Yemen’s Foreign Minister Speaks With Reason2Resist

In August 2025, Israel murdered Yemen’s Prime Minister and several other members of his cabinet, including Yemen’s Foreign Minister.

Shortly after the assassinations, Abdulwahid Abu Ras was appointed as Yemen’s acting Foreign Minister. He has remained in that position since then.

On April 25, 2026, Foreign Minister Abu Ras sat down for an exclusive, wide-ranging interview with Dimitri Lascaris.

The Foreign Minister and Dimitri discussed the possible closure of the Bab al-Mandab Strait by Yemeni forces, the strategic defeat of Israel, the expulsion of U.S. forces from the region of West Asia, and the damage that Saudi Arabia will suffer if it enters the war directly against Iran.
