- Story Text: Yemeni citizens condemned on Sunday (March 1) the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, in U.S. and Israeli strikes on Tehran the day before.
"We will not forget our great martyrs, but we will walk in their path," Aref al-Amiry said in Yemeni capital Sanaa.
EU maritime mission Eunavfor Aspides advised the shipping industry on Saturday (February 28) to remain vigilant and said attacks on ships could not be ruled out following U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran.
Aspides said in a statement, sources had said Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi militants threatened to launch new attacks against Israel and U.S. ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, adding it was ready to help protect lives at sea.
Israel said it launched a broad wave of strikes in central Tehran on Sunday and was seeking to dominate the skies over the capital, after its air force killed Iran's supreme leader in a large-scale assault that has raised fears of widening instability in the Middle East.
Over the past day Israel's air force conducted strikes to open the "path to Tehran," and the Israeli military said the majority of aerial defence systems in western and central Iran had been dismantled.
