A number of Yemeni officials and parliamentarians have confirmed that Houthi militias chose to be part of the Iranian project in Yemen and the region to destroy them. They explained in statements that Houthi militias had committed atrocious crimes against the cadres and leaders of the General People's Congress after the killing of former President Ali Abdullah Saleh and against all the Yemeni people. They stressed the importance of standing behind the Arab coalition to support the legitimacy in Yemen led by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, maintaining Arab and regional national security and preserving Yemen from Iranian hegemony with its arm of Houthi militias. They welcomed rapid victories of the Yemeni army and the popular resistance against these militias in all Yemeni provinces and on all fronts, stressing that Yemen will return soon to its Gulf, Arab and Islamic ranks.
