The Yemeni revolutionary leaders made the remarks in a press conference on the latest Yemeni developments in Iran’s capital of Tehran on Wednesday, where they stressed that Saudi ports and economic centers are within the range of their missiles.
"We have an option to target all important ports and economic centers of Saudi Arabia, but we have not taken this option yet," Sheikh al-Matri, a Yemeni revolutionary leader told FNA on Wednesday.
Asked what the leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, and the movement’s spokesman, Muhammad Abdul Salam, meant when they said Yemen is ready to enter the strategic phase of their defensive war against the Saudi government, Sheikh al-Matri responded: "That is quite a right argument as the Saudi government has used all the cards, but the Yemeni revolutionaries have still not done so".
He said that the main winning card for the Yemeni people is public mobilization of the volunteer forces, targeting the major Saudi ports and economic centers, which have still not been played.
Meantime, Sadeq al-Sharafi, another Yemeni revolutionary leader, said Saudi Arabia claims to be supporting the legitimacy of a fugitive president, while "the Al Saud regime itself lacks legitimacy in Saudi Arabia".
Al Sharafi said that throughout the past 50 years, Yemen has always been witness to aggression and lingering wars of oppressive powers of the world and their regional allies.
