Sanaa, August 19 (RHC)-- A new report has revealed that the United States has been seeking to fragment Yemen geographically, sow division and create instability in the Arab country, following the release of new confessions from members of a U.S.-Israeli spy network which was dismantled in the capital Sana’a in June.
Al Mayadeen, citing an unnamed Yemeni source, reported over the weekend that the confessions exposed “American conspiracies on the political level through reproducing crises and escalating them in Yemen.”
The source went on to say that the confessions revealed that Washington turned the previous Yemeni government into "a puppet under its control" and manipulated political affairs to serve U.S. interests.
According to the source, the spy network exposed the US conspiratorial role against the 2011 revolution, admitting that Washington aimed to undermine the Yemeni national dialogue to push through its dangerous agenda of restructuring Yemen’s state and constitution.
The source further stressed that if it were not for the role of the Ansarullah resistance movement, Yemen would be in a much worse situation today.
The confessions also revealed that Washington was behind Saudi Arabia’s aggression against Yemen in March 2015, which killed over 150,000 people, mostly civilians, and created one of the world’s worst humanitarian disasters, the effects of which are still visible and vivid.
Back in June, Yemen’s security authorities said they had dismantled an American-Israeli espionage network operating within the Arab country, delivering a significant blow to attempts aimed at undermining the Yemeni government institutions
Security authorities said the U.S.-Israeli-led espionage network, active since 2015, had recruited officials within the Yemeni government to influence decision-makers and infiltrate state agencies.
The network had provided intelligence to the U.S. and Israeli militaries to help them hit the Yemeni infrastructure used to target Israeli and US-linked ships in regional waters, they added.
The revelations come as Yemen is carrying out a series of extensive military operations against Israel, the US and Britain as part of a campaign to support the people of Gaza in the face of an Israeli aggression that has killed more than 40,000 people in the Palestinian territory since it started in October last year.
Yemen first started targeting Israeli-linked ships and Israeli ports in November but drone and missile attacks expanded later to cover US and British ships after the two countries launched airstrikes on Yemen to force it to stop its anti-Israeli operations.
