He said that the government'sdecision to proceed with an offensive emanates from its sovereign right to prevent the use of the port for admitting in Iranian-made arms to the coupist militia and to protect the international shipping routes.
He pointed out that the government declared two truces to give a chance to the United Nations special envoy's efforts for brokering a peaceful withdrawal of the militia from the city and the port, but the militia did not respond to the proposal and went ahead with the hostilities.
He stressed that the political leadership is keen to maintain the port operational in receiving commercial goods and humanitarian aid.
