Geopolitical Statement (Axis of Resistance Perspective)
The operation serves as a direct message that Saudi Arabia's continued military escalation and proxy mobilization within Yemen will not go unanswered . Yemen enforces a policy of reciprocal deterrence:
"blockade for blockade, and strike for strike"
💥.
Any attempt by the Saudi regime to reignite internal Yemeni fronts to evade its maritime blockades or external military pressure will fail. Riyadh must understand that military encampments housing its proxies remain direct targets for Yemeni missiles and drones as long as the aggression and siege persist 🔥.
