President Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar confirmed, on Monday, that the Houthi militia had completely destroyed the Stockholm Agreement (signed under the auspices of the United Nations in December 2018), but he avoided declaring a position on the side of legitimacy in return.

 Al-Ahmar considered, during his meeting with the Chief of Staff, Lieutenant-General Saghir bin Aziz, that the Houthi militia blew up the agreement, "a clear Houthi disregard for all international efforts and agreements aimed at bringing lasting peace and ending the suffering of the Yemeni people," without giving an indication that legitimacy may withdraw from the agreement in return.  

Mohsen also admitted that the Houthi militia, with Iranian support and guidance, took advantage of the Stockholm Agreement - which halted the battle to liberate Hodeidah after the joint forces arrived inside the city - to mobilize and escalate, before seeking to eliminate it completely, according to the Yemeni news agency Saba.

 Al-Ahmar pointed to the continuous escalation of the Houthi coup militia and its attacks on cities, civilians and the displaced, its launching of ballistic missiles and drones on Yemeni areas and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a threat to international navigation and the killing of women and children, in practices he said "all fall under punishable war crimes."

He pointed out that the unity and solidarity of Yemenis and the renunciation of all causes of division and disagreement and the tendency to combat this Iranian priestly danger has become a matter required by the current moment and the necessities of the supreme national interest.

 In turn, the Chief of Staff affirmed that Iran's subversive project in Yemen is greedy to come to an end, noting the heroism of the army, the resistance, the tribesmen and the sincere fraternal support of the brothers in the coalition to support legitimacy led by Saudi Arabia.
