It instructed the Ministries of Transport and Fisheries and the leadership of the Governor of Al-Mahrah, in coordination with the relevant authorities, to prepare a comprehensive scientific study on the site and the dangerous effects of the occupiers’ takeover of the port of Qishn.

For its part, "Any economic escalation has no meaning other than obstructing any progress in resolving the humanitarian and economic issue," the member of the National Delegation Abdulmalik Al-Ejri said.

The Leader of the Revolution, Sayyed Abdulmalik al-Houthi, had confirmed in his recent speech that any escalatory steps taken by the coalition of aggression in the economic or military aspect, would be met with a strong and influential move.

The head of the National Delegation, Mohammed Abdulsalam, confirmed that any economic escalation would "turn the tables" and lead to dire consequences.

These assurances come in light of increasing indications that the truce renewal negotiations have reached a dead end. That is because of the intransigence of the US-Saudi aggression in exchange for low indicators of achieving real progress.

Al-Ejri clarified that any economic escalation would be a trend "contrary to the efforts and objectives of the intensive meetings that took place in the past weeks."

A high-ranking Omani delegation visited the capital Sana'a last weekend and held constructive negotiations with the Leader of Revolution Sayyed Abdulmalik Al-Houthi, President Mahdi Al-Mashat, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mohammad Abdulkarim al-Ghamari.
