[00:03:37] The conflict between the Houthi group in Yemen and Saudi Arabia escalated
[00:03:40] Houthi attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh
[00:03:43] caused dozens of deaths.
[00:03:56] This is surveillance camera footage that shows the moments leading up to the
[00:04:00] explosion at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh,
[00:04:03] Saudi Arabia on local Saturday, most
[00:04:06] of the passengers were seen wearing ihram cloth which is usually worn by pilgrims
[00:04:10] going to Mecca to perform umrah.
[00:04:13] As a result of this attack, at least 13 people died and more than
[00:04:17] 300 people were injured.
[00:04:30] The spokesperson for the Yemeni armed forces Yahya Sari announced that
[00:04:33] his side had targeted airports and oil facilities in Saudi
[00:04:36] Arabia. This attack was carried out in response to
[00:04:40] the latest attack Saudi's continued aggression against Yemen.
[00:04:44] The Houthi group has carried out four special operations in the past
[00:04:48] 24 hours using a number of ballistic
[00:04:51] missiles and cruise missiles as well as
[00:04:53] drones.
[00:05:03] The Yemeni armed forces with the help of God
[00:05:06] Almighty, during the last 24 hours
[00:05:09] carried out four
[00:05:13] ballistic missiles and cruise missiles and
[00:05:16] drones. The first targeted
[00:05:20] Riyadh in three phases since yesterday
[00:05:23] evening and led
[00:05:27] the airport and its complete closure.
[00:05:30] The second operation targeted the Shaybah
[00:05:33] gas station belonging to Aramco in the Eastern
[00:05:36] Province and the hit was accurate by the
[00:05:40] grace of God and led to
[00:05:43] fire at the targeted sites. The third
[00:05:46] operation targeted Aramco's Tanajib
[00:05:49] oil facility targeted Aramco's Tanajib
[00:05:53] oil facility in the Eastern Province and the hit was
[00:05:56] accurate by the grace of God and led to the outbreak
[00:06:00] of fire there. The fourth operation targeted
[00:06:03] King Fahd Airport in Dammam and the hit was
[00:06:06] direct and led
[00:06:09] the airport.
[00:06:12] The spokesperson for the Yemeni army, Yahya Sari, also warned international companies,
[00:06:16] experts, workers, and travelers not to fly to Saudi
[00:06:19] airports, as these airports are not
[00:06:21] safe.
[00:06:24] Sari added that this warning does not apply to airports or airspace above the holy cities
[00:06:28] of Mecca and Medina.
[00:06:42] The airports and airspace of the holy sites in Mecca
[00:06:46] and Medina, that the Yemeni armed forces
[00:06:50] will continue their operations in an escalating manner towards the Saudi interior
[00:06:53] and that they are
[00:06:57] committed to establishing the equation of blockade for blockade
[00:07:00] and escalation for escalation and targeting the mobilizations belonging
[00:07:04] to the Saudi enemy until the aggression stops and the
[00:07:08] blockade on our beloved people ends.
[00:07:13] by Saudi Arabia escalated in the Lahaj region of Yemen on local
[00:07:17] Sunday. Through Almasirah TV, the Houthi
[00:07:20] group released footage showing them fighting against
[00:07:24] Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces in
[00:07:26] Lahaj.
[00:07:30] In this video, Houthi forces are seen firing mortars from tanks,
[00:07:33] firing artillery, and
[00:07:36] displaying drones that were shot down in the Lahaj
[00:07:39] battlefield. The Houthi group vowed to continue
[00:07:42] escalating operations deep within Saudi territory and
[00:07:46] enforcing the principle of blockade for blockade and escalation
[00:07:50] for escalation.
[00:08:11] The escalation of the Saudi conflict and Nasrullah once again raises questions about
[00:08:15] Saudi's defense capabilities, the involvement of regional allies, and the prospects
[00:08:19] for peace in Yemen. To discuss these dynamics, we are joined by Southwest
[00:08:22] Asian political observer Dina Sulaiman. Good
[00:08:26] afternoon, Dina. Good afternoon, Mas
[00:08:29] Anggi. Yes, you see the attack from the Ansarullah
[00:08:32] group that successfully hit targets in Saudi territory,
[00:08:35] according to you, does this indicate a weakness in the Saudi
[00:08:39] air defense system? To what extent will
[00:08:43] Saudi be able to thwart future
[00:08:45] attacks?
[00:08:47] Yes, well, first of all, of course, we are saddened by
[00:08:51] the deaths of a number of umrah pilgrims as reported
[00:08:55] earlier. And I think
[00:08:58] the fact that there are civilian casualties on both sides,
[00:09:02] both in Yemen and in Saudi Arabia, as a result of this
[00:09:05] war, is something we regret. Now, second, about
[00:09:09] what is the situation here? Why
[00:09:13] did Saudi Arabia have to go to war with Yemen? That
[00:09:16] needs to be checked. Why? Now, if we look at
[00:09:19] the chronology, initially Saudi Arabia was the first
[00:09:23] to attack Sanaa airport when
[00:09:26] there was an Iranian plane carrying Yemeni
[00:09:30] people who had just returned from this,
[00:09:33] pilgrimage or mourning for the funeral
[00:09:36] of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei who
[00:09:39] died. Now, after that, immediately.
[00:09:42] Yes, previously the war had been going on since 2015.
[00:09:46] Then there was a ceasefire agreement in
[00:09:49] 2021, but
[00:09:53] by Saudi Arabia
[00:09:55] actually made the war continue. Now, when
[00:09:59] it's different from the previous war, we see
[00:10:03] how Yemen during this vacuum period from
[00:10:06] 2000, 2021 has actually
[00:10:09] built a defense system that is
[00:10:13] much better, so
[00:10:17] their missiles and drones can be massively
[00:10:20] fired towards Saudi Arabia, while Saudi
[00:10:23] Arabia itself, its weaponry and
[00:10:26] fighter jets are heavily dependent on supplies
[00:10:29] from the United States, and even its pilots and
[00:10:33] troops are also largely reliant on foreign
[00:10:37] troops, so they are not native Saudis
[00:10:40] themselves, which means that even though
[00:10:43] Saudi's weapons on paper are much more
[00:10:46] sophisticated, because of the aforementioned factors, because they
[00:10:49] rely on outsiders, and also,
[00:10:53] what do you call it, Saudi Arabia is a rich
[00:10:56] country, and that wealth actually creates fragility,
[00:11:00] while on the Yemeni side, which has been embargoed by
[00:11:04] Saudi Arabia, has been embargoed, meaning food planes cannot
[00:11:07] enter Yemen, the first
[00:11:11] to break the Saudi
[00:11:15] plane embargo against Yemen was that Iranian plane
[00:11:18] that wanted to carry pilgrims
[00:11:22] from Yemen. Okay. So in
[00:11:25] this situation, we see how even Saudi's allies are thinking
[00:11:29] if they want to help, for example,
[00:11:32] Pakistan or Turkey, because they see
[00:11:35] how Yemen's strength or the weapons Yemen
[00:11:38] possesses are actually completely
[00:11:42] unexpected, they can massively
[00:11:45] enter Yemen's skies,
[00:11:49] Saudi's skies. Okay. Mrs., how
[00:11:53] do the attacks that we see now, the latest ones, cause civilian casualties or
[00:11:56] disrupt civilian facilities? Does this affect the political legitimacy
[00:12:00] of Ansarullah itself, both in Yemen and in
[00:12:02] the region?
[00:12:04] Well, first, regarding
[00:12:08] war, in war, there are always
[00:12:11] undesirable things, of course.
[00:12:15] For example, in 2018, Saudi
[00:12:18] bombed a bus full of schoolchildren. So,
[00:12:22] 40 schoolchildren died in
[00:12:25] that attack. And then, three weeks later, the Saudi
[00:12:29] side stated, "Oh, it was a wrong target," and provided
[00:12:32] compensation. That means it's very possible that
[00:12:36] this was indeed a mistake.
[00:12:39] But if we look at it, there was a statement
[00:12:43] from Yemen before attacking, Ansarullah Yemen, I mean.
[00:12:46] Before attacking, they had already said, "No one should fly
[00:12:50] to Saudi Arabia anymore because they will attack
[00:12:54] Saudi airports." And that was a retaliation
[00:12:57] for Saudi's attacks on airports in Yemen. If we count
[00:13:01] from 2015 to 2022, there
[00:13:05] are statistics that Saudi Arabia has attacked
[00:13:09] airports in Yemen more than 200
[00:13:12] times. That means now, it seems to me that
[00:13:16] Ansarullah Yemen is saying, "Okay, it's now or never."
[00:13:20] For so long, they have been trying
[00:13:23] to, in inverted commas, restrain themselves, but then
[00:13:26] Saudi Arabia kept attacking civilian
[00:13:30] targets in Yemen, so then finally the statement
[00:13:34] from Ansarullah Yemen is, "We retaliate in kind. Our airport
[00:13:38] was attacked, your airport will also be attacked," and
[00:13:41] so on. So if we want to see what this should be like,
[00:13:45] we have to look at the root of the problem.
[00:13:48] Why, at the very first
[00:13:51] moment, in March 2015, did Saudi Arabia have
[00:13:55] to start the war? If it's not resolved,
[00:13:58] there will be continuous retaliation. That there is a concerning
[00:14:02] situation like this now, I think it
[00:14:05] is a bad event, of course,
[00:14:09] and we are certainly waiting for a statement from Ansarullah Yemen.
[00:14:13] Until now, there has been no statement
[00:14:16] regarding the presence of civilians at Riyadh
[00:14:20] airport. The statements that exist are statements that
[00:14:23] no one should fly to Saudi Arabia anymore,
[00:14:27] except in Medina and Mecca.
[00:14:30] Okay, Mrs. Dina, seeing the increasing capability of Ansarullah
[00:14:34] to attack Saudi's strategic targets, is political
[00:14:37] negotiation still realistic to achieve, or will
[00:14:41] the escalation now actually narrow the chances for peace
[00:14:44] and increase the risk of a wider
[00:14:46] war?
[00:14:49] Actually, from my perspective, and I think this is also
[00:14:52] for researchers
[00:14:56] of Middle Eastern studies, if we look at
[00:14:58] history, why did Saudi Arabia have to attack
[00:15:02] Yemen, right? Wouldn't that make Saudi Arabia itself
[00:15:06] lose, right? So, since 2015, fighting
[00:15:09] against Ansarullah Yemen has been economically
[00:15:12] bloody, right? Saudi Arabia's state budget,
[00:15:16] that very rich Saudi Arabia, even the IMF says
[00:15:20] its economy is declining. Plus, the current situation has been going on for
[00:15:23] 3 years now. Since February 28th, I mean,
[00:15:27] Saudi Arabia also has to face a crisis because
[00:15:30] the American military base in Saudi
[00:15:34] was then attacked by Iran,
[00:15:38] because Iran retaliated against the United States'
[00:15:41] attacks. Meaning, for Saudi Arabia, there is no
[00:15:45] advantage for them to carry out
[00:15:49] attacks or to fight against their brothers in Yemen,
[00:15:52] right? So the question is, and this is the
[00:15:56] most critical part, who actually pushed Saudi Arabia to fight
[00:16:00] against Yemen? What is their business, what are their interests?
[00:16:04] Well, I think if we look at how America's
[00:16:07] foreign policy is very, Saudi Arabia is very
[00:16:11] co-opted by the United
[00:16:14] States, this is indeed in the interest of the United
[00:16:17] States. In our analysis, we have to zoom out and see
[00:16:21] what's going on, why does Ansarullah Yemen want
[00:16:25] to be overthrown by Saudi Arabia? Where is
[00:16:28] the problem? Well, if we look, the problem is in Bab-el-Mandeb,
[00:16:32] in the Strait of Mandeb. We see how Ansarullah
[00:16:35] Yemen in the last 3 years has been helping.
[00:16:39] Palestine by blocking the Red Sea. Ships going
[00:16:43] to Israel are not allowed to pass, so this is a threat
[00:16:46] to Israel. So, from this perspective, we see
[00:16:50] that as long as Saudi continues to be co-opted
[00:16:53] by the United States, as long as it does not
[00:16:56] prioritize its own interests, as long as it continues
[00:17:00] to ally with the United States and secretly help
[00:17:04] Israel like this, it will be difficult to achieve
[00:17:09] right? Okay, what Yemen said is actually
[00:17:12] clear. They said we will stop attacking
[00:17:16] if Saudi stops attacking. It's that simple, right? Now the question is, why
[00:17:20] doesn't Saudi stop attacking? Even though it's very detrimental
[00:17:24] to Saudi itself, because we see how its oil refineries
[00:17:27] are also targets of Ansarullah Yemen's
[00:17:30] missiles and drones, right? So the most rational
[00:17:34] answer is because Saudi Arabia doesn't dare
[00:17:37] to oppose or defy the wishes
[00:17:41] of the United States, because the United States has a great interest in the Yemeni government
[00:17:44] falling. Okay, Mrs. Dina, there is
[00:17:48] an agreement between Saudi Arabia and
[00:17:52] Turkey and also Pakistan regarding a kind of pact, a
[00:17:55] joint defense agreement, right? When this happens, will
[00:17:58] it apply to collective
[00:18:01] defense? It should be, when there is
[00:18:05] a defense alliance, the logic is mutual assistance.
[00:18:08] An attack on one member is considered an attack
[00:18:12] on oneself. NATO also has such a doctrine, right? So,
[00:18:16] in this kind of situation, Pakistan
[00:18:19] and Turkey should help, but we see they are not
[00:18:23] helping, or even if they are, it's probably
[00:18:27] not very significant. Why? I think it's because
[00:18:31] it's not rational for them to participate
[00:18:35] in this war, because the losses would be very great.
[00:18:38] War costs a lot of money, while the
[00:18:42] economic situation is already worsening due to the war between the United
[00:18:45] States and Iran, since February 8th, the situation
[00:18:48] has been very bad. So, I think this is just
[00:18:52] a paper agreement that has proven ineffective.
[00:18:56] Okay, well, Mrs. Dina, we will see
[00:18:59] the next developments, how America will react to this conflict,
[00:19:03] and also how the region responds to this incident.
[00:19:06] Thank you, Mrs. Nina, for your perspective this afternoon. Good afternoon.
[00:19:10] And viewers, we will be back after the break with information from the naval corps of the Iranian

[00:24:11] The naval corps of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran, IRGC, released a video
[00:24:15] showing a tanker exploding after hitting a sea mine in the Strait
[00:24:19] of Hormuz. The super tanker carrying crude oil
[00:24:23] exploded on Sunday local time after hitting a sea mine in the waters
[00:24:26] of the Strait of Hormuz. The ill-fated ship had deactivated all its
[00:24:30] navigation systems and intended to exit the Strait of Hormuz through an illegal
[00:24:33] route. The IRGC stated that this was the third time
[00:24:37] a super tanker exploded after hitting a sea mine and caught fire
[00:24:40] while trying to cross unauthorized shipping lanes in the Strait
[00:24:44] of Hormuz.
