Mohammed Abdulsalam, head of Sana’a’s negotiating delegation and official spokesperson for the Ansar Allah (Houthi) movement, has announced the permission to tow the Greek oil tanker “Sounion,” which was targeted and set ablaze in the Red Sea last week.
In a statement published on his account on the “X” platform, Abdulsalam said, “After communication with several international parties, particularly Europeans, we have allowed them to tow the burning oil tanker Sounion.”
He added, “We affirm that the burning of the Sounion oil tanker is an example of Yemen’s seriousness in targeting any vessel that violates the Yemeni ban, which prohibits the passage of any ship to the ports of occupied Palestine, in order to pressure the Zionist entity to stop its aggression against Gaza.”
Abdulsalam also emphasized, “All shipping companies associated with the Zionist enemy must understand that their vessels will remain vulnerable to Yemeni strikes wherever the Yemeni armed forces can reach them, until the aggression stops and the siege on Gaza is lifted.”
