Reference News Network, March 20 report: According to the RT website on March 19, Muhammad Al-Buhaiti, a member of the political bureau of the Houthi group, said that if war breaks out in the Middle East, the Houthis will only target aggressor countries and will not affect neutral countries such as Russia.
He said that the organization does not advocate war, but will engage in combat if necessary.
In an interview with RIA Novosti, he said: "We will only target aggressors. If other countries maintain a neutral position, we will not touch them."
Al-Buhaiti pointed out that since the escalation of the situation in the Red Sea region in November 2023, the Houthis' targets have been limited to Israel, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
He added that operations against Israel are aimed at pressuring it to end military operations in the Gaza Strip and lift the humanitarian blockade.
Previously, it was reported that the Houthis did not rule out the possibility of intervening in the current Middle East conflict, but has not yet participated in military actions against the United States and Israel. (Translated by Zhao Zhipeng)
