        "content": "<p>The Yemeni government has affirmed its commitment to cooperating with\nthe Saudi-led coalition and international partners to counter threats\nand protect vital waterways amid rising tensions with the Houthi group.\nIn a statement on social media platform X on Saturday, Chairman of\nYemen\u2019s Presidential Leadership Council Rashad al-Alimi said the\ncooperation also focuses on tackling terrorism, smuggling and organised\ncrime. \u201cThis is a national responsibility and an unwavering commitment\nto the security of Yemen, the region and global peace,\u201d Al-Alimi said.\nAl-Alimi accused the Houthi group and its backers of undermining\nde-escalation opportunities. He assessed that such actions deliberately\ndrag the country into successive crises to serve the Iranian regime\u2019s\nagenda. He stressed that the Yemeni people\u2019s aspirations to build a\ndignified and stable state would never be a bargaining chip. According\nto him, the Houthi group has no choice but to comply with the will of\nthe people. \u201cThe continued escalation only wastes time and drains\nYemen\u2019s resources without in any way weakening the public\u2019s resolve to\nend the coup and restore state authority,\u201d Al-Alimi asserted. The\nstatement came following confirmation that the Saudi-led coalition had\nlaunched proportional military strikes against Houthi targets in\nAl-Hudayda province as a form of protection for transiting vessels. The\nmove was taken after the Houthis threatened to ban Saudi-affiliated\nshipping in the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.<\/p>",
