Yahya Saree

Yahya Qasim Saree (; born 1970) is a Yemeni military officer who serves as the spokesperson for the Supreme Political Council-led Yemeni Armed Forces, a renegade faction of Yemen's armed forces aligned with Ansar Allah. He frequently appears in military statements made by the Yemeni Armed Forces, most notably on the attacks targeting Israel-linked vessels passing through the Red Sea and Bab-el-Mandeb Strait.

His statements are broadcast primarily via Al-Masirah TV, his Telegram channel, and his Twitter accounts. He earned a bachelor's and master's degree in political science and has also taken combat, security, administrative and specialised courses in military science.

On 3 May 2024, Saree announced in a televised speech that "we will target any ships heading to Israeli ports in the Mediterranean Sea in any area we are able to reach."

Media presence His statements are broadcast primarily via Al-Masirah TV, his Telegram channel, and his Twitter accounts. Following the suspension, Saree accused Twitter of aligning with the "forces of aggression" and attempting to "silence mouths that expose them and reveal their crimes." He later announced the creation of a new Arabic-language account.

In 2024, Twitter removed the blue "Verified" badges from several Houthi-affiliated accounts, including Saree's Arabic and English profiles, as well as those of Hussein Al-Ezzi, the Houthi government's deputy foreign affairs minister, and the Al-Masirah media network. The removal came shortly after the U.S. redesignated the Houthis as a terrorist organization, which also led to the suspension of several related accounts. Houthi officials denounced the move, calling it a "violation of all human rights conventions." After being reinstated and amassing approximately 121,500 followers, Saree's account was suspended again in 2026.

A multi-volume book series titled The Spokesman has been published by the Department of Moral Guidance of the Yemeni Armed Forces, compiling Saree's official statements and press conferences. The first volume covered the period from October 17, 2018, to October 17, 2019. A second volume was issued on November 28, 2022, documenting activities from October 18, 2019, to May 30, 2022. The third volume was published on April 15, 2025, focusing on Saree's announcements during the "Promised Victory and Holy Jihad" campaign in support of Gaza.

In July 2025, a photograph of Saree was used as the cover art for the album APLOMB by Argentine electronic artist modest by default.
