[00:00:00] "the UK's role has been massive in the creation of of
[00:00:04] Israel itself. the west has always put themselves in picture
[00:00:07] as
[00:00:08] of the saviors, having the savior complex, but at the
[00:00:12] same time they do not look inwardly and look at how they have massively
[00:00:15] created the situation that we are in right now,
[00:00:18] of by you through their diplomatic ties, through the export of
[00:00:22] arms,
[00:00:23] you know, and and following only limited international law
[00:00:27] where it is feasible for them." "
[00:00:33] of of
[00:00:37] of
[00:00:47] a
[00:00:54] For months Saudi Arabia and its American patron have behaved as
[00:00:58] though they had discovered ultimate escape hatch
[00:01:01] of from the consequences of war. Iran closes the
[00:01:06] a of straight of hormos, no problem. Saudi Arabia, we were told had the
[00:01:08] of east-west pipeline, millions of barrels of crude oil per day could
[00:01:12] simply bypass the Persian gulf across the
[00:01:15] of kingdom and sail out through Yanboa on the Red Sea.
[00:01:19] A neat little geopolitical work around, except apparently the
[00:01:23] work around has now been shattered. Saudi Arabia has
[00:01:27] announced the shutdown of its crucial east-west crew. pipeline
[00:01:30] after multiple strikes targeted the facility. The very
[00:01:34] infrastructure that was supposed to give Muhammad bin Salman and Washington a
[00:01:38] strategic alternative to Hormus has suddenly become another
[00:01:42] vulnerability, and the irony is almost too perfect. For
[00:01:46] years, Riyad invested billions of dollars in projecting the image of
[00:01:50] modern, military protected, economically
[00:01:53] indispensible powerhouse. The message was simple,
[00:01:57] Saudi Arabia would always flow. Saudi infrastructure
[00:02:01] would always be secure and Saudi Arabia would always have an
[00:02:04] alternative, until it did not. Holmus
[00:02:08] is closed, the east-west pipeline is shut down, red sea
[00:02:12] exports are
[00:02:13] of under increasing pressure and Saudi oil production has pluunched
[00:02:17] dramatically, so much for the
[00:02:19] of great bypass, but perhaps the most revealing part of this entire
[00:02:23] spectacle is what comes
[00:02:26] a of next. Enter Benjamin
[00:02:27] of Netanyahu reportedly offering to step in and bob Yemen and Iraq to help
[00:02:31] Saudi Arabia, think about that for moment. Muhammad
[00:02:35] bin
[00:02:36] of Salman who has spent years presenting himself as the architect of new
[00:02:39] Saudi Arabia, sovereign, powerful and independent is now watching
[00:02:43] Netanyahu offer Israeli entity bombs as a rescue package for the
[00:02:47] kingdom's collapsing oil routes. That is not
[00:02:50] sovereignty,
[00:02:51] that is geopolitical humiliation wrapped in expensive public
[00:02:56] of relations, of and the hypocrisy is breathtaking. Saudi Arabia.
[00:03:00] spent years bombing Yemen, imposing devastating pressure on an already
[00:03:03] impoverished nation and participating in policies that brought suffering to
[00:03:07] millions of Yemenis. Now that Yemen has the capacity to
[00:03:11] impose a cost in return, Riyad suddenly needs others to
[00:03:15] come and fight its battles, first Washington, now perhaps
[00:03:18] Netanyahu. This is the uncomfortable truth for Muhammad bin
[00:03:22] Salman. You cannot spend years participating
[00:03:24] of in the architecture of American aggression, bank role regional
[00:03:28] wars, imagine that during can permanently protect you from
[00:03:32] consequences and then act shocked when the fire actually reaches your
[00:03:35] own pipelines. the straight of hermus was supposed to be
[00:03:39] bypassed. instead, Saudi Arabia may be learning that
[00:03:42] in a regional war there is no bypass
[00:03:46] around consequences. welcome to the meast
[00:03:48] stream,
[00:03:56] for years Saudi Arabia and its American allies believed that the...
[00:04:00] East-West pipeline gave the kingdom a strategic escape route, should the
[00:04:04] straight of hormos ever become
[00:04:06] a inaccessible, but that calculation is now facing dramatic collapse.
[00:04:10] As Hormus remains under pressure, the alternative Red Sea route is
[00:04:14] increasingly vulnerable. Exposing how deeply Saudi Arabia's
[00:04:18] economic security depends on
[00:04:20] a regional order it can no longer fully control. To
[00:04:24] discuss this issue with us from Beirot is Mr. Ali Murad, political commentator. Thanks
[00:04:28] million for being with
[00:04:29] of us. of Thank you. and I need to explain a bit to our viewers in the
[00:04:32] west what this means actually, because maybe they
[00:04:36] do not understand the
[00:04:38] of strategic geography of what we're talking about, they have fully understood by
[00:04:42] now what the straight of hormoz is, but why is Saudi Arabia's
[00:04:46] east-west
[00:04:47] a pipeline
[00:04:47] a uh considered Washington and Riyadh's most
[00:04:50] important alternative for keeping Saudi oil flowing and
[00:04:54] most importantly now that the pipeline itself has been hit and the oil
[00:04:58] flow has been interrupted, Maybe uh, can we know how
[00:05:02] fundamentally does this change the uh strategic
[00:05:05] challenge for
[00:05:06] a Saudi Arabia itself and the wider allies, if
[00:05:10] you will, patrons of Saudi Arabia, well first of all we all know that the east-west
[00:05:14] pipeline exists since the late
[00:05:17] 80s, but the importance the
[00:05:21] of this route has been so
[00:05:24] important um after the events that took
[00:05:28] place in hormostrate, the
[00:05:31] saudis braged about
[00:05:34] the their capability to export more than six million barrels
[00:05:38] of oil per day after
[00:05:41] the uh the closure the hormost
[00:05:44] straight, they were capable to do
[00:05:48] this, and the rest the Persian Gulf Arab
[00:05:51] states were unable to export their own
[00:05:54] oil, so now the Americans have been
[00:05:58] depending on the flow of those six or seven
[00:06:02] million barrels per day through the western ports of
[00:06:06] Saudi Arabia through the Red Sea, through the zous
[00:06:09] canal and the Babel Mandab straight. Right now,
[00:06:13] after the events in Yemen and the closure
[00:06:17] the Babel Mandib straight in face
[00:06:20] the Saudi oil exports, it
[00:06:24] has been vital for the Americans and the Saudis that the
[00:06:28] flow remains through the Zois canal
[00:06:32] after the um
[00:06:36] the um the attacks on the um the
[00:06:39] main pipeline uh
[00:06:42] station uh close to the Madina uh and
[00:06:46] Saudi Arabia is lost their
[00:06:50] lost their six million barrels per day
[00:06:54] exports per so it it's now as
[00:06:57] something devastating for the oil exporting
[00:07:01] industry in Saudi Arabia and it means that six million
[00:07:05] barrels per day uh are not being
[00:07:09] exported uh into the global ' energy
[00:07:13] market, so this has to affect the the price,
[00:07:17] it did start, California woke up a 9.99 per
[00:07:20] gallon, exactly, pretty first in its in its history, but
[00:07:24] there's also something important because Saudi Arabia has spent years investing
[00:07:28] heavily in the idea that its oil infrastructure can
[00:07:32] actually be protected because it has this powerful imperial power
[00:07:36] that helps it, the advanced western weapons, the military
[00:07:39] bases that were struck during the war against the Islamic Republic. of Iran and
[00:07:43] that they had the alternative route to what seems the major
[00:07:47] 20% uh the global export of oil that comes through
[00:07:51] the straight of hormoz, yet we are now uh seeing this pressure simultaneously
[00:07:55] on the Persian Gulf and the west-east pipeline as well and the red
[00:07:59] sea shipping routes from uh the Ansarullah movement in Yemen
[00:08:02] taking uh retaking if you will Babel Mantab rightly
[00:08:06] so as Yemenis that this does this demonstrate that the
[00:08:09] traditional US Saudi uh attempt to
[00:08:13] try and architecture uh this kind of security is
[00:08:17] falling apart and maybe never returning to what it once
[00:08:21] was? well, i think that the um the
[00:08:24] events proved that the saudi
[00:08:28] american
[00:08:29] security
[00:08:32] infrastructure has collapsed since
[00:08:35] 2019, if we
[00:08:37] recall in september 2019 the
[00:08:41] Yemenes at
[00:08:42] attacked
[00:08:44] and they they were
[00:08:48] capable of disrupting the production and
[00:08:52] the export of more than 6 million barrels per day
[00:08:55] after the attack, by then the
[00:08:58] Americans were like telling the saudis that we
[00:09:02] cannot do anything for you, went out and said we are waiting,
[00:09:06] went out and said, we are waiting for our Saudi allies to
[00:09:09] specify where the drones and the missile...
[00:09:13] originated from, so that's impossible that the US didn't know where they
[00:09:17] originated from, i think there is similar stance,
[00:09:21] american stance right now, Washington is
[00:09:25] is expressing that they are incapable of doing
[00:09:28] anything to the Saudis after the attack on the east-west
[00:09:32] pipeline, so I think that Saudis
[00:09:36] now are getting
[00:09:40] how serious the Americans are... are and providing
[00:09:43] security, they are incapable of providing security to
[00:09:47] their own soldiers and bases in the region,
[00:09:51] so they cannot do the same to the saudis, that's why I
[00:09:55] think that's why we we see that Saudis are going into
[00:09:59] Turkey and Pakistan and
[00:10:01] elsewhere to try to buy security, but
[00:10:05] in
[00:10:05] the end they can never
[00:10:08] protect or provide this security.
[00:10:12] umbrella
[00:10:14] uh uh to to protect their infrastructure, someone else is offering it
[00:10:18] though, ali, someone else is offering, because we read uh the
[00:10:22] zionist Israeli media saying that Netanyahu the... reports that he's
[00:10:25] offering to expand military action against both Yemen and Iraq to
[00:10:29] support uh Saudi Arabia and uh Monday morning there was a
[00:10:33] report from Hayom I'm not mistaken saying that
[00:10:36] it is Muhammad bin Salman who's seeking Israeli aid in
[00:10:39] this uh matter now what does this tell us about the uh uh
[00:10:43] emerging it's not emerging it has been always there but especially right now after
[00:10:47] what's been happening for the past three years Gaza Lebanon Iran the
[00:10:51] entire region what does this tell us about the alignment between the
[00:10:55] Saudi American and Israeli entity, and what about the leader the
[00:10:59] Muslim Ummah, Muhammad bin Salman, putting his hand in the hands
[00:11:03] of a war criminal, an actual
[00:11:06] prosecuted war criminal in the
[00:11:08] ICJ, to help him rid
[00:11:12] uh his uh interests against the Yemeni people who have been
[00:11:15] suffering under Saudi aggression and besiegement since
[00:11:19] 2015, what does this tell us about what's happening in the region? Well,
[00:11:23] first of all, the Saudi leader... uh knows well that
[00:11:27] in case he went into the zionis and asked
[00:11:31] for protection, it's going to be a big
[00:11:34] scandal for him because he is promoting himself
[00:11:38] and his father as the custodians the two holy
[00:11:42] places in Mecca and Medina, and we all know that
[00:11:46] the amenies during um the al-Aqsa
[00:11:49] flood operation after it when they started
[00:11:53] supporting the Palestinian people. by shooting their
[00:11:56] hypersonic missiles into the zionist regime, they
[00:12:00] gained a very big
[00:12:04] popular support from the Yemenes
[00:12:07] and as well as the the whole arab
[00:12:10] public, so in such a
[00:12:13] situation, if MBS goes into
[00:12:17] the Netanyahu government and ask
[00:12:20] for an official
[00:12:23] support in the... the emines, it's going to
[00:12:27] be killer for him, i think,
[00:12:29] because the legitimacy of what the soudis are
[00:12:33] are doing now is going to be reduced in
[00:12:37] face the events,
[00:12:39] because after all the
[00:12:43] first enemy the arab public is thesign regime,
[00:12:47] so you are going into the ziners, the the enemy the
[00:12:51] palestinian people and the enemy the whole region and ask:
[00:12:55] for support, this would erode what is
[00:12:58] left of legitimacy for the saudi regime,
[00:13:02] so it's a dangerous move that can be made
[00:13:05] by uh muhammad bin Salman
[00:13:07] and also tells gravely about the dire situation that the Saudis are now
[00:13:11] facing when when they ch when they were
[00:13:15] challenged by the ansarullah resistance problem,
[00:13:19] their major problem is that the Americans themselves
[00:13:22] tried with the Yemanis and failed. Exactly, so that tells us lot
[00:13:26] and we'll see what happens next, especially in the upcoming few days. I want to thank you very much, Mr. Adim, for
[00:13:30] your contribution to our show. Ladies and gents, stay tuned, because next we're going to
[00:13:34] talk about how Yemen is breaking all the red
[00:13:38] lines.
[00:14:08] In the space of just one week, Yemen's armed forces and Ansarulah have delivered
[00:14:12] developments whose significance extends far beyond the
[00:14:15] battlefield, placing renewed pressure on the American Saudi
[00:14:19] strategy across the Red Sea and the wider region as Washington
[00:14:23] attempts to maintain military. and economic control from the Persian Gulf to
[00:14:27] Babel Bandib, Yemen is demonstrating that the old
[00:14:30] assumption of uncontested American and Saudi dominance may
[00:14:34] no longer survive the realities emerging on the ground. More
[00:14:38] details in the following
[00:14:39] report. In the
[00:14:43] space of just one week, Yemen's armed forces of Ansarullah have
[00:14:46] delivered series of developments that are rapidly reshaping the
[00:14:50] military and political map of West Asia. The significance the
[00:14:54] advance to words and control over strategic areas surrounding the
[00:14:58] port of Mokha goes beyond the battlefield itself.
[00:15:01] Mokha sits at one the most strategically sensitive gateways to the Red
[00:15:05] Sea and Babel Mandab, a maritime corridor connecting the
[00:15:09] Mediterranean and the Indian ocean. Control over this geography
[00:15:13] is therefore not merely a Yemeny military achievement, it is message
[00:15:17] directed at the entire American Saudi Axess. For
[00:15:20] years, Saudi Arabia, backed by American military power has attempted to
[00:15:25] impose its political will on Yemen through air strikes,
[00:15:28] blockades, proxies and economic pressure, yet the latest
[00:15:31] developments have once again exposed the limits of that strategy,
[00:15:35] hundreds of fighters aligned with The Saudi Let coalition reportedly
[00:15:39] surrendered with little resistance, while the Yemenide
[00:15:43] demonstrated that its objective is not endless internal
[00:15:46] conflict, but the defeat of foreign sponsored military projects
[00:15:50] inside Yemen, the larger picture is even more
[00:15:53] consequential. As Washington escalates pressure of war against the Islamic
[00:15:57] Republic of Iran and seeks to secure alternative energy and
[00:16:01] maritime routes, Yemen is demonstrating that Babel Mandib
[00:16:04] cannot be treated as an American controlled substitute. for the straight of
[00:16:08] hormos. In other words, the United States cannot simply squeeze
[00:16:12] Iran in the Persian Gulf while assuming that the red sea will
[00:16:16] remain permanently open, secure, and obedient.
[00:16:20] That strategic illusion is collapsing. What we are witnessing
[00:16:24] increasingly resembles regional remontada against decades
[00:16:27] of American influence and military Germany. From the
[00:16:31] Persian Gulf to the Red Sea, Washington is discovering that its military
[00:16:35] bases, naval deployments and Regional alliances no longer
[00:16:39] automatically translate into political control, and Saudi
[00:16:43] Arabia faces equally uncomfortable reality. Riyad can
[00:16:46] either recognize that the era of imposing its foreign policy through
[00:16:50] American protection and military coersion is coming to an
[00:16:53] end, or continue escalating until it risks losing what
[00:16:57] remains of its influence across the region. For Washington, the
[00:17:01] choices are becoming increasingly limited, a wider confrontation risks
[00:17:05] transforming regional pressure into a global... economic crisis,
[00:17:08] yet retreat carries its own political consequences, exposing the
[00:17:12] limits of American power before allies and
[00:17:16] adversaries alike. Yemen's message therefore, is larger
[00:17:19] than one battlefield, the region is changing and neither soaravia
[00:17:23] nor the United States of America appears capable of stopping that
[00:17:27] change its old
[00:17:29] terms.
[00:17:35] To discuss this issue with us from Beirot is Mr. Ali Zahry, Yemani
[00:17:39] broadcaster and political analyst. It's a pleasure having you
[00:17:41] with us, Mr. Ali in the studio. Now let us begin by looking at the
[00:17:45] broader strategic significance of Ansarullah's recent
[00:17:49] military achievements, particularly around Mokha and the
[00:17:53] approaches to Babelmip straight. To what extent has Yemen
[00:17:56] transformed from a country that was expected to be military defeated
[00:18:00] by Saudi Arabia and its allies into regional
[00:18:03] uh actor capable of actually directing
[00:18:06] influence.
[00:18:39] to exert influence over it. It already possessed the ability to project
[00:18:43] firepower from different parts of Yemeni territory. The clearest evidence
[00:18:47] was the escalation of its support operations, which eventually reached the point
[00:18:51] of effectively closing the port of Ilat through missile and drone
[00:18:53] attacks. So, although Sanart was geographically far from
[00:18:57] Babel Mandab, it already had fire control and strategic
[00:19:00] reach. Since the beginning the alaxa flood, the world has
[00:19:04] increasingly been forced to factor Yemen into its regional and international.
[00:19:07] calculations as serious and consequential actor. Even before any
[00:19:11] geographical move toward Bablemendab, Yemen was already capable of imposing
[00:19:15] naval blockade and today, exerting pressure on Saudi shipping.
[00:19:19] Reaching areas around Babel Mandab would therefore give Sona greater leverage,
[00:19:22] greater control and greater visibility, but it would fundamentally be an extension of
[00:19:26] a capability it already possesses. At the same time, Yemen has the
[00:19:30] sovereign right to exercise control over its own territory. This should not
[00:19:34] automatically be portrayed as a threat to international navigation. Sana is
[00:19:38] a state, not a criminal organization, and its actions should be understood
[00:19:42] within the context of its declared strategic objectives. The attempt to portray
[00:19:45] Yemen's presence around Babilmandab as some kind of catastrophe overlooks a basic
[00:19:49] reality. This is Yemeni geography, and Yemen has demonstrated that it
[00:19:53] can project power and impose maritime pressure from virtually any part of its
[00:19:57] territory. Well, uh, the United States of America appears to be pursuing right
[00:20:01] now a wider strategy of increasing pressure on the Islamic Republic of
[00:20:05] Iran while simultaneously trying. to just preserve
[00:20:08] alternative maritime and energy security routes through
[00:20:12] the uh red sea and through the babil mandab after losing the straight of
[00:20:16] hormoz, but now after these developments, how interconnected are
[00:20:19] the battlefields really in Yemen uh to the Red Sea to the Persian
[00:20:23] Gulf and possibly to South Lebanon to Gaza,
[00:20:27] I mean the wider war of aggression now against the Islamic
[00:20:31] Republic of Iran has taken a whole new level in the region, I
[00:20:35] think, what do you think?
[00:20:50] significant because for the first time the concept of coordinated military
[00:20:54] fronts was being translated into concrete action on the ground. Today,
[00:20:57] with eco control over the strategic maritime control over the strategic
[00:21:01] maritime passage, the battle takes a much greater dimension and carries
[00:21:05] major strategic significance. We have already seen the scale the impact when the
[00:21:09] Emmy armed forces imposed pressure on Saudi oil exports and maritime
[00:21:13] traffic. The repercussions were felt across global markets. Saudi
[00:21:16] Arabia had been relying its Red-Sea routs to export substantial quantities of
[00:21:20] oil and had also been preparing to increase those exports in order to compensate for
[00:21:24] any disruption affecting the flow of oil through the straight of hormos.
[00:21:28] Today, Saudi Arabia cannot export either its usual volumes or
[00:21:32] the additional quantities that it had intended to use as buffer. This
[00:21:36] is why the consequences are being felt across the markets. The mistake is to
[00:21:39] look at what is happening in Iran, Yemen and Lebanon as separate
[00:21:43] battles. They are one battle, even if
[00:21:45] they take place across different geographies and carry different headlines. The
[00:21:49] United States. needs to understand that the unity the fronts has created a broad
[00:21:52] challenge to the Israeli and american project. this requires different
[00:21:56] approach, not simply a military one. further escalation around the straight
[00:22:00] of Hormus or Babelmandap could ignite a much wilder fire, one that would
[00:22:04] not be confined to Yemen, Iran or Lebanon. We have already seen prices
[00:22:08] rise around the world. The United States itself is beginning to view this as
[00:22:12] losing battle. The clearest evidence is the impact on ordinary
[00:22:15] Americans pockets. When people wake up in the morning, drive to work and see the price
[00:22:19] of. at the gas station, that economic pr at the gas station, that
[00:22:23] economic pressure will eventually be reflected at the ballot is the midterm
[00:22:26] elections, the American voter may well see the attack on Iran as major
[00:22:30] strategic mistake. After all, when Washington and Tehran were
[00:22:34] sitting at the negotiating table, there was no need for such a
[00:22:37] confrontation. Instead, the decision to abandon that
[00:22:41] path and escalate has produced negative consequences. Eventually the
[00:22:45] American public will respond through the ballot box. What we are witnessing
[00:22:49] today. is one interconnected battle, the United States and its
[00:22:52] allies are moving to preserve forces are moving to reject that higem, forces are moving
[00:22:56] to reject that hegemers have demonstrated
[00:22:59] their ability to endures have demonstrated their ability endure and remain
[00:23:02] steadfast because they have lived under intense pressure for very long
[00:23:05] time. The real question is whether the other side, particularly the
[00:23:09] Persian Gulf states and the west, can withstand even more
[00:23:12] pressure. This is especially important as winter approaches and Europe
[00:23:16] faces growing energy and heating needs. The world therefore. to
[00:23:20] act, not simply to defend Yemen or Iran, but to defend its own
[00:23:24] interests and the principles of international law. It should pressure Trump to return
[00:23:28] to moral, rational course, rather than taking the United States and the
[00:23:32] world with it further down a path toward
[00:23:33] disaster. Well, you know, the kingdom of Saudi
[00:23:37] Arabia has spent billions of dollars on weaponizing the
[00:23:41] kingdom against the people the region, instead of actually
[00:23:45] protecting the people the region, but what's happening right now is
[00:23:48] something that I called? regional remontada by the Yemeni
[00:23:52] revolutionary resistance fighters, can
[00:23:56] this actually force eventually the kingdom of Saudi Arabia into
[00:24:00] changing its foreign policy, especially with Yemen,
[00:24:04] and maybe push it towards dependence from Washington and
[00:24:08] push it towards the uh, push it towards
[00:24:11] the uh literal lap of Zionist
[00:24:14] Israil.
[00:24:18] First of all, actually thank Saudi Arabia for helping to arm the Yemeni
[00:24:22] armed forces, albeit unintentionally. Even if Yemen had
[00:24:26] possessed vast financial resources and the ability to purchase
[00:24:29] weapons. There were certain systems that could not simply be supplied to Yemen,
[00:24:33] because the United States and western arms companies reserve particular weapons for their
[00:24:37] regional allies and partners. In that sense, Saudi Arabia ended up
[00:24:41] arming Yemen without realizing it. Through its aggression against Yemen, Saudi
[00:24:45] Arabia also strengthened Yemen in ways it never intended. The war created a
[00:24:48] powerful sense of national. resolve among Yemenis who refused to become anyone's
[00:24:52] instrument or accept aggression against their country. That aggression brought out the
[00:24:56] strongest quantities of Yemeni society, its resilience,
[00:24:59] determination, and ability to manufacture and develop weapons. Today,
[00:25:03] Yemen has acquired a formidable strategic arsenal, develop its capabilities on the
[00:25:07] ground and reached the Babelmandap. We are not threatening anyone, we
[00:25:11] are asserting sovereignty over geographical area that falls within Yemen's
[00:25:14] sovereign domain. Saudi Arabia, like the rest the world, needs
[00:25:18] to recognize the changes that taken place. Yemen was once treated as a
[00:25:22] secondary front and a marginal state. Today the entire world has to
[00:25:26] factor Yemen into its calculations. The question is whether Saudi Arabia is
[00:25:30] doing the same. Every time Sanat has called on the Ald to return to the road
[00:25:33] map,
[00:25:34] it is essentially offered the least costly option, return to good neighborly
[00:25:38] relations and a political solution based on equality and mutual respect.
[00:25:42] Instead of choosing solution that costts virtually nothing, Saudi Arabia has
[00:25:45] pursued alliances, agreements and greater reliance on American protection.
[00:25:50] Perhaps it should consider the alternative: Yemeni security a
[00:25:54] cost of zer dollars. Whenever calls for return to the right
[00:25:57] path, good neighborly relations and solutions based on mutual
[00:26:01] respect, Saudi Arab Arabia seems to interpret that position as a sign that
[00:26:04] Sanad is its weakest. The evidence suggests otherwise.
[00:26:08] Riad has repeatedly miscalculated. It made the right move in 2022
[00:26:12] when it agreed with san to reduce tensions. Negotiations continued for years and
[00:26:16] eventually produced road map. But Saudi Arabia
[00:26:20] made what we consider a grave strategic mistake when it returned to
[00:26:24] escalation. It should have understood that San was preparing precisely
[00:26:28] for this possibility. During the period surrounding the Alexa flood while
[00:26:31] Saudi. Arabia was underestimating Yemen, Sant was preparing and building
[00:26:35] its capabilities. Today, Saudi Arabia has entered extremely dangerous
[00:26:39] territory, and in our view, we'll
[00:26:42] pay very heavy price. Sana considers this an opportunity to force Saudi
[00:26:45] Arabia to reconsider its calculations and that opportunity, once
[00:26:49] presented, cannot simply be ignored. Definitely, and it's going
[00:26:53] to be very interesting to see how the leaders in the Kingdom of Saudi
[00:26:57] Arabia will take that approach, maybe they will be losing what they
[00:27:01] occupied like Jiizana.
[00:27:02] important very matter.
