A Houthi official said Tuesday that the Egyptian parliament\u2019s decision to authorise military support for Saudi Arabia to defend against the Iran-backed group\u2019s attacks was a declaration of war.<\/p>\n

The comment was part of a long statement reacting to a Monday visit to Tehran by the Saudi defence minister, alongside Pakistan\u2019s army chief and Turkey\u2019s intelligence chief, in a bid to de-escalate tensions in the Middle East war.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is truly remarkable that while these people go to discuss what they call \u2018peace in the region\u2019, Egypt and its parliament declare support for the so-called defence of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and in doing so, declare war against the Republic of Yemen,\u201d said Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, a member of the Houthis\u2019 political bureau, in a Telegram post.<\/p>\n

Saudi Defence Minister Khalid bin Salman, Pakistan\u2019s army chief General Asim Munir and Turkey\u2019s intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin attended the talks with Mohsen Rezaei, head of Iran\u2019s Supreme National Security Council.<\/p>\n

They also met Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.<\/p>\n

Iran, Pakistan and Turkey recently signed a Nato-style defence pact in Mecca that says an attack on one country is to be considered an attack on all three.<\/p>\n

But since the Houthis ramped up attacks on Saudi Arabia earlier this month, the two other countries have not announced any strikes on the group.<\/p>\n

Al-Houthi said the pact was \u201ca clear and blatant act of aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran\u201d, adding that the group was \u201cnot afraid of any alliance that may be formed\u201d.<\/p>\n

In July, Yemen\u2019s conflict flared up again as a fragile 2022 truce fell apart after the Houthis allowed an Iranian plane to land in Yemen\u2019s capital Sanaa, in defiance of Saudi control over Yemeni airspace, setting off a spate of attacks.<\/p>\n

The Houthis then declared a maritime blockade of Saudi Arabia and began hitting its ships, territory and oil facilities, before launching a major offensive in September in which they seized Yemeni government-held territory along the Red Sea coast.<\/p>\n

In response, the Houthis have reported frequent Saudi strikes targeting areas under their control.<\/p>\n

In October, the Houthis ramped up their attacks on Saudi Arabia, forcing the cancellation of flagship events and a shutdown of Riyadh airport for two weeks.<\/p>\n
