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