A senior official of Yemen’s Ansarallah resistance movement has said the group is fully coordinating with Iran and its allies as the conflict in the region continues to escalate. The statement came as fighting between Iran, the United States, and Israel has entered another tense phase, raising fears that more countries could become involved.
In an interview with Iran’s Press TV, Ansarallah political bureau member Mohammed al-Bukhaiti confirmed that a decision has already been made to support Iran if the conflict intensifies. He said Yemen’s participation in the conflict is “only a matter of time,” stressing that countries within the so-called resistance axis are closely coordinating their actions.
“Our hands are on the trigger,” al-Bukhaiti said, repeating earlier remarks by Ansarallah leader Sayyed Abdulmalik al-Houthi. Al-Bukhaiti explained that the movement is closely monitoring the situation and is ready to act against what he called aggressors.
He also defended Iran’s retaliatory strikes against American military assets in the region, saying Tehran has the right to target bases used to launch attacks against it. “All the accusations previously leveled against Iran have collapsed today,” al-Bukhaiti said. “The truth of Iran’s position in support of the nation’s causes has become clear to everyone.”

He called on countries across the Middle East to unite and strongly condemn what he described as American aggression. According to al-Bukhaiti, regional states should stand alongside Iran during the confrontation. The Ansarallah official warned that the conflict is not limited to Iran and could affect many Arab and Islamic countries.
He said the war had been forced upon them and insisted that the confrontation would continue until their conditions were accepted. Al-Bukhaiti also warned Persian Gulf countries about what he described as Washington’s strategy in the region.
He claimed that the United States is trying to draw regional states into a wider war against Iran. Calling the situation a decisive battle, he said the outcome would determine the future balance of power in the region.
The current conflict began after a major escalation between Iran, Israel, and the United States, which started during indirect nuclear negotiations between Tehran and Washington. The confrontation has now continued for more than two weeks, with no clear end in sight.
During the early phase of the conflict, several senior Iranian military figures were killed, leading to a strong response from Iran. In retaliation, Iranian armed forces launched multiple waves of attacks under what they called Operation True Promise 4.
According to reports, the operation targeted Israeli military sites in the occupied territories as well as US military bases across the region. The continuing escalation has raised concerns that the conflict could expand further if additional groups or countries decide to intervene.
