[00:00:00] between East and West
[00:00:07] That's why we always say Iran wants to close the Mandeb Strait. Can
[00:00:10] it do so? Let's ask this question. These militias
[00:00:13] serve the Iranian
[00:00:15] by you?" So imagine, agenda or Iranian power, but they don't have an army.
[00:00:20] the Iran has its forces in the Strait of Hormuz, and even in the Strait of Hormuz, it still
[00:00:23] uses long-range bazookas to strike
[00:00:26] ships. It doesn't even have the military power to control ships. We
[00:00:30] don't have anything after America struck it. The last strike, they said we struck
[00:00:33] the navy and air force. So how can Iran enter Yemen
[00:00:36] and take control of Bab el-Mandeb? The issue is called
[00:00:39] Iranian. Iranian experts can provide it to you easily, this and through
[00:00:43] UN planes, through this and that. Because one day, no one asked
[00:00:47] how Hassan Irlou, the deceased, entered Sana'a, and he was an ambassador.
[00:00:50] Who let him in? Which plane
[00:00:53] a new reality in Bab el-Mandeb, in this did he take? This question is always unanswered. And so do the experts now. And so does aid enter
[00:00:57] the hands of the Houthi gangs. That's why we say it's
[00:01:01] impossible. Even the radar that the Houthis
[00:01:04] are now thinking of installing, how will this radar device enter?
[00:01:07] What devices can it enter with? What
[00:01:10] are the ships that bring it the device? It will transport it from the mountain tops.
[00:01:14] That means there is international complicity that we must pay attention to. This international
[00:01:18] complicity wants to control Bab el-Mandeb in appearance.
[00:01:21] Yes. Or
[00:01:22] hand, this situation may continue what? Simply put, Trump
[00:01:25] said Abdel Malek al-Houthi called me and told me,
[00:01:28] "We are friends,
[00:01:30] and to be present in Trump, there is no need for you.
[00:01:32] America fabricated that
[00:01:38] remains in this The largest economy in the Arabian Peninsula governs out of nowhere, overnight." No. These are behind-the-scenes meetings in even Arab capitals.
[00:01:40] The Houthis meet with the Americans, and everything is
[00:01:46] has two dimensions. fine. All these false statements we exposed a long time ago. But
[00:01:49] most people don't believe it. Since the day of Stockholm, people
[00:01:53] realized that there is no benefit. Not from
[00:01:55] Stockholm, but from battles that were fought in some villages,
[00:01:59] and the external drones came and supported the Houthis,
[00:02:03] breaking the siege on them. This
[00:02:05] the continuation of this matter. Therefore, has been happening for a long time. Even in the resistance of the Houthis
[00:02:08] in Aden in 2015, when
[00:02:10] they were cornered, people didn't know that a drone, said to be American,
[00:02:14] would come and lift the siege. This
[00:02:17] trickery must be exposed to us.
[00:02:20] Compliments to a certain extent, but
[00:02:26] to monitor ships. the truth is that Iran is not the only beneficiary or the only
[00:02:30] one who can control Bab el-Mandeb. It is weaker than that. It can barely
[00:02:33] protect it. It can barely protect the Strait of Hormuz. It can barely.
[00:02:37] These are gangs supported
[00:02:40] locally, but the Yemeni people, how many of these gangs are there?
[00:02:44] And creating a lot of 2000? Million? Okay, Professor Hassan, you
[00:02:47] say that it's just a gang. This gang
[00:02:50] received weapons from
[00:02:53] Iran through smuggling. It received experts from
[00:02:56] Iran, and they manufactured weapons during the Iranian
[00:03:00] truce. And you
[00:03:03] saw in the recent meetings with also, in your speech, lead us to information that also talks
[00:03:06] arrival about the arrival of Iranian experts or from the Revolutionary Guard to an area
[00:03:16] there to monitor ships.
[00:03:18] These are attempts, of course. I
[00:03:20] with peace," and he tells them, "Enough, don't tell him something now. The struggle for the peaks at Bab el-Mandeb.
[00:03:24] That is, when were the peaks important? They were important when
[00:03:28] they were the highest point for armies. There was no aviation, so the peak became
[00:03:31] important. Today,
[00:03:33] Union so that the West would not aviation has made the peak a dwarf. Who said that mountain
[00:03:36] for peace, nor is he peaks cannot be shelled? Who said that if there is a base on a peak, it cannot be
[00:03:40] hit by aviation and wiped out? So the struggle for
[00:03:43] the peaks and making great
[00:03:46] a kind of sacrifices in it can change
[00:03:47] stability in this strategy by relying on direct aviation,
[00:03:50] manned drones, and unmanned drones,
[00:03:53] and not
[00:03:57] led by a number of losing many lives and so on to control the peaks. Just as the Houthis
[00:04:00] can be fought in any way, if they go to the peak, you shell them.
[00:04:03] That's why the radar device that they want, they say this,
[00:04:09] of it. And the Houthis are part of they want to install a radar device. From whom? From who brought them the device? I tell you,
[00:04:12] Iran cannot even bring such devices. Where do they get
[00:04:16] this device? Radar devices to control Bab el-Mandeb? Who provides
[00:04:20] them with this logistical and technical assistance? It must be
[00:04:23] advanced radar.
[00:04:26] Okay, Professor Hassan, even if I interrupt you, if there is support
[00:04:30] and agreements between Iran and some countries, some
[00:04:33] countries, especially as you mentioned, the United Nations. So what
[00:04:37] is America's interest in facilitating this for Iran to
[00:04:41] control Bab el-Mandeb, while
[00:04:44] and interferes in it is the biggest loser power depends on and the one that harms the countries of the East and the West also in Bab el-Mandeb? By
[00:04:47] the way, America also has an economic dimension. By the way, whoever says that
[00:04:50] America relies on the Red Sea, America does not rely on the Red Sea at all in
[00:04:54] its trade. It relies on the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean,
[00:04:58] and the Atlantic Ocean. 90% of its trade is there. This
[00:05:02] trade will obstruct Chinese trade. We must go to the Chinese
[00:05:05] dimension. The Red Sea relies on China and Europe. The trade
[00:05:09] route between China and Europe relies on Bab el-Mandeb, on the
[00:05:12] Red Sea. Today, 40 ships pass through
[00:05:16] Bab el-Mandeb. Today, barely ten
[00:05:19] pass. The Houthis say, "I allowed them. We don't restrict anyone." But people
[00:05:23] are afraid and say, "What? You are a gang. How can I pass
[00:05:28] today it has become a quarter or less than a quarter. China
[00:05:31] is the country that uses the Red Sea the most. It is all of Europe.
[00:05:34] That's why the existing trade. America doesn't
[00:05:38] care much about the Red Sea in terms of trade. You see it
[00:05:41] crossing a larger sea. Its trade is there, either from the Indian
[00:05:45] Ocean with Japan and the Eastern side, or from the Atlantic Ocean with
[00:05:48] Europe. This trade weight, even
[00:05:52] for Africa. But the Red Sea means
[00:05:55] it has military and political control.
[00:05:59] for the region. And we must not forget, people, we must not forget that this region is the Arabian
[00:06:03] Peninsula. The region
[00:06:05] is the birthplace of religions, the entire peninsula, and the Zionist global
[00:06:09] Masonic
[00:06:11] thinking also thinks about this region. No, no,
[00:06:15] let's not exclude this aspect. They think, they tell you, "We control the words." They
[00:06:19] tell you that there is such and such, intervening in your religion. So these
[00:06:23] dimensions, all of them, let's not forget them. All of them make a sound, and the pretext
[00:06:27] is Iran, and the call for Iran. Iran, Hezbollah,
[00:06:30] Al-Hashd, the Houthis have become tools to call
[00:06:33] for global colonialism. They are tools that called for global
[00:06:37] colonialism in this region. This region is intended to
[00:06:40] be controlled, whether culturally or economically.
[00:06:43] اقتصاديه
[00:06:48] the entire world. A strong economy exists, meaning a land filled
[00:06:51] with wealth, and what about Yemen? Our location and everything.
[00:06:55] The Silk Road passes through Yemen. So all these things,
[00:06:58] and America
[00:07:00] may also mean by this the Silk Road that China wants.
[00:07:03] So the issue also has other dimensions. Please. Yes, let me also direct the question
[00:07:07] to Dr. Ali Al-Khawlani. Doctor, you probably
[00:07:10] heard what Professor Hassan said
[00:07:13] about Bab el-Mandeb and about behind-the-scenes agreements between perhaps Iran
[00:07:16] and several countries, including Israel. What
[00:07:20] can you read from this angle? And do you agree with Professor
[00:07:24] Hassan in what
[00:07:24] he said?
[00:07:28] Of course, I agree with him on most
[00:07:32] of what he said. However, let's say that,
[00:07:36] firstly, when
[00:07:38] Khomeini
[00:07:40] arrived at the end
[00:07:44] of the seventies from France and came to
[00:07:46] Iran, he had a principle
[00:07:49] of exporting the Iranian Revolution. Exporting the Iranian Revolution.
[00:07:53] Of course.
[00:07:56] turmoil in neighboring countries
[00:07:59] so that Iran would dominate the region
[00:08:03] and its decision would be the decision.
[00:08:07] Of course, I say that
[00:08:11] when I mentioned Khomeini from
[00:08:14] France, there are a thousand lines under this
[00:08:19] from France. That is, France
[00:08:22] is an ally of the United States of America, and we
[00:08:25] know that
[00:08:28] the religion or political
[00:08:32] religion
[00:08:35] was used as an alternative
[00:08:39] to
[00:08:43] the Soviet
[00:08:45] turn into an enemy, an enemy to itself.
[00:08:49] Therefore, there was an understanding among the West that
[00:08:52] the Soviet Union would collapse with its socialist
[00:08:55] system, and therefore there must be an enemy
[00:08:59] that unites
[00:09:02] the Western powers. Therefore, political Islam
[00:09:05] was used. And of course,
[00:09:08] Al-Qaeda and its
[00:09:10] students.
[00:09:13] These are considered part of Sunni political Islam.
[00:09:16] And Iran with its system is considered part
[00:09:21] Shiite political
[00:09:24] Islam. This is one thing. The second thing is that I want to
[00:09:28] go back to 1983, when there was the first
[00:09:31] Gulf War, and Iran wanted to
[00:09:34] have weapons. And it got these
[00:09:38] weapons from America. Through whom? Through
[00:09:42] Israel, which supplied weapons to Iran
[00:09:45] to continue the war against Iraq.
[00:09:49] And this issue was known as Iran-Contra
[00:09:52] or Iran-Gate. It was a big scandal that the United
[00:09:56] States of America supplied Iran with
[00:09:59] weapons, despite the fact that there was a radical
[00:10:02] regime emerging and there was also
[00:10:06] a ban from America on delivering weapons
[00:10:09] to Iran. But they were supplied with weapons.
[00:10:12] This was also during the time of the American President Ronald
[00:10:15] Reagan. Also, we must
[00:10:18] address the
[00:10:20] issue of
[00:10:23] the New Middle East. Of course, Condoleezza Rice
[00:10:27] announced the New Middle
[00:10:30] East in Tel Aviv in 2006.
[00:10:34] She said that this New Middle East must protect the security
[00:10:38] of Israel and preserve American
[00:10:40] interests in
[00:10:45] region. And you know that
[00:10:48] the
[00:10:51] policies of this New Middle East began to be implemented, and their peak
[00:10:55] was in 2011,
[00:10:57] when chaos spread to a number of Arab countries,
[00:11:01] including Yemen, and national regimes were destroyed
[00:11:04] in these countries
[00:11:08] in favor of slogans of human
[00:11:10] rights, democracy, respect
[00:11:13] for minorities.
[00:11:28] The Houthis, or the Houthi militias, are a
[00:11:31] product of 2011.
[00:11:34] They were brought in by the squares, and now they, through
[00:11:38] a coup, began
[00:11:41] to, that is, they led
[00:11:43] the country through a coup and dragged
[00:11:47] Yemen into multiple wars,
[00:11:49] and we reached what we reached. And this is the goal now,
[00:11:52] doctor, to address the problem, to
[00:11:56] address. I will tell you, we cannot address, nor can we
[00:11:59] bring up past problems. Rather, we address the problem from
[00:12:03] its roots. Dr. Ali, I return with you to the topic
[00:12:06] of the episode. The problem now, the problem now
[00:12:11] The internal dimension in Yemen and the regional
[00:12:14] and international dimension that affects the issue of
[00:12:18] Bab el-Mandeb and the problem in Yemen.
[00:12:22] The internal dimension, we do not have a single military institution or a single political decision.
[00:12:36] Let me ask you an important question. Today, information
[00:12:39] speaks of the arrival of Iranian experts from the Revolutionary Guard
[00:12:43] to monitor, to install radars in
[00:12:46] Bab el-Mandeb, in areas near Bab el-Mandeb
[00:12:51] This Iranian support, Dr. Ali, how
[00:12:54] do you read it? From your point of view, has Iranian support for
[00:12:57] the Houthi militia shifted from logistical support to
[00:13:01] participation in imposing
[00:13:04] a new reality in Bab el-Mandeb, an Iranian reality? And what
[00:13:08] will result from that? My dear brother,
[00:13:11] I told you from the beginning that there is harmony
[00:13:14] and cooperation between the United States of America
[00:13:17] and Iran and the Zionist
[00:13:25] the speaker on many things. I gave you
[00:13:28] indications that there is
[00:13:31] cooperation. That is, the Iranian regime was supported
[00:13:35] from the beginning. Since it came, they facilitated
[00:13:38] the
[00:13:40] conditions for it until it was able to reach power in
[00:13:43] 1979. Then the Iran-Contra
[00:13:46] scandal and the statements
[00:13:48] of Condoleezza Rice that destroyed,
[00:13:52] that are currently being implemented. The New Middle
[00:13:55] East is being implemented through terrorist militias,
[00:13:59] including the Houthi militias that want
[00:14:02] to destroy the national state. So the international
[00:14:06] factor remains. We know that China wants there to be
[00:14:12] the region so that its trade can proceed
[00:14:15] and it can develop its economy. The United
[00:14:19] States of America is now
[00:14:22] new realists who emphasize
[00:14:25] the necessity of containing
[00:14:28] China or any country that may compete with the United
[00:14:31] States of America. Therefore, they made the Iranian
[00:14:35] functional system perform these
[00:14:39] matters
[00:14:42] and problems so that the United
[00:14:45] States of America remains present in the region
[00:14:48] and cuts off the path to China and Russia. Of course,
[00:14:52] China is also trying to defend itself
[00:14:56] and involve, working to involve
[00:14:59] and not a full-scale war.
[00:15:02] It wants to keep the current situation going so that the United
[00:15:06] States of America gets involved
[00:15:09] the Taiwan issue
[00:15:12] significantly. And also Russia may support
[00:15:15] the Houthis through Iran. Who facilitates Iran's airstrikes?
[00:15:18] Who facilitates for the Houthis? There are also
[00:15:21] industrial aggregates. Russia tried as much
[00:15:25] as possible to support Iran so that there would be
[00:15:29] no sudden intervention from the United States of America in the Ukrainian
[00:15:33] file. So the issue is a struggle
[00:15:38] over this region, this region that
[00:15:41] is considered important, especially for Europe,
[00:15:44] especially for Europe and the East. As for the United States of America,
[00:15:48] it has compensated for its oil through Venezuelan
[00:15:52] oil. But I also say that we must return
[00:15:55] to the popular will. We as Yemenis
[00:15:58] protect our country and try to unite
[00:16:02] the Ministry of Defense. It is not united, and it does not
[00:16:05] have one leader. We also unite
[00:16:08] the political decision. The Yemeni people know this matter.
[00:16:11] And the setback in the coast affected all Yemenis
[00:16:15] who were eager for the republican forces
[00:16:18] to enter Sana'a. Okay, Dr. Ali, a final question, and time is running out.
[00:16:22] Please answer me briefly. What is the most dangerous
[00:16:26] scenario for international navigation in light of imposing
[00:16:31] international passage? Of course, a wide-scale
[00:16:34] war is unlikely because
[00:16:38] the United States of America cannot
[00:16:41] risk more. There is a shortage of ammunition. There are
[00:16:45] also mid-term
[00:16:48] elections. Also, the allies of the United
[00:16:51] States of America are exposed to harm, especially
[00:16:55] in Europe. But on the other
[00:17:00] so that there is a justification for the United
[00:17:03] States of America to blackmail Saudi Arabia
[00:17:07] the region and cut off the path to China and Russia.
[00:17:11] And also, this region, this region
[00:17:15] situation until Israel is also present
[00:17:18] in northern
[00:17:21] Somalia. And the issue means blackmailing the region
[00:17:24] and trying to harm the region and trying
[00:17:28] to create more than one armed faction in a number of Arab
[00:17:32] countries until the national state is destroyed.
[00:17:35] And there is also fear for Saudi Arabia and
[00:17:39] the Arab Republic of Egypt from
[00:17:42] Saudi Arabia must ally with the stronger party
[00:17:46] within Yemen, which has popular support. And they know who the stronger
[00:17:50] party is and who has and who has. Saudi Arabia
[00:17:53] deals with the internationally
[00:17:56] recognized Yemeni government and with the Presidential Council.
[00:17:59] Dr. Professor Hassan, what is the message
[00:18:02] that should reach the international community
[00:18:05] and also regarding supporting Yemeni state institutions
[00:18:09] in their ability to secure waterways
[00:18:13] and protect their waters
[00:18:15] and coasts? Of course, our message of international
[00:18:19] support to the international community has already
[00:18:22] reached them before. But
[00:18:24] repeating it is that the support means, "Take your hands off
[00:18:28] and help the legitimate government from the pressures exerted
[00:18:31] on it, and remove the pressures from the legitimate government
[00:18:35] so that it can act freely." We
[00:18:40] President Rashad Al-Alimi that ambassadors from all
[00:18:43] Arab countries came. We did not hear
[00:18:50] time. We have already gone with peace for a longer period."
[00:18:54] It's as if they are telling him, "Continue
[00:18:58] pressure us. We have already done everything necessary
[00:19:01] for peace." It's as if he is telling them, he is telling them openly, "Let us deal with
[00:19:05] the issue militarily, because the Houthi has proven
[00:19:08] with time, even the future vision, that he is not
[00:19:14] one of the people who you can expect to keep their promises. He is from
[00:19:17] the same mold, because you cannot
[00:19:21] enter into peace with him. That's why the message to the outside world is,
[00:19:24] "Ease the pressures on us." This is the most important thing, and we will handle
[00:19:28] our affairs with the Houthi. No, the Houthi is not the only striking force. Where
[00:19:32] did he come from, and how did he emerge? It's known.
[00:19:36] And who helped him at first, and gave him weapons,
[00:19:40] and gave him everything? So the operation is known. But the Yemeni people,
[00:19:43] I mean, it's unbelievable that when he entered Aden and some areas like
[00:19:47] Taiz, ordinary citizens were able to
[00:19:50] kill the Houthi and defeat him and pursue him
[00:19:54] without weapons. And now
[00:20:04] we had entered the Houthi, the United Nations came and came. Before Griffiths
[00:20:08] came, they came to return the Houthi to his
[00:20:11] original position. And now the existing balance, more
[00:20:15] than half of the Houthi's international
[00:26:55] The International Organization for Migration announced the displacement of 23 Yemeni
[00:26:59] families last week from several governorates.
[00:27:51] the child with the weapon he saw with
[00:27:55] his colleagues, so he left and has not returned until today, and we
[00:27:59] do not know if he is alive or dead.
[00:28:40] Yemenis lived during the era of Imam Yahya and those
[00:28:44] who followed him in the depths of misery,
[00:28:47] disease, and backwardness.
[00:28:50] The people suffered under the power of the influential
[00:28:53] ruler, relying on what
[00:28:56] was spread about himself of superstitions,
[00:28:59] sorcery, and false miracles, until
[00:29:03] Yemen became outside international calculations
[00:29:06] and outside of time. So our people
[00:29:10] lived in deteriorating conditions, in which poverty,
[00:29:13] disease, and ignorance spread.
