News - Yemen: Yemen’s Deputy Minister of Information Muhammad Mansour hailed the dismantling of a spy network linked to the Mossad and Western and Saudi intelligence as a major national achievement, saying the case exposes hostile foreign attempts to undermine Yemen’s political and jihadist trajectory.

Mansour warned that those found guilty will receive the maximum legal penalties and framed the operation as proof that Yemen now holds the initiative in both the battlefield and information war.

Mansour told Al‑Masirah that Yemen’s security services achieved a significant national success by exposing a spy ring tied to the Mossad and the intelligence services of the United States, Britain and Saudi Arabia. He described the plot as a desperate attempt to divert Yemen from its religious, political and jihadi course at a moment when Yemen has seized the initiative in both awareness and on the ground.

Mansour said the entanglement of the Mossad, US, British and Saudi intelligence in the network demonstrates the depth of fear toward Yemen’s growing faith, patriotism and struggle. 

He added that hostile parties tried to penetrate Yemen’s security by equipping agents with advanced devices and techniques, but that the vigilance of Sana'a’s security apparatus and the leadership’s awareness thwarted their plans.

Quoting the leader of the revolution, Sayyed Abdulmalik, Mansour said: “When the Yemeni people turn challenges into opportunities, aggression becomes fuel for cohesion and military and security development.” 

He added that Yemen turned the siege into a renewable source of energy that mobilized popular will and capabilities, and that the country’s security system today is as strong and smart as its military, giving Yemen a credible deterrent to protect its sovereignty and vital interests.

Mansour stressed that anyone proven to have taken part in the espionage networks will face the severest punishments under the law, calling the matter one that strikes at national security and the dignity of the martyrs. He warned that holding spies to account sends a clear message to anyone who contemplates betraying the homeland or conspiring against the people.

Turning to regional implications, Mansour questioned the role of Arab regimes run from US and Israeli intelligence centers, arguing that their security establishments cannot be unaware of such intelligence activity on their soil. He confirmed Saudi Arabia role of acting as a cover for US and Israeli operations against the “axis of resistance,” and characterized the crisis as an existential struggle between the nation and its enemies.

Mansour affirmed that the Yemeni people stand united behind their revolutionary and political leadership — including Sayyed Abdulmalik al‑Houthi, and President Mahdi al‑Mashat — describing Yemenis as a single bloc of awareness, faith and courage. 

He condemned the economic siege imposed on Yemen as a multifaceted crime comparable in severity to military warfare and accused Saudi Arabia of waging an economic and media war against Yemen.

Mansour called for a comprehensive dialogue with Saudi Arabia over the Yemen file and insisted that Yemen possesses the political, legal and media cards to impose its just vision. He warned Riyadh to close this chapter immediately, stressing that Yemen is a nation of faith and steadfastness, not an easy target. 

He concluded by reiterating Yemen’s resolve to defend its sovereignty and dignity, vowing that traitors and spies will not escape punishment and that every attempt at espionage or blockade will only strengthen the Yemeni people’s resolve.

Yemen’s exposure of a sophisticated spy network linked to the Mossad, US, British, and Saudi intelligence highlights the persistent threat posed by the Israeli enemy and its allies to Yemeni sovereignty, national security, and regional stability.

The network’s attempts to infiltrate Yemen’s military, political, and security institutions, recruit citizens, and gather intelligence demonstrate the high stakes in the ongoing struggle between Yemen and foreign adversaries. 

The case underscores Yemen’s growing capacity to defend its sovereignty, turn challenges into strategic advantages, and assert its role as a resilient state in confronting espionage, foreign aggression, and economic warfare.
