Yemen’s government has signaled its readiness to resume oil operations, a move that could help stabilize a key regional supply route if security conditions allow. Dr. Mohammed Bamqaa, the country’s Minister of Oil and Minerals, stated that the administration is prepared to restart exports, which had been suspended due to ongoing instability.
The previous halt in shipments severely disrupted government functions and delayed public sector salaries, creating urgent pressure to restore revenue streams.
Bamqaa emphasized that a robust security plan is a prerequisite for any operational restart.

The minister indicated that the government is working to counter threats from Houthi forces, which have repeatedly targeted energy infrastructure in the region.
Without guaranteed safety for facilities and transport routes, the resumption of exports remains conditional and fragile.
The development comes against a backdrop of heightened tensions.
