Ansar Allah political council member Mohammad al-Bukhaiti

The Saudi-led coalition's escalation comes as an act of revenge after the Sanaa forces and the Yemeni Army and Popular Committees made great strides, Ansar Allah Political Council Member Mohammad al-Bukhaiti, told Al Mayadeen on Thursday. He also underscored that the coalition's escalation would accelerate the path to a decisive victory.

"The escalation is usually expected as the battle nears an end," al-Bukhaiti added, asserting that its goal is to prevent the Yemeni army from achieving swift victory.

"Our operations on Saudi soil achieve their goal of deterring the aggression," al-Bukhaiti stressed, highlighting that their battle is becoming more offensive than defensive to liberate the occupied regions.

"We are still making advances in Marib," the senior official highlighted, affirming that the Yemeni forces were ready to make more sacrifices in line with the Saudi escalation.

Al-Bukhaiti also told Al Mayadeen the United States does not want the Gulf and the Axis of Resistance to mend their relations.
