Political bureau member Ali al-Imad says Yemeni forces are ready to coordinate with the Axis of Resistance, and are awaiting a decision from leadership in Sanaa

Ali al-Imad, head of Yemen’s Central Organization for Control and Auditing and member of the Ansarallah political bureau, told The Cradle in an exclusive interview on 4 March that Sanaa is already in a “declared state of war.”

His comments signal potential intervention from Yemen, at some point, in the ongoing regional war sparked by the US-Israeli aggression on Iran.

“Sanaa considers itself to be in a declared state of war, and the decision to escalate depends on battlefield conditions,” he said when asked about opening a front.

Asked about why Sanaa’s forces have not already entered the fight directly, Imad told The Cradle:

“From the very first day, the leader of Ansarallah, Sayyed Abdul Malik al-Houthi, announced our full readiness for confrontation. We consider ourselves to be in a declared state of war and confrontation, but determining the time and place of engagement is subject to the leadership’s decision and the conditions of the battle. We believe we are one front, and we fight our enemies only within a unified collective path.”

He responded to speculation that Yemen’s position is linked to Gulf states directly entering the war offensively by saying that this “battle is not Arab versus Arab, nor is it between Islamic countries.”

“The confrontation is with the US, with its direct military presence and its roles in the region. We do not link our position to any Gulf decision, and there has been no bilateral communication or offers from those regimes, nor could we accept such things,” he went on to say.

“We consider standing with Iran a religious and national duty because it is on the front line confronting a project that targets the entire region, whether under the banner of ‘Greater Israel’ or the ‘New Middle East.’ We will remain steadfast in supporting the Axis of Resistance in confronting Israel, the US, and some western countries,” he added.
