Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi terror group says it is ready to intervene militarily in the US-Israeli war with Iran under certain conditions, including if new allies join the US and Israel or if the Red Sea is used to launch attacks on Iran.
Military spokesperson Yahya Saree makes the remarks in a televised speech.
“We affirm that our fingers are on the trigger for direct military intervention,” he says.
