[00:00:01] specifically from
[00:00:15] for the naval coalition due to this
[00:00:21] other than the increase in oil prices
[00:00:25] would be enough. This
[00:00:31] under the banner of this
[00:00:34] Iran wants from this
[00:00:35] Many are counting on
[00:00:38] Welcome, dear viewers. The threats posed by
[00:00:41] the Houthi terrorist militia, supported by the Iranian
[00:00:44] regime, against international
[00:00:46] Yes, it is navigation in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab continue. This
[00:00:49] escalation raises increasing concern for the security
[00:00:53] of one of the most important maritime passages
[00:00:55] in the world. The latest attack on an Indian
[00:00:59] merchant cargo ship confirms the continuation of these attacks
[00:01:02] that transcend Yemen's borders to affect the security of global
[00:01:06] trade and the stability of the region, raising questions
[00:01:09] about ways to confront these threats and the role of the international
[00:01:13] community in protecting freedom of navigation and supporting the Yemeni
[00:01:16] state to restore and fully obtain
[00:01:19] its sovereignty over all Yemeni territories. Regarding this
[00:01:26] strait, meaning due to their siege topic, and regarding our country's condemnation of the Iranian attack, or rather the Houthi attack supported by Iran, on
[00:01:30] the Indian merchant
[00:01:34] You know what happened on in your speech. And I will also return ship, this will be the focus of our discussion in this special coverage. Before we begin
[00:01:37] the discussion with our guests, who will join us successively in this coverage,
[00:01:40] let's watch, dear viewers, this
[00:01:47] is capable, I believe, of
[00:01:56] go with a group of The attacks carried out by the Houthi militia against
[00:02:00] merchant ships in the Red Sea
[00:02:03] meaning that this and Bab al-Mandab are no longer isolated incidents; they have become a systematic
[00:02:05] approach that threatens international navigation
[00:02:08] and exposes one of the most important maritime passages
[00:02:11] in the world to increasing dangers, amidst
[00:02:15] the militia's continued targeting of ships and obstruction
[00:02:18] of global trade and energy supply
[00:02:21] lines. In this context, the Ministry
[00:02:24] of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates
[00:02:26] We all know in of the Republic of Yemen condemned in the strongest terms
[00:02:30] they deem appropriate according to their presence the terrorist attack that targeted the Indian merchant ship
[00:02:34] with an explosive boat, which led to its
[00:02:37] complete sinking, emphasizing that this
[00:02:39] aggression represents a blatant violation of international
[00:02:43] law and maritime law, and an extension of the series of attacks
[00:02:46] carried out by the militia against merchant ships in the Red Sea,
[00:02:50] Bab al-Mandab, and the Gulf of Aden. The Ministry affirmed
[00:02:54] the full solidarity of the Yemeni Republic with the Republic of India,
[00:02:57] commending at the same time
[00:03:00] And you, at this the rescue operation carried
[00:03:02] in our liberated areas out by the Yemeni Coast Guard forces with the participation
[00:03:04] of the naval forces, which resulted in the rescue of all crew
[00:03:08] members and their safe transfer to Al-Mokha Port.
[00:03:11] This aggression reflects the Houthi militia's determination to drag
[00:03:15] I mean. And here the region into further tension and harm
[00:03:18] international interests, considering it an arm that implements
[00:03:22] Iran's destructive agenda
[00:03:23] in the region.
[00:03:35] increase their attacks on civilian objects So, dear viewers, as is
[00:03:38] its custom, this terrorist militia is carrying
[00:03:41] and then not a single projectile out continuous targeting and working
[00:03:44] to implement Iran's agenda, Iran's ambitions, and Iran's
[00:03:48] is the only one capable of settling project in the region. We saw recently what it did by targeting
[00:03:51] the civilian merchant
[00:03:53] recognize the danger of these Indian ship, which was carrying
[00:03:56] food and aid for
[00:04:00] Yemenis. However, this militia, also in light
[00:04:03] of the terrorism, starvation,
[00:04:05] Houthi terrorist militia is trying to escape and siege it is imposing on the Yemeni people
[00:04:08] in areas under its control, worked to target this ship
[00:04:10] and sink it. However, the government coast guard forces
[00:04:14] were able to rescue the crew of
[00:04:17] this ship. We are now joined via video call
[00:04:20] by Professor Amin Al-Mushouli, the writer and political analyst.
[00:04:24] Professor Amin, welcome. Welcome,
[00:04:27] welcome, Professor Amin. Professor Amin,
[00:04:30] the targeting
[00:04:32] the United States of America of the Indian merchant ship
[00:04:36] and this is its nature and its followers, and it does not by the Iranian-backed Houthi terrorist militia
[00:04:39] carries many implications and represents an escalation at this stage.
[00:04:42] In your opinion? First, greetings to
[00:04:46] you, your guests, your channel, and to the viewers and followers.
[00:04:49] My dear, the Houthi militias are sending a clear message
[00:04:52] that they are against
[00:04:55] that the Yemeni people from any peace or any talk about peace
[00:04:58] or de-escalation, and entering into other
[00:05:02] programs other than the killing and destruction that we
[00:05:05] see and observe at this stage. Today,
[00:05:09] again, this militia within 48
[00:05:11] repeats this targeting. hours, they carried out very large military operations.
[00:05:14] They targeted two ships belonging to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. They targeted
[00:05:18] the Indian ship, and they are besieging the Yemeni people. They are telling everyone that
[00:05:22] I will besiege you. I will besiege the interior, which is under
[00:05:26] my mercy and the mercy of my missiles, and my
[00:05:29] boats and the military drones. They
[00:05:32] are also telling all these people, "Where will
[00:05:36] you go from me? For you are under my mercy. I will launch
[00:05:39] drones, missiles, booby traps, and naval mines."
[00:05:43] With which they achieve what
[00:05:46] arm. Today, these militias are telling the world
[00:05:49] that the Bab al-Mandab Strait is no longer
[00:05:52] anything but a purely Iranian strait, whether anyone likes
[00:05:56] it or not. This is the current discourse of the Houthi
[00:06:00] militias, and it is what we see manifest before all of us.
[00:06:03] The targeting of this Indian ship is a humanitarian targeting
[00:06:06] in every sense of the word, and it is
[00:06:10] a war crime because this ship was carrying
[00:06:13] humanitarian aid or food
[00:06:15] supplies. These supplies were going
[00:06:18] to Al-Mokha port in order to help people or
[00:06:22] feed them or whatever they were for. They were
[00:06:26] going to help
[00:06:29] people cope with the hardships of life and the harsh living conditions caused by
[00:06:33] these Houthi militias
[00:06:36] on the interior and on the region, excuse me,
[00:06:39] and on the Bab al-Mandab Strait specifically. Yes. Of course, there is a very important point
[00:06:44] to the implications of this matter. But you
[00:06:48] mentioned that today the Bab al-Mandab Strait has become
[00:06:51] an Iranian strait par excellence. So, the danger
[00:06:54] of that, with Iran's control
[00:06:57] over the Strait of Hormuz, what is the danger
[00:07:00] of that? My dear, we all know
[00:07:04] that whoever wants to control this region only needs to
[00:07:09] soldiers and a group of naval mines to control
[00:07:12] the strategic chokepoints that
[00:07:15] surround the Middle East. This is what Great Britain
[00:07:19] did, which at that time was an empire
[00:07:21] on which the sun never set. How did it control the world?
[00:07:25] It went with a group of soldiers to the Strait of Hormuz, to Bab al-Mandab,
[00:07:29] to the Suez Canal, to the Cape of Good Hope,
[00:07:32] and by doing so, it was able to
[00:07:35] choke this region.
[00:07:39] political
[00:07:41] geography that this region is the center of the world, and that this
[00:07:44] region is where the whole world passes
[00:07:48] from east to west and from north to south. Today, Iran wants to
[00:07:51] send a message that "I am the one who controls you
[00:07:54] and your oil." We all know that 21% of
[00:07:57] the energy supplies that pass through Bab al-Mandab are now
[00:08:01] obstructed, and nothing enters except as these militias wish,
[00:08:05] as a strategic arm for
[00:08:07] the Iranian pirates who began pirating in the Strait
[00:08:11] of Hormuz and today in Bab al-Mandab, and perhaps tomorrow they may head
[00:08:15] to the Suez Canal, as happened in Damietta, although
[00:08:18] according to my information, no party has claimed responsibility
[00:08:22] yet, even at this moment, although there are indications
[00:08:26] that Iran is behind this region. Today, Iran wants
[00:08:29] to tell the whole region, "Where will
[00:08:32] you go from me and my arms that I control? I have spent
[00:08:36] my heart's blood on these arms, and today
[00:08:39] they are doing and acting as I wish,
[00:08:43] not for themselves. These arms do not care about their people, their countries, or
[00:08:47] their regions. Their only concern is what I want,
[00:08:51] the Persian Empire that wants to return to the
[00:08:54] forefront, and it is seizing or devouring
[00:08:57] the geography of the Bab al-Mandab Strait after it
[00:09:00] obstructed the movement of supply chains in
[00:09:03] the Strait of Hormuz. Yes. Has the world failed in the face of this Iranian
[00:09:07] folly in the region and this targeting? I mean,
[00:09:10] couldn't the world stop this terrorism?
[00:09:13] In your opinion? My brother, the whole world is searching,
[00:09:17] and the language of international dealings is purely pragmatic,
[00:09:21] meaning that a party may be supported to obstruct another
[00:09:24] party. Today, we all know that the United States of America
[00:09:28] is striking not for the benefit of the Middle East, but for
[00:09:31] its own personal benefit, to destroy or cut
[00:09:35] off energy supply chains to China specifically, because
[00:09:38] the coming war will be with China, and we all know that. Today,
[00:09:44] does not want to destroy this region to extort this
[00:09:48] geopolitically important region for the whole world. Where
[00:09:51] will arms companies go? Of course, they will
[00:09:54] go bankrupt if this region is secure. Today, there is a conflict
[00:09:58] that the United States of America wants to keep a wounded
[00:10:01] tiger, which is Iran. But the Israelis also
[00:10:05] want to destroy this state
[00:10:08] so that the time and place in the Middle East will be
[00:10:11] clear for them. Today, the world is not...
[00:10:14] And perhaps we have all witnessed
[00:10:18] a new alliance that has begun to form, and it is in its early
[00:10:22] stages, which has begun to emerge and which the Arab and Islamic
[00:10:25] world and the entire Middle East rely on: Turkey, the Kingdom of Saudi
[00:10:28] Arabia, Pakistan, Egypt, Qatar,
[00:10:32] and perhaps other countries will follow suit. Today, we noticed
[00:10:35] that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia appointed a commander for the naval forces or
[00:10:40] that was established in recent days, and it was attended
[00:10:43] by countries totaling 14 countries, as the media
[00:10:47] reported. And today I read in the news that there are countries
[00:10:50] that have started sending messages that they will join
[00:10:56] alliance. The world today, the Middle East specifically, will not allow
[00:11:00] anyone to continue Iran
[00:11:02] with this unlimited tyranny,
[00:11:05] and perhaps the first and last word will be for the Yemeni people
[00:11:09] when the atmosphere is clear for them and the region allows us, as the Yemeni
[00:11:12] people, to resolve our issue, and then
[00:11:15] only the Bab al-Mandab Strait will be secure. Yes. Okay, what do you think are the political
[00:11:19] dimensions for establishing this coalition you referred to, the multinational
[00:11:23] naval multinational coalition for maritime
[00:11:26] security and protection? Today, as you also mentioned, the Saudi
[00:11:30] Ministry of Defense announced the appointment of a commander for
[00:11:33] this coalition. What are the political dimensions in light of the current developments
[00:11:37] and situation? First, we all know that
[00:11:40] the Bab al-Mandab Strait in particular and the Red Sea in particular,
[00:11:44] the Bab al-Mandab Strait is not a special canal or a special strait dug
[00:11:48] by humans, but rather a natural
[00:11:51] that this strait is a global strait that
[00:11:55] concerns the whole world. And when the energy and food supply chains
[00:11:58] are obstructed, as is happening in the targeting of this ship that
[00:12:02] we are talking about today, or the targeting of Saudi
[00:12:05] ships that were carrying oil in the past
[00:12:09] days, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
[00:12:12] its military formation in the navy, it can
[00:12:15] resolve the issue. But it realizes that this strait
[00:12:18] is not special to it or
[00:12:21] to the littoral states of the Red Sea, but rather it is special.
[00:12:25] It is a lifeline for the whole world,
[00:12:28] strait concerns the whole world. And when
[00:12:31] the countries of the world form a coalition, the burden will be
[00:12:34] eased, and the cost will be divided
[00:12:38] among these countries. And perhaps
[00:12:41] these countries, in fact, I can say that they
[00:12:44] will send and participate, whether
[00:12:46] it is
[00:12:48] with military personnel or sailors,
[00:12:52] or intelligence, or whatever
[00:12:55] and the strength of their forces in the Red Sea,
[00:12:59] the Arabian Sea, the Bab al-Mandab Strait, and the Horn of Africa. Yes. Okay, how can this coalition
[00:13:02] succeed, in your opinion? What are the practical steps
[00:13:06] to be able to preserve and protect
[00:13:09] maritime security in Bab al-Mandab, and thus also preserve
[00:13:13] trade, navigation, and supply chains
[00:13:16] and so on?
[00:13:18] My brother, we all know that these Houthi militias can
[00:13:22] fight the whole world, and they are ready to fight all
[00:13:25] the countries of the world, but they are not ready to wage an internal
[00:13:29] war with the Yemeni people, because the Yemeni people have experience
[00:13:32] dealing with these Houthi militias. But
[00:13:35] we know, and the world knows, and the region knows, that the whole
[00:13:39] world, if it wants to secure the Bab al-Mandab Strait, only needs
[00:13:42] to take one step
[00:13:46] only, which is to allow the national army to wage
[00:13:49] a decisive ground battle at 360
[00:13:53] degrees and scatter in different military
[00:13:56] areas, east and west, north and south, waging a battle
[00:13:59] simultaneously. Then the issue of the Houthi
[00:14:02] militias will be settled,
[00:14:06] will be launched at the Red Sea or the Arabian Sea, because everyone
[00:14:10] will be under the banner of the state, and the state
[00:14:13] this issue. My brother, we all know that the longer
[00:14:17] the settlement is delayed, the greater the cost,
[00:14:20] not only for the interior but for the region and the
[00:14:24] whole world. Today, how much have the littoral states
[00:14:27] of the Red Sea lost from these crimes committed
[00:14:31] by the Houthi militias? I read a report at the end of last year
[00:14:34] stating that the Suez Canal and this report
[00:14:37] issued by
[00:14:51] room will try to reconnect with Professor Amin Al-Mushouli, the writer
[00:14:55] and political analyst. Professor Amin
[00:14:59] was talking about the multinational
[00:15:01] coalition concerned with protecting maritime
[00:15:05] navigation and maritime security in Bab al-Mandab,
[00:15:08] and he spoke about the littoral states of the Red Sea
[00:15:12] that are directly affected, whether they are
[00:15:15] regional states or others, directly affected
[00:15:19] by these tensions, this
[00:15:22] escalation, these practices, and this terrorism.
[00:15:25] From the Houthi militia, backed by the Iranian regime, in
[00:15:29] Bab al-Mandab. I mean, once
[00:15:36] A number of countries have been affected. The Suez Canal
[00:15:39] and Egypt are at the top of these countries. Professor Amin was talking about
[00:15:42] a report that clarified
[00:15:46] the great losses that Egypt and the Suez Canal
[00:15:50] specifically incurred
[00:15:52] targeting. And also
[00:15:56] I mean, whether it was the first time
[00:16:00] when the Houthi terrorist militia escalated and worked
[00:16:04] to disturb security in Bab al-Mandab, or
[00:16:07] currently, and this also calls for a firm stand.
[00:16:12] the coalition, the multinational coalition, to have
[00:16:15] an effect in this matter. We will go, dear viewers,
[00:16:18] if Professor Amin Al-Mushuri
[00:16:22] joins us again via video call,
[00:16:25] the writer and political analyst. Professor Amin, welcome
[00:16:28] again.
[00:16:41] were talking about the losses
[00:16:44] specifically talking about the
[00:16:52] the losses of the interior and the losses of the region,
[00:16:56] if I wanted to talk about, everyone knows the losses of the Yemeni
[00:16:59] interior. The Houthi militias destroyed all the infrastructure. Billions
[00:17:03] of dollars were due to their presence. I was following,
[00:17:06] as I told you a while ago, the report issued by the Egyptian Ministry
[00:17:10] of Economy, which talks, I don't remember the numbers, but it's
[00:17:14] from six to nine billion in losses to the Suez Canal because
[00:17:17] these Houthi militias obstructed energy and food supply
[00:17:21] chains passing through the Suez Canal
[00:17:23] and their launch to the countries of the world via the Cape of Good Hope.
[00:17:27] This means that the longer the settlement of these
[00:17:31] militias and their elimination is delayed, the more
[00:17:34] the cost increases. And everyone knows that the cost of war
[00:17:38] is less than the cost of these Houthi militias
[00:17:41] remaining. And this information is not unknown to anyone,
[00:17:44] meaning every day we delay is a loss of our blood, our
[00:17:47] souls, and our capabilities as the Yemeni
[00:17:50] people, and even the region. How much have the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
[00:17:54] lost from the targeting of civilian objects?
[00:17:57] How much has Egypt lost? How much
[00:18:00] has Yemen lost? These countries, if they do not give a green
[00:18:03] light to the national army and to the military formations
[00:18:08] under the Ministry of Defense today to settle
[00:18:12] the battle, then we will all
[00:18:14] be...
[00:18:18] from these militias that will be a thorn and a dagger in the side
[00:18:21] of the Arab and Islamic nation, but also the whole world. And this
[00:18:25] is what the whole world is paying for today, not just us and the
[00:18:29] region. Yes, Professor Amin, please stay with us. We will go for a short
[00:18:33] break, then we will return to complete the discussion with you, dear viewers.
[00:18:38] break, then we will return to complete the discussion. Stay with us.
[00:20:01] So we return again, dear viewers, to talk about
[00:20:05] the terrorist attack and the continuous escalation by the Houthi
[00:20:09] terrorist militia, backed by the Iranian regime,
[00:20:12] in Bab al-Mandab, and its recent targeting
[00:20:15] of the civilian merchant Indian
[00:20:18] ship. We also return to complete the discussion
[00:20:21] with Professor Amin Al-Mushouli, the writer and political analyst.
[00:20:24] Professor Amin, you were saying that the cost
[00:20:27] of liberating Yemen and getting rid of this
[00:20:30] militia is far less than what
[00:20:34] the world, the region, Yemen, and Yemenis
[00:20:37] and civilians everywhere are paying for the continued existence of this militia
[00:20:41] and its terrorism and its support in Tehran. I mean,
[00:20:44] all the targeting that this militia is doing is mostly
[00:20:48] launched from land,
[00:20:51] Hodeidah. What has
[00:20:53] the world, the region, and even the Yemenis
[00:20:57] and Yemen lost from the failure
[00:21:00] to complete the liberation of Hodeidah
[00:21:03] and stopping the battle to liberate Hodeidah, in your opinion?
[00:21:07] If there were no losses for the world
[00:21:11] for Yemen, even by one cent, then that
[00:21:15] amount that was added due to
[00:21:18] the obstruction of chains in Bab al-Mandab is enough
[00:21:22] to overthrow this terrorist group
[00:21:26] that obstructed
[00:21:29] navigation in the Red Sea and struck the Kingdom
[00:21:32] of Saudi Arabia, and as I mentioned a while
[00:21:35] ago, the Egyptian economy. My dear, the world
[00:21:38] today, when you see that a ship was struck here and a ship
[00:21:42] was struck there, this is due to the militias, and they are the kings.
[00:21:45] If there is a state, then international
[00:21:49] relations dictate that the state that borders the sea
[00:21:52] must protect this maritime
[00:21:55] geography, and it is responsible. The responsibilities of a state
[00:21:58] are not the responsibilities of militias. Today, the Houthi
[00:22:02] militias are sending messages written in blood,
[00:22:05] that there is no financial survival unless you... Today, these militias,
[00:22:09] when they pluck here or there, send a message
[00:22:13] even to those who defend them, that we do not carry any olive
[00:22:15] branch of peace, but we carry the tool
[00:22:19] of death and destruction, as is happening.
[00:22:24] land and at sea, and we all followed that. Yes. Okay,
[00:22:27] the targeting of this ship, which is a civilian
[00:22:30] ship, a merchant ship carrying
[00:22:34] food and aid to the Yemeni people
[00:22:37] everywhere, in Houthi-controlled areas or in liberated
[00:22:41] areas. How does this targeting refute the false propaganda
[00:22:44] of the Houthi terrorist militia, which talks about
[00:22:48] the siege on Yemen and also works to starve
[00:22:51] people? The Houthi militias
[00:22:54] are besieging the interior within their
[00:22:57] geography and even besieging the liberated areas. If I wanted to mention
[00:23:01] one detail, how the entire Yemeni economy collapsed
[00:23:04] when they besieged and prevented the export of even a single
[00:23:08] drop of oil from Al-Dabba port and targeted Al-Dabba port
[00:23:12] and all the other ports or two other ports
[00:23:16] from which the Yemeni legitimate government was exporting
[00:23:20] to support the national economy, and
[00:23:24] that would lead to an improvement in the exchange rate
[00:23:27] and would lead to the Yemeni
[00:23:30] people getting their share of their wealth and benefiting
[00:23:34] from it. Today, the Houthi militias seem to be saying,
[00:23:37] by targeting this ship, "I have prevented you from
[00:23:40] exporting oil, and today I prevent you even from importing food
[00:23:43] and medicine." Perhaps there were medicines on that ship. Today, they are besieging
[00:23:47] everyone and telling Yemenis, "Whether
[00:23:52] or in the areas that are still under your control,
[00:23:56] you are at my mercy, and you are in my firing line,
[00:23:59] and there is no escape for you except by eliminating it." That is what
[00:24:05] I address a message to all the Yemeni people, in the liberated areas
[00:24:07] and the non-liberated areas, that
[00:24:11] enough is enough, for the coming days
[00:24:14] may witness worse than what we are experiencing
[00:24:18] from the siege, and perhaps blood will flow. And I personally
[00:24:21] expect these militias to
[00:24:25] to try to sow fear in the popular base after they
[00:24:28] sowed it in the sea, specifically.
[00:24:32] And if we take the detail of this ship, today businessmen
[00:24:35] are afraid when
[00:24:39] they bring their ships or their materials or what they
[00:24:42] want to bring into Yemen, they fear for it. And we all know
[00:24:46] how insurance costs have risen because of
[00:24:50] this strike and other strikes in the Red Sea. I mean, the
[00:24:55] from the entitlements before
[00:24:58] the people in its controlled areas to such
[00:25:02] actions, or is it only acting today to alleviate
[00:25:05] pressure on Iran and what
[00:25:08] Iran is doing and Iran's terrorism?
[00:25:12] My dear brother, we all know that the goal of these militias is
[00:25:15] what Iran dictates to them. We have exhausted all
[00:25:19] the words on all channels and media platforms and discussions
[00:25:23] about this group, and the unconscious
[00:25:26] mind has become saturated with
[00:25:28] the ethics of these militias. And perhaps if you noticed
[00:25:32] that when an official comes out and says that this group is a terrorist
[00:25:35] group, they respond to me in the comments, "Brother, we know they are terrorists since
[00:25:39] 2015. What new thing are they bringing?" The only new thing
[00:25:45] top to bottom should do is wage a decisive
[00:25:48] battle against these militias. My dear brother,
[00:25:52] the Yemeni people have exhausted
[00:25:55] all words. When we talk about the evils of this
[00:25:59] group, it gets consecrated even
[00:26:02] within the popular base. The new thing that we will add when
[00:26:05] we talk about this group, the new thing
[00:26:09] that we must talk about, is to utter
[00:26:13] only one word or one sentence, a call to the Yemeni
[00:26:16] people: "Do you want to carry arms? Then whoever wants to carry
[00:26:19] arms, we will organize him. And whoever cannot carry
[00:26:23] arms, we will teach him how to carry arms to wage
[00:26:27] a decisive battle against these Houthi militias." As for going
[00:26:30] for analysis here and there,
[00:26:37] these militias, my dear brother, either kill you or you kill
[00:26:41] them. We, as a national project, must bear the cost
[00:26:44] to eliminate this Houthi militia one way or another.
[00:26:49] they who impose this matter and seek to kill
[00:26:52] Yemenis and destroy their capabilities. But the Leadership
[00:26:55] Council also praised the efforts of the Coast Guard
[00:26:58] forces. The Coast Guard was also able to rescue the crew
[00:27:03] of the ship. I mean, what is your reading of this
[00:27:07] performance, the performance of the Coast Guard, and what
[00:27:10] does it need to enhance its capabilities, in your opinion?
[00:27:13] First, I am not a military analyst to talk about military
[00:27:17] capabilities. I do not want to talk on behalf of the military, but I call
[00:27:20] on the brothers in the leadership council... I mean, I mean a political
[00:27:24] reading. I mean, Professor Amin, a political reading of
[00:27:27] these capabilities and this
[00:27:29] success today in this mission.
[00:27:31] They succeeded and evacuated this ship and brought them back to Al-Mokha
[00:27:35] port, and this is a dear and qualitative step.
[00:27:39] We thank them for it and we support them,
[00:27:41] but the brothers in the Presidential Leadership Council must
[00:27:45] leave the square
[00:27:48] of statements, because the Yemeni people
[00:27:51] are seething from within today, seeing the blood of their children
[00:27:54] and the resources of their homeland flowing before their eyes while
[00:27:57] they are bound and cannot do anything. The Presidential
[00:28:01] Leadership Council, headed by Dr. Rashad Mohammed Al-Alimi,
[00:28:05] must fight this historical battle,
[00:28:09] because we, as the Yemeni people, face historical entitlements.
[00:28:13] My dear brother, the Imamate previously did not commit
[00:28:16] such crimes as we see today.
[00:28:19] Why? Because these militias
[00:28:23] today are fighting with the expertise
[00:28:26] of a Middle Eastern state, which is Iran, and this
[00:28:29] is no secret to anyone. They are fighting with information,
[00:28:33] fighting with modern weapons, fighting with everything
[00:28:36] that is available in Iran for one reason only:
[00:28:39] to seize the geography of Yemen that controls the Bab
[00:28:43] al-Mandab Strait. Yes, Professor Amin Al-Mushouli, the writer
[00:28:47] and political analyst, I thank you for this discussion and clarification.
[00:28:50] You were with us via video call. Thank you very much. Joining us now,
[00:28:54] dear viewers, is Dr. Muhammad Jumaih, our country's ambassador
[00:28:57] to UNESCO. Dr. Muhammad, welcome.
[00:29:00] Welcome. Welcome, Doctor. Doctor,
[00:29:02] the escalation by the Houthi terrorist militia, also supported
[00:29:06] by Iran. Today, the Houthis
[00:29:10] are challenging the internal and external forces and killing.
[00:29:13] and destroy and mean they strike
[00:29:17] everything without oversight or accountability. Where do
[00:29:20] you think this militia wants to take Yemen and the region
[00:29:24] in your opinion?
[00:29:26] Thank you very much, my dear brother. Greetings to you and your guest.
[00:29:30] And, of course, there is not much
[00:29:33] more to say about the terrorism
[00:29:37] and criminality of these militias against Yemen
[00:29:40] and Yemenis. I mean, now when you write or read
[00:29:43] or analyze any analysis about the terrorism of
[00:29:46] this militia, the simplest Yemeni citizen will tell
[00:29:50] you that we know that.
[00:29:53] Meaning that all Yemenis
[00:29:56] militias to the economic, political,
[00:29:59] security, and military interior, and to Yemen's international reputation and shipping
[00:30:02] lanes. But that is not the question. The question
[00:30:06] is what is the other side doing? This other
[00:30:09] side is the legitimate leadership and the legitimate government and legitimacy in general.
[00:30:13] And also, what is required from the international
[00:30:16] and regional community? This is the question that should be posed
[00:30:19] before us in legitimacy and before the region,
[00:30:23] because this militia is not doing anything new when
[00:30:25] it targets Yemenis inside or when
[00:30:29] it targets maritime shipping lanes.
[00:30:33] It also targets neighboring countries,
[00:30:38] deny that. In fact, it boasts about it. Before, it used
[00:30:42] to perhaps conceal
[00:30:46] its loyalty or its strong relationship or its affiliation
[00:30:49] with Iran. But today, it boasts, and the
[00:30:52] Yemenis all know, and the Arabs, that it is an Iranian
[00:30:56] arm in Yemen and an advanced unit of the Revolutionary Guard in the region.
