Yemeni President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi

The Arab coalition — led by Saudi Arabia to confront the coup carried out by Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen — has succeeded in curtailing Tehran’s ambitions in the region, said Yemeni President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi.

During a meeting in the province of Marib with the executive, military, security leaders and party members, Hadi said the coalition, led by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman, “has restored the nation’s glory and foiled Iranian intervention.”

Hadi pledged not to allow Iran and its tools — the Houthis and the thugs supporting deposed President Abdullah Saleh — to achieve their goals.

He pointed out that the Houthi militia and Saleh’s men have expropriated cities and the resources of the state to serve foreign objectives and agenda.

He said: “We will not allow that, no matter how many sacrifices we have to make to defend the revolution, unity, freedom and justice.

He added: “We will not deviate from the hopes and aspirations of the Yemeni people to establish a federal, secure, just and stable country, where justice and equality prevail.”
