TEHRAN (FNA)- Senior member of Ansarullah movement's Political Council
Mohammad al-Bakhiti warned that the movement will give a crushing response
to any possible ground invasion of Yemen.

"Any ground attack on Yemen will receive a rigidly harsh response,"
al-Bakhiti said on Sunday.

"We have not responded to the Saudi aggressions in the past five days
because we wanted to allow the Arab countries to reconsider their action and
stop their attacks," he said, and added "but from now on everything will be
different".

Al-Bakhiti described the Saudi-led alliance against Yemen as a moral crisis,
and said, "Whatever the Arab conference decided about Yemen will end in
serious crisis."

He underlined that the Yemeni people have confidence in their resistance and
are confident that they will win.

On Saturday, a senior member of the popular Ansarullah movement warned of
immediate attacks on Saudi territories if the latter refrains from putting
an immediate halt to its aggression against Yemen.

"As the Ansarullah movement has promised collapse of some Arab regimes
supporting the terrorists, if Saudi Arabia continues its aggressions against
the oppressed Yemeni people the Ansarullah fighters will pave the way for
the Saudi regime's destruction by conducting martyrdom-seeking (suicidal)
operations inside Saudi Arabia in the coming hours," member of Ansarullah
Executive Committee Abdel Mon'em Al-Qurashi told FNA.

He reiterated that Israel and Al Saud are on the same front and Saudi Arabia
is taking orders from Washington and Tel Aviv.

"The main cause of the Saudi aggression is the failure of Riyadh's policies
in support of fugitive Yemeni President Mansour Hadi and Takfiri groups and
its disappointment at them," Al-Qurashi added.

He reiterated that the Yemeni army and people will give a crushing response
to the Saudi aggressors.

Saudi Arabia has been striking Yemen for four days now, killing, at least,
60 civilians and injuring hundreds more.

Five Persian Gulf States -- Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE),
Bahrain, Qatar and Kuwait -- and Egypt that are also assisted by Israel and
backed by the US have declared war on Yemen in a joint statement issued
earlier Thursday.

US President Barack Obama authorized the provision of logistical and
intelligence support to the military operations, National Security Council
Spokesperson Bernadette Meehan said late Wednesday night.

She added that while US forces were not taking direct military action in
Yemen, Washington was establishing a Joint Planning Cell with Saudi Arabia
to coordinate US military and intelligence support.

Riyadh claimed that it has bombed the positions of the Ansarullah fighters
and launched attacks against the Sana'a airport and the Dulaimi airbase.

Despite Riyadh's claims that it is attacking Ansarullah positions, Saudi
warplanes have flattened a number of homes near Sana’a international
airport.
