Lenderking Rejects Houthi Threats, Calls for Yemeni Dialogue Support
US Special Envoy for Yemen Tim Lenderking dismissed Houthi threats of escalating military action and targeting neighboring countries and their vital installations, notably Saudi Arabia. The diplomat also addressed the severe threats of targeting US naval forces and called for bolstering efforts to achieve a cessation of hostilities and engaging in Yemeni dialogue. In statements to Al-Arabiya channel, the US envoy emphasized that “this is a time for dialogue, not a time for any party to threaten others,” urging Houthis to refrain from using a “language of threats.”
