Yemen's Houthis vow to continue military operations despite Iran-Israel ceasefire
"The acceptance by America and the Zionist entity of a ceasefire with Iran confirms that military force is the only language they understand. - Mohammed al-Bukhaiti"

Aden, June 25

Yemen's Houthi group announced that it will continue military operations against Israel, hours after US President Donald Trump declared a ceasefire agreement between Iran and Israel.

The announcement was made in a brief statement on social media platform X by Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, a member of the Houthi political bureau, Xinhua news agency reported.

"The acceptance by America and the Zionist entity of a ceasefire with Iran confirms that military force is the only language they understand," al-Bukhaiti wrote in his post.

The Houthi official emphasised that the group's military operations against Israel "will continue until the aggression on Gaza stops and the siege is lifted."

On June 13, Israel launched major airstrikes on different areas in Iran, including nuclear and military sites, killing senior commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians. Iran responded by launching several waves of missile and drone attacks on Israel, inflicting casualties and heavy damage.

On Saturday, the US Air Force bombed three Iranian nuclear sites of Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. In retaliation, Iran on Monday targeted US Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar with missiles.

Following Iran's attack, US President Donald Trump announced that a ceasefire between the two sides would begin around 0400 GMT Tuesday. Both Iran and Israel later confirmed the start of the ceasefire.

This shows how complex Middle East geopolitics is. India must maintain balanced relations with all parties while protecting our national interests. Our 9 million workers in Gulf countries' safety should be top priority 🇮🇳

The Yemen conflict is affecting global trade through Red Sea disruptions. As a major importer of crude oil, India needs to diversify energy sources and strengthen our naval presence in the region. This crisis shows why Aatmanirbhar Bharat is important!

While we must condemn violence, we should also understand the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. India has historically supported Palestinian rights while maintaining ties with Israel. Our balanced diplomacy is commendable in these turbulent times 🙏

Worried about rising oil prices if this conflict continues. Already paying ₹100+ for petrol in many cities. Government should consider reducing taxes on fuel to give relief to common people. Economy can't afford another price shock!

The Houthis' stance shows how proxy wars are destabilizing the region. India should focus on strengthening ties with moderate Arab nations and continue our non-aligned approach. Our priority should be protecting Indian interests and citizens abroad.
