[00:00:00] New news channel, the truth has arrived.
[00:00:02] 。
[00:00:12] This is China Central Television News
[00:00:15] Channel.
[00:00:34] The Saudi capital Riyadh airport was repeatedly attacked, and the war was urgent.
[00:00:38] The Houthi conflict with Saudi Arabia will it escalate
[00:00:42] further? Four Middle Eastern countries jointly condemned the Houthis, and Iran came
[00:00:45] forward to mediate. Can the regional situation turn a corner? The White House said
[00:00:49] it might join actions against the Houthis. Multiple forces are deeply intertwined.
[00:00:53] Where will this local conflict ultimately lead? Please
[00:00:57] watch Global Vision.
[00:01:27] At the same time, the domestic war continues.
[00:02:12] This is the second consecutive day of Houthi attacks on the airport.
[00:02:16] On the 10th, Houthi armed forces attacked a terminal building at the airport.
[00:02:19] Media released surveillance footage from inside the airport on the 11th. The video shows
[00:02:23] passengers lining up to go through security and check-in.
[00:02:27] An explosion suddenly occurred.
[00:02:31] Videos from other angles show more clearly that
[00:02:33] 。
[00:02:43] This attack resulted in 12 deaths and 309 injuries. The Saudi Arabian General Authority of Civil Aviation
[00:02:47] issued a statement on social media on the 12th, stating that it would continue to suspend operations at King
[00:02:51] Khalid International Airport until the 17th, after completing necessary
[00:02:55] inspection work. A report by the British Financial Times stated that due to recent events,
[00:02:59] 近 期 局 影 响 。
[00:04:31] issued a joint statement, strongly condemning the Houthi armed forces' attack on Saudi Arabia, and demanded that the organization
[00:04:35] immediately and unconditionally cease such attacks. According to foreign media reports,
[00:04:39] as part of the Mecca Defense Alliance, Pakistan has confirmed
[00:04:43] the deployment of ground troops in Saudi Arabia.
[00:04:47] The country's military spokesperson for the very first time has confirmed that
[00:04:51] Pakistan has deployed its troops on the ground
[00:04:55] in Saudi Arabia. He did not
[00:04:57] reveal much details about the number of troops
[00:05:00] involved and where are they being deployed or what sort of military
[00:05:04] assistance Pakistan is providing to Saudi
[00:05:08] Arabia as Islamabad believes that it's a
[00:05:11] matter of operational.
[00:05:15] On the other hand, Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi called Saudi
[00:05:19] Foreign Minister Faisal on the 11th.
[00:05:42] Just now, we also introduced to you through a short video that in recent days, the Houthi armed
[00:05:46] forces in Yemen have launched attacks on multiple airports in Saudi Arabia, especially
[00:05:50] Riyadh International Airport, which has had a very significant impact, causing major casualties.
[00:05:54] Why have the Houthi armed forces been repeatedly
[00:05:58] attacking Riyadh International Airport in recent days? King
[00:06:01] Khalid International Airport in Riyadh is one of the most important
[00:06:05] airports in Saudi Arabia. Its area is very
[00:06:08] large, and its area should be ranked among the largest in the world.
[00:06:42] Now, Saudi Arabia happens to be in a period due to the local
[00:06:46] climate, generally from October
[00:06:50] to the end of the year and early next year, which is a golden season.
[00:06:54] Generally, major international activities are arranged during these three months.
[00:07:05] Arabia, this series of major international activities.
[00:07:08] 。
[00:07:42] Samer Davos. This is one of the most
[00:07:46] important international investment promotion conferences in Saudi Arabia. Then
[00:07:50] in November, there will also be the United Nations World Data
[00:07:53] Forum and so on. At the end of the year, there will also be a series of international
[00:07:57] sports competitions, including those in Asia, and so on. So, these
[00:08:01] airport attacks, especially the closure, have severely
[00:08:05] affected Saudi Arabia's political reputation, including a series
[00:08:08] of its related issues.
[00:09:17] More importantly, after more than ten years of war, coupled with external support, it has formed
[00:09:21] its own copycat military-industrial system.
[00:09:24] Although the quality is not very high, it is very practical and
[00:09:28] effective, and the cost is low. The key is that it works. So,
[00:09:32] its important symbol of effectiveness is that it can
[00:09:36] launch attacks all over Saudi Arabia. Not only missiles, but also drones.
[00:09:40] So, I
[00:10:14] The report says that the Saudi royal family is now being equipped with these underground fortifications and is being transferred
[00:10:17] between power plants. And it says that the Saudi military has now adjusted its military
[00:10:21] deployment, with the focus on protecting the king's key energy facilities.
[00:11:55] So now the Houthis are also targeting
[00:11:59] King Khalid International Airport, which has caused a large
[00:12:02] number of casualties. So, I think
[00:12:06] both sides attacking airports, ports, and civilian facilities
[00:12:10] is actually aimed at achieving this goal, which is that
[00:12:14] for Saudi Arabia, it wants to cut off the connection between the Yemeni Houthi armed
[00:12:59] flight was carrying important strategic weapons, so
[00:13:03] they attacked the airport to prevent it from landing. This is what triggered it. You
[00:13:06] can imagine. In fact, for a long time, Saudi Arabia has been
[00:13:10] blockading the Yemeni Houthis. Although
[00:13:13] in 2022, the two sides reached a de facto
[00:13:16] ceasefire, which eased some of the blockade. But, Yemen,
[00:13:20] the Yemeni Houthi armed forces, through Hodeidah Port,
[00:13:23] 个 赫 台 达 港 。
[00:14:35] stored some original inventory, mainly in terms of attack shells and some equipment. This can now be used on the Houthis, and also provided in large quantities to the Yemeni government. The third is that last month, that is to say, it became a reality last month, the US
[00:15:41] it needs a complete process, this is one thing. Second, both Pakistan and Turkey attach great importance to their relationship with Saudi Arabia.
[00:15:44] Although they attach great importance to their relationship with Saudi Arabia,
[00:15:48] politically, their statements are all in place, and
[00:15:52] they have also taken some military actions, such as Pakistan, which has sent
[00:15:56] ground troops. And Pakistan has had a military presence in Saudi
[00:15:59] Arabia for decades, especially many Pakistani pilots in the Saudi
[00:16:03] Air Force. Turkey can provide what it is good at.
[00:16:29] It does not mean that the air forces of Pakistan and Turkey can participate in the attack on the Houthi armed forces, but Pakistan
[00:16:33] said that I am now what? The enemy of Saudi Arabia is
[00:16:37] me.
[00:18:07] So the Houthis are Iran's proxy. He supports
[00:18:11] the Houthis, so Saudi Arabia's trust in him is, is wavering.
[00:18:15] And also, how much control does Iran have over the Houthis?
[00:18:18] I personally believe that Iran's control over the Houthis is insufficient.
[00:18:22] The Houthis are mainly self-sufficient.
[00:18:26] Hmm, outside of diplomatic mediation, the ground
[00:18:30] war in Yemen is still ongoing. How will the struggle for the Bab el-Mandeb Strait
[00:18:34] and Taiz develop? Will the US intervene again?
[00:19:38] Time magazine commented that the United States is cautiously weighing
[00:19:41] whether to directly participate in the war. The report believes that the US has multiple
[00:19:45] concerns: first, domestic political factors. The midterm elections are
[00:19:49] very close, and most American people are unwilling to get involved in the Middle East war.
[00:19:53] Rash actions could jeopardize election prospects. Second, the risk
[00:19:57] of conflict spillover. If shipping in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait is blocked, the global
[00:20:01] oil crisis will further intensify. It is worth noting
[00:20:04] that Saudi Arabia had twice on September 10th
[00:20:12] Trump asked the US military to attack the Houthi armed forces, but it was rejected. On the other hand, Israeli news reported on the 12th that after the Riyadh airport
[00:20:16] attack, US officials and Israeli Chief of Staff Zamir
[00:20:19] discussed the possibility of the Israeli military launching an attack on the Houthi armed forces.
[00:20:23] The report said that given the approaching US midterm elections, the US hopes
[00:20:27] to avoid direct involvement in the conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Houthi armed forces. But
[00:20:31] Zamir warned that if the Israeli military directly launched an attack, it could trigger
[00:20:35] further conflict with the Houthi armed forces,
[00:20:37] and even lead to a renewed escalation of tensions with Iran, forcing Israel
[00:20:41] to postpone the general election scheduled for October 27th.
[00:20:44] Some argue that this local conflict, which was originally limited to two countries and three parties,
[00:20:48] 冲 突 。
[00:21:20] The armed forces and Saudi Arabia, as well as the Yemeni government
[00:21:23] army, the entire battlefield situation is in a state of entanglement,
[00:21:27] which means there are attacks and defenses, but in the past day or two, it seems that the Houthi armed forces have gained
[00:21:31] the upper hand again. Now, their superiority is manifested on two
[00:21:35] fronts. One is now on the Taiz front, and it has
[00:21:39] largely formed a siege of Taiz. Taiz
[00:21:42] is a mountainous highland, and it can move east
[00:21:46] to seize the Ma'rib oil field,
[00:21:50] and then advance south towards Aden, and to the southwest
[00:21:54] it can support operations along the coast,
[00:21:57] that is, to support the Bab el-Mandeb Strait front. Now,
[00:22:01] along the coast, the Houthi armed forces are now
[00:22:05] advancing towards the Lahij province. If they capture Lahij,
[00:22:08] then the next step will be to put pressure on Aden,
[00:22:12] which is the interim capital of the Yemeni government.
[00:22:16] So, now,
[00:22:54] If so, everyone knows that the United States is now confronting Iran in the Strait. So, if it gets involved in the Houthi conflict, then the situation in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait
[00:22:58] will definitely become.
[00:23:01] So, the two straits being linked up, this is something the United States does not want to see. Therefore,
[00:23:05] it is very cautious about getting involved. But if it doesn't get involved,
[00:23:09] Saudi Arabia will repeatedly suffer attacks, and in the most recent
[00:23:13] attack on King Khalid Airport, an American was also
[00:23:17] killed. So, the United States.
[00:23:50] Still believe that the possibility of direct US involvement is relatively small. The possibility
[00:23:53] of direct US involvement is relatively small, but is it possible
[00:23:57] that the US will hope that Israel will intervene? Because
[00:24:01] I also saw Israeli media reports saying that the US has already
[00:24:05] discussed with the Israeli Chief of Staff that they might be considering
[00:24:08] allowing the Israeli military to intervene in this Houthi armed
[00:24:12] forces, this attack against the Houthi armed forces. Mr. Dong,
[00:24:16] what do you think of this possibility?
[00:25:50] There is also a saying that Saudi Arabia hopes that Syria will send
[00:25:54] troops. We know that after Syria recovered its regime,
[00:25:57] in fact, its internal affairs involve many foreign
[00:26:01] extremist armed forces. They hope to lead these forces
[00:26:05] to Yemen and use them to attack
[00:26:08] the Houthi armed forces. But
[00:26:12] from the current situation, I think it is still in the process of deliberation,
[00:26:16] and I think even if Syria sends troops, it might
[00:26:19] make the situation even more chaotic. So, this Yemen situation is still quite
[00:26:23] complex. Thank you both for your analysis. Our Global Vision will continue
[00:26:27] shortly.
[00:26:28] 。
[00:26:36] The war in Yemen continues to spread, and attacks by both sides on airports, energy facilities, and other civilian
[00:26:40] targets are constantly increasing the cost of the conflict.
[00:26:44] History has repeatedly proven that responding to military conflicts
[00:26:48] with military means cannot fundamentally resolve contradictions. Only by urging all
[00:26:52] parties to return to the negotiating table and seek a political solution
[00:26:55] through diplomatic mediation can the war be prevented from spreading
[00:26:59] and true peace be achieved in the Middle East.
