00:03:31Yemen announced attacks targeting the Saudi capital Riyadh, one of those attacks
00:03:34caused a fire at King Khalid
00:03:37International Airport.
00:03:49Several explosions were heard and black smoke was seen rising

00:03:57a connection, at least between Yemen's Ansarullah also said it had attacked facilities belonging to Saudi
00:04:00energy giant Aramco in the city of Yanbu. This is the first
00:04:04time the Saudi capital Riyadh has been targeted by Ansarullah
00:04:08Yemen since the conflict flared up again last
00:04:11July. Yemeni Ansarullah military spokesman Yahya Sari
00:04:15stated that they had launched attacks with ballistic missiles,
00:04:19drones and cruise missiles.
00:04:22Iran's flagship that This is in response to Saudi air strikes in

00:05:26saudi.
00:05:29Ships are seen in the Gulf of Aden off the coast of Yemen. Yemen's
00:05:33Ansarullah extended their reach to the main maritime strategic point
00:05:36of the Bab El Mandeb Strait and threatened Saudi
00:05:40Arabian oil exports.
00:05:45Yemen also said they only target ships
00:05:48associated with Saudi Arabia, but a decrease in traffic
00:05:51has been reported over the past week.
00:06:10Viewers, the conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Yemeni Ansarullah
00:06:14resistance movement is escalating. Recently, missiles and drones from
00:06:17Yemen's Ansarullah reportedly attacked the Saudi capital
00:06:21Riyadh in retaliation for Saudi Arabian air strikes on Ansarullah
00:06:24Yemen bases. This escalation is predicted to further increase
00:06:28pressure on the global economy as a result of several
00:06:31blockades of strategic crude oil routes. Will the conflict
00:06:35between Ansarullah Yemen and Saudi Arabia be prolonged while the war between
00:06:38the United States, Israel and Iran has not yet ended? To discuss
00:06:42this, we are joined by Middle East analyst Hasibullah Satrawi.
00:06:46Good afternoon, Mr. Hasib, thank you for joining Metro
00:06:49today. Good afternoon, Ms. Marcel, thank you
00:06:53for the invitation.
00:06:55Well, Mr. Hasib, if we look at the escalation between
00:06:59Saudi Arabia and the Yemeni Ansarullah group, what is the impact
00:07:02on the stability of the Gulf region today?
00:07:04ini?
00:07:07Yes, of course, if we talk about the impact, then
00:07:10the escalation between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia will
00:07:14further add complexity, vulnerability, and
00:07:18at the same time, add, so to speak, to the burden
00:07:21of this war, because once again,
00:07:25this escalation is happening at a time that I
00:07:28describe as being like a football match, the war between
00:07:32Iran and America, I call it now entering the final
00:07:35minutes or the final moments in normal
00:07:39time before November. If we look at it from
00:07:42the beginning, Ms. Marcel, this is considered from February 28th,
00:07:46the war between Iran and America, let's break it down
00:07:49there. So Iran was left behind, but then
00:07:53managed to catch up, and eventually felt victorious.
00:07:56And in the remaining time like this, it then
00:08:00becomes a pressure for Iran, especially
00:08:03to immediately ensure victory in this normal time, because
00:08:06if it goes into extra time after November,
00:08:10I think it's very speculative. So it's not
00:08:13surprising that in the remaining time in normal
00:08:16time, I see both
00:08:20Saudi Arabia and the Houthis, I call it
00:08:24part of the escalation that happened in
00:08:27the final minutes of normal time, where
00:08:30from Iran's side, I see a shift in tactics from
00:08:33defensive to offensive, while from America's side, it
00:08:37also made a change in tactics by
00:08:41withdrawing or... submitting
00:08:43Israel from this war, and then what actually came
00:08:47to the surface was Saudi Arabia. Of course, it is indeed
00:08:50somewhat complex because Saudi Arabia's
00:08:54involvement in the war between the Houthis and Yemen
00:08:57becomes a kind of sub-conflict
00:08:59or becomes a separate conflict,
00:09:03but overall, I think we can still
00:09:06understand it as
00:09:09the actors and perhaps also... the strategy that the parties
00:09:13involved in the two major wars are trying to play,
00:09:16but then politically,
00:09:20I think it is deliberately tried to be separated by those
00:09:23who have an interest, for example from Iran's side, but politically
00:09:27also, they want this to be considered one, at least
00:09:31from Saudi's side, that shows me
00:09:34that this war is indeed separate
00:09:37chronologically, at least, because it has its own story,
00:09:40but in the current situation, it's like there's
00:09:44an orchestration strategically
00:09:47and tactically, so this will create
00:09:50stronger pressure on each opponent. For example,
00:09:54with the escalation happening in Houthi now, if for
00:09:58Iran, it can put stronger pressure
00:10:01on the United States, because that
00:10:04means it becomes a limitation of oil,
00:10:07a limitation of stronger access for the global community,
00:10:10which ultimately will impact America's domestic situation.
00:10:13Therefore, we can understand why the American side
00:10:17held direct meetings with the Houthis at a time when the Houthis
00:10:21themselves were fighting with Saudi Arabia, which is an ally
00:10:24of America. That's how it is, Ms. Marset.
00:10:27Yes, regarding the meeting earlier,
00:10:30with the United States and also Houthi, there was
00:10:34also a statement from the Trump administration that the United States reportedly
00:10:37would not interfere to support Saudi Arabia, which is
00:10:40its ally, including not providing military
00:10:43support. Do you think the United States' stance will
00:10:47be consistent, Mr. Hasib?
00:10:50Yes, that's also part of what I said earlier, the statements
00:10:54on the screen are almost the same as Iran's statement saying
00:10:57that the war between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis is their war,
00:11:01so it seems unrelated. This is similar to America's
00:11:05statement saying that it will not
00:11:07interfere in this war,
00:11:11especially since it has received a guarantee from the Houthis
00:11:14that they will not be attacked, even Israel will not be attacked.
00:11:18So, as I said earlier, on the surface, there seems to be an effort
00:11:22to separate one war from another,
00:11:25but behind the scenes, I strongly suspect that these parties are
00:11:29playing off each other to win their cards,
00:11:33to win their negotiations.
00:11:36Therefore, if we read the latest developments,
00:11:40it is reported that President Trump hastened his
00:11:43vacation, and this, once again, can lead to
00:11:47speculations about what will be decided in the future.
00:11:51There are three scenarios that are widely discussed by observers
00:11:55in the region. The first is that the current situation might
00:11:58persist until November, provided that there is no stronger
00:12:02pressure on America and Trump and the Republican Party
00:12:06who want to win the next election, or the second
00:12:09option is to escalate the war
00:12:12to be like the February 28th war, where the targets are more
00:12:16massive, and of course, we see Iran's statement,
00:12:19including showcasing public support.
00:12:23for involvement in a total war,
00:12:25which can be understood in that context. The third scenario
00:12:29is the possibility of attacks
00:12:32on Iran's nuclear facilities,
00:12:35which, once again, serves as proof for President
00:12:39Trump regarding the justification
00:12:43stated by President Trump repeatedly, that this
00:12:46option is taken to ensure Iran does not possess nuclear
00:12:49weapons, and with Iran's proven ability to counter American
00:12:53attacks, and even counter Israeli attacks,
00:12:57it is used as strong evidence to the American public that
00:13:01Iran is indeed a
00:13:04politically, President Trump wants to be
00:13:07justified by his public that his war is a
00:13:11war for heroism, which is to
00:13:14ensure peace and prevent Iran from possessing nuclear
00:13:17weapons. In that context, these three scenarios
00:13:21may develop in the next few
00:13:25hours, which are currently being widely discussed
00:13:28regarding President Trump accelerating
00:13:32his weekend vacation this week,
00:13:35Ms. Marsel. Yes, Mr. Hasib, besides the United
00:13:39States, Saudi Arabia is also reported to be
00:13:42opening communication with China with the hope that
00:13:46China will tell Iran to curb the Houthis
00:13:49now. Will this approach be
00:13:51effective?
00:13:54I think so. That's what I said, the complexity is
00:13:57extraordinary with Saudi Arabia or
00:14:00Saudi Arabia entering the arena, although I
00:14:04conveyed, Ms. Marcel, this is a result of a change
00:14:07in two tactics. So indeed, each has hopes, but
00:14:10also challenges. I call it a change in two tactics. If from
00:14:14Iran's side, I mentioned that Iran in these very
00:14:18decisive times has changed its tactics from defensive to
00:14:21offensive, and the development in Houthi with Saudi
00:14:25Arabia, I think, can be understood in that context, even if it's behind
00:14:28the scenes, because on the surface, at least they don't want
00:14:32to say there's a connection with this conflict, but behind
00:14:35the scenes, the escalation between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia is part
00:14:39of the change in tactics to offensive,
00:14:42including, so to speak, the new missile that is
00:14:47is reported to be able to hit American
00:14:50warships. That's a very fundamental tactical change
00:14:53that happened in Iran. Meanwhile, from the Saudi side, from the
00:14:57American side, I also see a very fundamental
00:15:00tactical change, even this happened not only now, but since
00:15:04July. That's why I call it, as of July, this war has
00:15:08entered its second chapter, where one of the very fundamental
00:15:12changes is the withdrawal of Israel's
00:15:15role or Israel's color in this war, so if we observe
00:15:19visually, at least from July until now, there are almost no
00:15:22more missile attacks between Iran and Israel, which, if
00:15:26linked to the war in the first chapter, Ms. Marcel, had a tremendous
00:15:30impact, namely the impact of legitimate support and
00:15:34what's it called, global community support, especially
00:15:37the Middle East, for Iran, because if Israel appears, what happens
00:15:41is that the public seems to agree, the world agrees
00:15:45that Israel has been committing violations of law,
00:15:48so it seems like Iran becomes a hero when attacking Israel. But
00:15:52when Israel disappears from the radar since July,
00:15:55there are no more attacks. The last time I recorded Israel being attacked
00:15:59was on June 8th, right? Because
00:16:02of the escalation that happened in Lebanon,
00:16:05what practically happened was this... is a civil war. This is what I
00:16:09mean, from the American side, as of July,
00:16:13it changed the nuance of this war, pushing this war to become a civil
00:16:17war in the region, even with the emergence of Saudi Arabia,
00:16:20as mentioned earlier, with the Houthis, not only civil war emerged,
00:16:24but also a nuance of sectarianism, which if
00:16:28we return to the conflict map in the Middle East, sectarianism
00:16:32can change a situation that initially, perhaps, people
00:16:35almost won, with the presence of
00:16:37sectarianism, it can experience a total change because of the
00:16:41strong factor and influence of sectarianism. Therefore,
00:16:44once again, with the emergence of the war between Saudi Arabia
00:16:48and the Houthis, there is a very strong sectarian nuance,
00:16:51a very strong new nuance that will also have an impact
00:16:55on the maps of support, for example, Saudi
00:16:59Arabia with China, people will at least see
00:17:02that China, which is considered successful in normalizing
00:17:06relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran in 2023,
00:17:09if I'm not mistaken, although, in my records,
00:17:13the changes in Saudi Arabia's stance, including
00:17:16the ceasefire with the Houthis, including reconciliation with
00:17:19Qatar in 2021, and then being able to
00:17:22restore relations with Iran, I consider that Saudi
00:17:26Arabia's foreign policy
00:17:29balance the change in the American regime or
00:17:32American administration from Democratic or from
00:17:36Republican to Democratic in 2022
00:17:39or 2021, which is from Joe
00:17:43Biden from Trump to Joe Biden, and we
00:17:46also see together how the status of the Houthis, let's not forget,
00:17:50the Houthis in Trump's time were indeed called a terrorist group,
00:17:54but in Joe Biden's time, they were cleared and were not considered
00:17:58a terrorist group, and then after Trump regained power,
00:18:01the Houthis became stamped as a
00:18:05terrorist group again. So, this is a development
00:18:09that countries in the region are trying to address,
00:18:12of course, for their respective national interests. Okay,
00:18:16Mr. Hasib, now we are talking about the impact, especially
00:18:19economically, because if we look at Saudi Arabia's oil exports,
00:18:23they are reportedly continuing to decline.
00:18:26Then also, when tensions in Hormuz have not subsided, there is
00:18:30a blockade in the Red Sea. How much is Saudi Arabia
00:18:33currently besieged, especially when the Houthis
00:18:37are said to be increasingly controlling the strategic Red
00:18:40Sea route?
00:18:42Yes, actually, if we want to read objectively, Ms. Marcel,
00:18:46the one that is besieged, choked, and hurt by this development
00:18:49is not only Saudi Arabia, not only, say, the Gulf
00:18:53Arab states, but also Yemen, also the Houthis, and even
00:18:56Iran. In another occasion, I likened the strategy
00:18:59adopted by America and Saudi
00:19:02Arabia and Iran lately to people choking each other,
00:19:06and that's strong. The power to withstand that choke.
00:19:09Therefore, I think we need to support
00:19:13a policy of common sense to be firmly held
00:19:16by all parties here, including our brothers
00:19:20in the Gulf, so that we do not
00:19:23get further drawn into an all-out war like this
00:19:27that actually sacrifices all our interests. When I
00:19:32the Gulf between the parties, in my opinion, their politics are very rational
00:19:36and in line with everyone's interests. Let's not forget that
00:19:39before the February 28th war, the Gulf
00:19:43countries recommended not to use the military
00:19:46option, although indeed the Gulf Arabs are often
00:19:49powerless in the face of America when confronting
00:19:53Israel. Israel emphasizes the military
00:19:56option, and Trump took that option, leading to various
00:19:59crises like the current one. Therefore,
00:20:03when this war cannot be controlled, I think
00:20:06rationality like this, which is the Gulf's stance,
00:20:09must be upheld so that it does not further escalate the conflict
00:20:13everywhere, involving many more parties and
00:20:16harming all groups, including in the context
00:20:19of national interests. We hope that
00:20:23the war between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia, and even
00:20:27perhaps between Iran and America,
00:20:30can be resolved, because actually, if we return to common
00:20:34sense, Iran's demands are not too exorbitant. Iran does not
00:20:37ask for a region to be controlled by them. Iran only asks
00:20:41for its rights, namely the right not to be attacked, the right to then
00:20:44be peaceful there and not be made a common
00:20:47enemy. I think these are
00:20:50rational demands and do not contradict any
00:20:53rules and laws. Therefore,
00:20:57if people now do not yet accept that, I think
00:21:00it's part of the politics of power that
00:21:04they are trying to show, but after 204 days, in my records,
00:21:07I think we should have reached the conclusion that power
00:21:11cannot always determine what we
00:21:14want. Politics, once again, can be a bridge
00:21:18bisa menjadi jembah.
00:21:21to ensure the greater interests of all parties
00:21:25compared to smaller interests. And once again,
00:21:28we can have a guideline, and we
00:21:32hope that the Gulf countries and Middle Eastern countries in general
00:21:35will continue to stand and adhere to that
00:21:38rationality so that it does not escalate further and destroy everyone's
00:21:42interests. Okay, finally, Mr. Hasib, so
00:21:45what intervention can de-escalate the conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis?
00:21:49Will this depend on the outcome
00:21:52of the Iran-America war resolution?
00:21:56If we use actor analysis about who is involved in this
00:21:59war, then I strongly suspect, however large
00:22:03the war between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis may be,
00:22:06it will not be as difficult as stopping the escalation
00:22:10in Lebanon, where it involves Israel and, say, Hezbollah
00:22:14there. Why? Because, say, Saudi Arabia and the Houthis, I suspect
00:22:18Saudi Arabia will closely heed what America
00:22:22advises. The same goes for the
00:22:25Houthis. I
00:22:28Iran asks for will be heeded and taken
00:22:33a deal is reached between the main actors,
00:22:37Iran, America, and Israel. Indeed, the obstacle,
00:22:40once again, is Israel, especially in Lebanon.
00:22:43In reality, the agreements that have been reached,
00:22:46including the initial memorandum of understanding
00:22:50on June 18th last year, were broken
00:22:53because what? Because there was no power that could
00:22:56subdue Israel. So I think if this is
00:23:02a deal between Iran and America is
00:23:05likely to lead to the Houthis and Saudi Arabia also being asked
00:23:09to be mediated so that they do not
00:23:12continue and do not become too much of a challenge. The challenge
00:23:15now is Israel, because if it is pampered, it will
00:23:19give very strong loyalty to Trump, especially to
00:23:22America. But as soon as its wishes are not granted, it is ready
00:23:26to become, what's it called,
00:23:30to put up resistance, and that's what Netanyahu has often said in the last
00:23:33few times, what his ministers, especially from the hardline
00:23:37faction, have said, Ms. Marcel.
00:23:41Okay, thank you Mr. Satrawi, Middle East analyst, for joining
00:23:44Metro today. Viewers,
00:23:47Zionist Israel attacked Gaza City again
00:23:51on Saturday local time, at least one person
00:23:54died in this attack.
00:24:22The Zionist Israeli attack targeted a car in the Sheikh Radwan
00:24:26neighborhood in northwest Gaza City, residents were seen
00:24:28trying to put out the fire by throwing dirt. According
00:24:32to Palestinian media, one burned body was found
00:24:35inside the vehicle. Ambulances took
00:24:39the injured and the burned body to Al-Shifa
00:24:41Hospital. The Palestinian Ministry of Health stated on
00:24:45Saturday that hospitals in the area had received 4 bodies and
00:24:4917.
00:25:02We were contacted by the joint operations room of the medical services
00:25:05about a bombing at the location, Sheikh Radwan, First Street, near Abu Jabara
00:25:09supermarket. We immediately went to the location, there was a bombing
00:25:13at the location. Three wounded cases were extracted by
00:25:16medical services officers, and
00:25:28children in Gaza returned to school as the new school
00:25:31year began. They returned to
00:25:35severely damaged and lacked basic equipment.
00:25:51For many children in Gaza, the military escalation forced them
