A senior official from Yemen’s Ansar Allah movement has dismissed the prospect of international diplomacy restoring Venezuela’s ousted president, arguing that only direct pressure on U.S. interests could alter the situation. The comments come amid heightened tensions following Washington’s decisive actions against the Venezuelan government.
Mohammed al-Farrah, a member of Ansar Allah’s political bureau, said Venezuelans should not expect the United Nations or international condemnation to reinstate President Nicolas Maduro. According to al-Farrah, statements and denunciations would be ineffective in reversing U.S. actions. Writing on the social media platform X, he claimed that Maduro would not return unless the United States felt its strategic interests were under direct threat.
Al-Farrah argued that such pressure would require Venezuela to demonstrate the capability to endanger U.S. warships and vessels, alongside mass mobilization of the Venezuelan population and a sustained posture of hostility toward Washington. He framed this approach as a lesson drawn from Yemen’s own confrontation with the United States, describing that experience as a model for other nations facing U.S. pressure.
In separate remarks, Ansar Allah’s political bureau strongly condemned U.S. actions in Venezuela, accusing Washington of aggression and reaffirming its support for Maduro. The group said the developments once again showed what it described as America’s role as a source of global instability, while praising Maduro for resisting what it called U.S. hegemony.
