthi movement (Ansarallah) told Shafaq News that the PMF had repeatedly denied attacking Saudi Arabia, while his movement had openly claimed responsibility for earlier operations against Saudi ports and facilities, including sites in Yanbu and Jizan.<\/p>\n
\u201cSaudi Arabia was unwilling to acknowledge the Ansarallah\u2019s responsibility for those attacks,\u201d he said, accusing the kingdom of searching for \u201cimaginary enemies out of confusion and weakness.\u201d<\/p>\n
He warned that blaming the PMF risked creating a new adversary for the kingdom, adding, “We are ready to cooperate together to bring it down.”<\/p>\n
The Houthi-run Foreign Ministry in Sanaa said on Wednesday that Iraq has a legitimate right to respond to Saudi and US strikes on its territory, declaring its solidarity with Baghdad.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe right to respond extended to Iraq, its people, and the Iraqi resistance,\u201d the ministry stated, condemning the strikes as \u201ca flagrant violation of international law.\u201d<\/p>\n
