Hezbollah condemns ‘unjust’ US decision to blacklist Yemen’s Ansarullah
The Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah has denounced as “unjust” the US government’s decision to re-designate Yemen's Ansarullah resistance movement as a terrorist organization, describing it as a “direct attack” on the oppressed Yemeni people.
Hezbollah made the remarks in a statement on Saturday, after US President Donald Trump blacklisted Yemen’s Ansarullah movement as a terrorist organization earlier in the week.
"This is an unjust act and a direct attack on the oppressed Yemeni people, who have suffered and continue to suffer from the siege, terrorism and continuous aggression of the US,” Hezbollah said.
“Successive US governments that have committed and continue to commit terrorism against nations and support the Zionist regime and its aggression and wars, especially in Lebanon and Palestine, deserve to be included in the terrorism list," it added.
The Lebanese resistance group went on to say that this “unjust decision” by the US is within the framework of supporting the Israeli regime, stressing that it will never stop the Yemenis from continuing to support the Palestinian people.
Hezbollah further hailed Ansarullah for supporting Gaza, saying it “played a great role in strengthening the stability of the Palestinian resistance and was its partner in defeating the Zionist enemy, and this nation will continue the path of resistance.”
Trump on Wednesday officially re-designated Ansarullah as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO), returning the movement to the same status it held at the end of his first administration.
He also threatened to mobilize Washington's regional proxies against Yemen in an attempt to pressure the Yemeni people to abandon their support for Gaza.
The designation came in response to the Yemeni army’s military operations on Israeli-occupied territories, and assaults on US Navy warships and Israel-linked vessels in the region since November 2023, launched in support of Palestinians being massacred by Israel in the blockaded Palestinian territory.
Nasr al-Din Amer, the deputy head of Ansarullah’s press service, has said that the United States classification of Ansarullah as a terrorist organization will ultimately fail, just like their attempts to confront the group at sea which have ended in defeat.
