MNA � A senior adviser to Iran�s Leader expressed condolences over the martyrdom of a key Yemeni figure, noting that the Yemeni revolution has entered a new phase of achievements.

Ali Akbar Velayati offered his condolences over the martyrdom of Ibrahim al-Houthi in a message to his brother, the leader of Ansarollah Houthi Abdul-Malik al-Houthi.

�Saudi mercenaries martyred this soldier while the Yemeni revolution has entered a new phase of achievements and victories,� reads the message.

�Surely, the martyrdom of this revolutionary warrior gives hope of more victories for Yemeni revolutionary people and continuation of humiliating defeats for the belligerent coalition led by Saudis.�

�Enemies of the Islamic Ummah and Yemeni people should know that martyrdom doesn�t obstruct fulfilling aims and wishes of Islamic nations, rather it is the ultimate wish of Islamic warriors in the fight against the arrogant,� Velayati added.

He went on to highlight that �martyrdom of such fighters will further boost the Resistance Front and make the Yemeni revolution stronger.�

In a statement on Friday, the Houthis� Interior Ministry blamed the killing of a brother of the leader of Ansarallah movement on �the treacherous hands affiliated with the US-Israeli aggression and its tools.�

Yemeni sources reported that al-Houthi's body, along with a number of Houthi commanders, had been discovered in a house following a Saudi strike in the city of Haddeh in Yemen's west-central province of Sana�a.
