Yemeni political council chief: Iranian armed forces inspiring model for Muslim world

Al-Mashat on Tuesday congratulated Iran's leadership and people on the country's victory over US and Israeli aggression.

He said Iran's success serves the interests of regional nations and the wider Muslim world, while contributing to regional security and stability.

“The Iranian armed forces and the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps presented an inspiring model of resilience, steadfastness, and strength for the Muslim world,” al-Mashat said.

He also praised Iran's management of the war, highlighting the Islamic Republic's firm response to attacks and the targeting of the interests and bases of the aggressors.

He said Iran's military response, combined with public resilience and national unity, played a key role in halting the attacks and preventing the aggressors from achieving their objectives.

“The recent war showed that the era of cost-free aggression has come to an end, and that the will of free nations can create deterrent equations capable of preventing attacks on sovereign countries,” he emphasized.

The Yemeni official further said that Iran's insistence on the principle of "unity of resistance fronts" contributed to forcing a halt to Israeli attacks on Lebanon.

He said "the enemy only understands the language of power," adding that policies of compromise and surrender only lead to greater pressure and demands.

Al-Mashat further called for increased vigilance, preservation of achievements, and continued adherence to the principle of "unity of resistance fronts."

He also called on regional governments to use the current opportunity to strengthen mutual trust, expand cooperation, and build relations based on mutual respect.

Hundreds of thousands of Yemenis staged mass rallies in Sanaa and other cities on Tuesday, celebrating Iran’s "historic victory" over the United States and Israel while condemning US President Donald Trump’s recent remarks regarding the holy city of Mecca.

The demonstrations, which according to reports drew millions of participants across more than 220 public squares in 14 provinces, featured marchers waving flags of Yemen, Iran, Palestine, Lebanon, and Iraq while chanting slogans in support of the "axis of resistance".

A statement issued by the marchers congratulated "Iran, Hezbollah, and the Axis of Jihad and Resistance on their historic victory against the criminal armies of the world" and declared that "Trump's insult to Mecca reflects his vengeful mental state, which coincided with his historic defeat".

In a separate statement, Ansarullah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi extended congratulations to Iran's leadership and people for their victory in confronting "the arrogant tyrant of the age, America, and Israel," while calling on Yemenis to unite efforts to end the Saudi-American siege.

On Sunday, Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Iran and the US had been finalized and is scheduled to be formally signed in Switzerland on Friday.

According to the statement, the war on all fronts, including Lebanon, was to end immediately and permanently from Sunday night.

On February 28, the US and the Zionist regime began their latest round of unprovoked aggression against Iran.

During the American-Israeli aggression, which continued until April 7, Iranian armed forces carried out retaliatory operations against the aggressors’ interests, while also responding to Israeli violations of commitments in Lebanon.

The text of the MOU, which is based on Iran’s 14-point proposal presented at the outset of the ceasefire process, was reviewed repeatedly over the past 60 days in the capitals of both countries.

At various stages, Tehran and Washington each presented and outlined their respective positions on the text.

Despite all pressures, ceasefire violations, and repeated changes in Washington’s position, Iran maintained its stance.

Following the signing of the MOU, the two countries are expected to hold a series of intensive negotiations over the next 60 days in an effort to reach a comprehensive agreement on disputed issues.
