Yemen is warning the US that if it proceeds with its reported plan to invade the western Yemeni port of Al Hudaydah, it will face consequences that are far worse than the dire situation it faced during the Vietnam War, where tens of thousands American soldiers were killed.

Jamal Ahmed Ali Amer, the foreign minister of Yemen’s National Salvation Government, sounded the warning in a post on X on Monday.

He said the US administration had begun leaking information about an alleged plan it was seeking to try to force Yemen to cease its pro-Palestinian operations against Israeli and related targets.

According to Amer, Washington began to disclose this information after it failed to implement all-out efforts to harm the country of the Arabian Peninsula.

However, he warned that “if they (the US) act rashly, hell in Vietnam will be just a walk in the park.”

“Free people do not bend the knee, and the American regime is not a ruler at the behest of God,” Amer concluded.

Yemen’s armed forces have carried out hundreds of strikes against targets located in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, as well as Israeli ships and ships heading to or from the territories, since October last year, when the Israeli regime began waging a genocidal war in the Gaza Strip with the full support of by the US and its allies.

The US and UK tried to force Sanaa to cease operations by bombing targets throughout Yemen.

More recently, American and British warplanes bombed Sanaa and the northwestern city of Saada 15 times, with the US military using its B-2 stealth bombers to carry out the aggression.

However, Yemeni forces have said they will not stop their strikes until Israel’s unrelenting ground and air offensives on the Gaza Strip end.
