The leader of Yemen’s Houthis, Abdel-Malik al-Houthi, has described the recently agreed ceasefire between the US and Iran as a “great victory” for Tehran and the so-called “axis of resistance”, a network of pro-Iran groups across the Middle East, Al Jazeera reports.
“The announcement of the ceasefire in and of itself is a great victory for the Islamic Republic in Iran, for the countries of the axis of resistance, for the Islamic nation, and for the free people of the world,” the Houthi-affiliated Al Masirah TV station has quoted al-Houthi as saying.
In a video statement, al-Houthi says that the war has helped restore deterrence in Iran’s strategic posture.
