00:00:39The war confrontation in West Asia has reached a critical
00:00:43turning point after Tehran's formal rejection of the ceasefire
00:00:47proposal presented by Washington processed through the mediation of Iraqi
00:00:50Prime Minister Ali Al- Saidi, whose nation, Iraq,
00:00:54is suffering a severe deterioration in its relations due to recent
00:00:57Anglo-American and Saudi bombings against the popular
00:01:01mobilization forces and Iraqi infrastructure in
00:01:04Kerbala. At the same time, the armed forces of Yemen,
00:01:07under the Ansarullah movement, have reactivated their military
00:01:11operations with ballistic missiles and drones against Saudi oil
00:01:14infrastructure in Jizan and Yanbu, as a
00:01:18direct response to the siege and bombing of Saudi Arabia and the United
00:01:22States on the port of Hodeidah in
00:01:25Yemen. In the geopolitical sphere, analysts highlight
00:01:28the evident double standard of US
00:01:31diplomacy, because while Washington
00:01:39truth is that more than 40% aggression impacted bases of the strangles the Iranian economy under severe sanctions and inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency,
00:01:41it simultaneously accelerates with Saudi Arabia the 123
00:01:45agreement for 30 years of civil nuclear cooperation, and this
00:01:49pact will allow the processing of uranium on Saudi soil and
00:01:52respond to the interests of the Pentagon to continue
00:01:55destabilizing peace in the region. The asymmetric
00:01:58response of the axis of resistance
00:02:00set for the definitive has paralyzed passage through the Strait of Bab al-Mandeb,
00:02:03forcing the diversion of 12% of the world's maritime crude oil trade,
00:02:26according to regional media in West Asia.
00:02:30Exactly, the Saudi objective was to intercept and
00:02:33block the landing of a civil flight from
00:02:37Iran. Faced with this aggression, the Political Bureau of
00:02:41Ansarullah has condemned the attack on Sana'a International
00:02:44Airport, and at the same time called on the United
00:02:497:30 in the morning, Nations and the international community to fulfill their responsibility regarding
00:02:52the blockade that Yemen has suffered since 2015 by
00:02:56the Saudi Kingdom. Faced with the aggression of Saudi
00:03:00Arabia, the Yemeni army retaliated by
00:03:03firing several ballistic missiles towards the southern
00:03:07region of the Arab country, specifically
00:03:10against Abha airport. The President of the
00:03:13Supreme Revolutionary Committee of Yemen,
00:03:17Mohamed Al-Houthi, stated that the bombing of
00:03:20Yemen and its siege by the American-
00:03:24Saudi aggressors over the years
00:03:27has not prevented our nation and our forces
00:03:30from defending themselves and advancing. The longer
00:03:34the battle lasts, the more our power
00:03:37will increase. On July 25, the
00:03:40armed forces of Yemen reported two major
00:03:43military operations targeting sensitive oil
00:03:47refineries in two Saudi cities located on
00:03:51the Red Sea, known as Jizan and Yanbu.
00:03:54The operations against the proliferating
00:03:59the absolute subordination installations were carried out with ballistic
00:04:01missiles and drones, a direct response to Saudi
00:04:05airstrikes on the strategic Yemeni
00:04:08port of Hodeidah. Following Saudi Arabia's
00:04:11recent escalation against the Yemeni nation
00:04:14on July 30, the leader of the Ansarullah
00:04:18that operate in the region, movement, Sayed Abdul Malik Al-Houthi,
00:04:21denounced that Riyadh defends the interests of
00:04:24Tel Aviv and Washington in the region.
00:04:28Thus, the role is for some systems,
00:04:32mainly among them Saudi
00:04:34the rigorous application Arabia, because with its capabilities it plays an
00:04:39America what it failed important role in the service of Zionism, in the service of the United States and Israel,
00:04:42on the one hand, and on the other hand, its role at the
00:04:46general level in the Islamic nation, because it seeks
00:04:50to present itself as someone concerned about the reality of the entire
00:04:53Islamic nation, but at this level of activity, interest
00:04:57and intervention in the affairs of these peoples. It does so under the
00:05:00American umbrella, Israeli, Zionist
00:05:04and in the American service, under direct American
00:05:08supervision. In this case, this rebound led to an aggressive
00:05:11and unfair approach for Saudi Arabia. The aggression that
00:05:15Riyadh has undertaken against Yemen, taking into account
00:05:19this characteristic, does not constitute an isolated event at all, but rather
00:05:22is linked to that history, so it is the desperate
00:05:26activation of a mechanism that is subordinated to that security
00:05:30architecture with Washington, that is, it is a
00:05:33mandate from the United
00:05:34States
00:05:37to attack Yemen and attack Iran and confront
00:05:41all those who represent the
00:05:44fight against oppression and against
00:05:47hegemonism, the Western invasion of that
00:05:51region. What the Saudi regime seeks is
00:05:54desperately to neutralize those
00:05:57emerging poles by mandate of the United
00:05:59States,
00:06:03that is the correlate of Zionism in the region,
00:06:06so it acts as a gendarme at the
00:06:10command of imperial interests. These are the reasons,
00:06:14no, and it is Yemen's asymmetric
00:06:17deterrence capability that has broken
00:06:21this hegemonic
00:06:24power. While Washington and the Saudi
00:06:27Arabian government formalize the 123 agreement for 30
00:06:31years of civil nuclear cooperation, allowing the processing
00:06:33of uranium on Saudi soil, without strict safeguards from the
00:06:37International Atomic Energy Agency, Iraq
00:06:40enters maximum alert after a joint US and Saudi attack
00:06:44on its territory. This
00:06:48popular mobilization forces and a convoy of pilgrims in Kerbala,
00:06:51leaving dozens dead and wounded. In response, the Islamic
00:06:55resistance threatened inevitable retaliation against US
00:06:59targets on Saudi soil and gave an ultimatum
00:07:02to the Baghdad government until August 7 to demonstrate
00:07:06its ability to defend national sovereignty by the deadline
00:07:09of September 30
00:07:13withdrawal of foreign troops.
00:07:16After years of hostilities and interference with its
00:07:19territorial sovereignty, the Iraqi government categorically
00:07:23announced the establishment of the deadline set
00:07:26for the completion of the withdrawal of the international
00:07:30military delegation and US troops.
00:07:33Tensions escalated to their most critical level after
00:07:37air offensives endorsed by Washington
00:07:40impacted official facilities of the popular
00:07:44mobilization forces in provinces such as Baghdad,
00:07:48Wasit, Nineveh, Basra, Kirkuk,
00:07:51Diyala and Kerbala, even affecting pilgrims
00:07:54from the Holy City. In direct response to the
00:07:57aggression, the coordination framework and the National
00:08:01Security Council, in an emergency meeting chaired
00:08:04by Prime Minister Ali Al-Saidi, condemned
00:08:08any aggression and rejected turning
00:08:11Iraq into a scenario of regional conflicts,
00:08:15instructing the foreign ministry to take legal action
00:08:18before the United Nations organization in accordance
00:08:22with international law. Also, last Thursday,
00:08:25July 30, Iraqi military spokesman
00:08:29Sabah Al-Numan categorically denied
00:08:32that Iraqi territory had been used to
00:08:36carry out attacks against Saudi Arabia, stating
00:08:39that there is no evidence that attacks have been
00:08:43launched from Iraqi territory towards Saudi
00:08:46Arabia, and emphasizing that the government
00:08:49will not allow unilateral actions or weapons outside the control
00:08:53of the state. Now, look,
00:08:57this incursion and bombing
00:09:00perpetrated by Riyadh against Iraqi territory
00:09:04eh, evidences that symbiosis I'm telling you about,
00:09:07and it's
00:09:11of the Saudi monarchy to the agenda of the Pentagon's
00:09:15power. So, by striking Iraq,
00:09:18by striking Iraq,
00:09:21Saudi Arabia seeks to destabilize the
00:09:24deep, the logistical and operational depth
00:09:27of the resistance movements
00:09:31which, by the way, these resistance
00:09:33movements in Iraq have
00:09:37stood up
00:09:39to the Iraqi government and demanded,
00:09:43even giving it a deadline to respond, to eradicate
00:09:46US bases from there.
00:09:49Simultaneously, US
00:09:52diplomacy has intensified
00:09:55its pressure on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to force
00:09:58its formal integration into the Abraham Accords,
00:10:01which include peace pacts to normalize diplomatic,
00:10:05commercial, and security relations.
00:10:08Saudi Arabia seeks the development of civil
00:10:12energy infrastructure, allowing the entry of
00:10:15commercial uranium with assistance and technology from
00:10:19North American companies. If
00:10:22you realize, with the agreement with Saudi Arabia,
00:10:26they give them all the facilities, that is to say,
00:10:29on the one hand, just so you see it's a tremendous
00:10:33power struggle, on the one hand, you demand
00:10:36denuclearization from Iran, very strong
00:10:40inspection by the International Atomic Energy Agency,
00:10:43with that Argentine, Rafael Grossi, who is pro-Israel,
00:10:46and on the other hand, you have that the agreement
00:10:50with Saudi Arabia was very generous
00:10:54because it was a direct agreement with the United
00:10:57States that did not require either the non-proliferation
00:11:01treaty or the restrictions that other countries have,
00:11:05as is the case of Iran. So on the one hand,
00:11:07you demand denuclearization
00:11:09and on the other, you don't allow Iran things that
00:11:13you will allow Saudi Arabia, and you are nuclearizing
00:11:16also nuclearizing the Middle
00:11:20East, because I don't think Egypt will stand
00:11:23idly by, nor Turkey, when you already have
00:11:27a border with Iran like Pakistan, which does have 170 nuclear
00:11:30bombs. Parallel to this military escalation, US
00:11:34diplomacy intensifies its pressure on Saudi Arabia to
00:11:37force its integration into the Abraham Accords with Israel,
00:11:41granting it exceptional atomic concessions
00:11:45through the 123 agreement, without rigorous control from the
00:11:49International Atomic Energy Agency. Washington's double-standard policy
00:11:53is evident when contrasting the privileged treatment of
00:11:56Saudi Arabia compared to the situation of Iran, a nation
00:12:00it subjects to suffocating sanctions and constant military
00:12:04threats to prevent its nuclear development, despite
00:12:07being a signatory to the non-proliferation treaty and
00:12:11under continuous inspection by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
00:15:54The leader of Yemen's Ansarullah movement, Sayed
00:15:58Abdul Malik Al-Houthi, denounced that Saudi Arabia
00:16:02has prevented the development and production of oil in
00:16:04Jawf and Mahra provinces. Al-Houthi affirmed that as long
00:16:08as the country's economic resources remain under the control
00:16:12of the Saudi Arabian regime, the Yemeni population will remain
00:16:15mired in poverty, so he warned that he would
00:16:18continue to confront these acts of subjugation.
00:16:21As a retaliatory measure against the aerial and maritime
00:16:25siege imposed by the Saudi forces, the Yemeni army
00:16:28blocked the transit of Saudi oil and merchant ships in the
00:16:32Bab al-Mandeb Strait. Likewise, Yemen's Foreign
00:16:35Ministry denied rumors about a supposed attack
00:16:39on a ship in an Egyptian port, clarifying that its
00:16:42military actions respond exclusively to the blockade
00:16:46and aggression of the Saudi regime. On July 31,
00:16:49Yemen's Foreign Ministry made it clear that navigation
00:16:53in the Red Sea is safe and there is no justification
00:16:57for the fears that the Saudi regime is trying to sow
00:17:01in the region to get out of its difficult situation
00:17:04for supporting the interests of the White House.
00:17:07Amidst the hostilities, the head of Sana'a's
00:17:11negotiating delegation, Mohamed Abdul
00:17:14Salam, announced that Saudi Arabia
00:17:18must understand that the safest way to achieve
00:17:21security is to end the aggression and lift the
00:17:25blockade. The Saudi regime must assume
00:17:28full responsibility for the aggression and the blockade
00:17:32it has imposed. In line with Mohamed,
00:17:36the leader of the movement
00:17:41denounced Saudi Arabia's siege of Yemen and took
00:17:44retaliation by blocking Saudi vessels in
00:17:47the Red Sea. This is
00:17:50how the Saudis behave these days. They say they
00:17:54are not besieging the Yemeni people. So, why
00:17:57was Sana'a airport bombed with American
00:18:00missiles, by American aircraft, and under
00:18:03American supervision? Why did they do
00:18:06that? Was it not in the context of the
00:18:09siege? Yes, the matter is clear, the Saudis
00:18:13seek to intensify the siege, therefore, our
00:18:16direction as the Yemeni people was expressed by our
00:18:19people and demonstrated to the whole world in their warning
00:18:22meeting. The call to arms is a directive
00:18:26that is framed within the correct posture, the necessary,
00:18:30inevitable and unavoidable posture, no matter how
00:18:33much we remain silent, Saudi Arabia will not change
00:18:37its posture for humanitarian or inhumane reasons,
00:18:40they enjoy the suffering of our people, when they see
00:18:43the suffering, when they see the cancer, when they see
00:18:47that they are dying because they cannot receive treatment
00:18:50because of them, because flights are suspended and
00:18:53prohibited, airports are closed because Saudi
00:18:57Arabia is in control, it is the Saudi who
00:19:00prevents it, it is the one who besieges.
00:19:03When our beloved people initially turned their position,
00:19:07whoever assisted maritime navigation of oil tankers linked
00:19:11to Riyadh through the Strait of Bab al-Mandeb
00:19:15by diverting Saudi exports through Egypt
00:19:19and the Suez Canal, passing by the Cape
00:19:22of Good Hope off the coast of Africa and continuing
00:19:26to the Indian Ocean towards Asian countries,
00:19:29would take about 54 days, which implies
00:19:33a significant increase in shipping costs, estimated
00:19:36at approximately 2 million
00:19:40dollars per cargo, while if the route
00:19:43through the Strait of Bab al-Mandeb is used,
00:19:47it would only take 24 days to destinations
00:19:50such as South Korea at a lower cost. This sovereign
00:19:54practice of Yemen in blocking the Strait of
00:19:56Bab al-Mandeb and striking the neuralgic
00:20:00interactions of the Aramco company, which, by the way,
00:20:03was born, as I already said, in 1945, that is a
00:20:07corporation. This shows, then,
00:20:12of that doctrine I have been mentioning,
00:20:15which is asymmetric deterrence and strategic
00:20:18self-defense. So you can imagine
00:20:22that by blocking that 12% plus, they
00:20:26put in check the
00:20:30US power and hit it where it
00:20:34hurts the most. As we have said,
00:20:37the operational blockade in the Strait of Bab al-Mandeb
00:20:41has forced the diversion of more than 12% of the world's
00:20:44crude oil trade, pushing the price of Brent crude
00:20:48above $87 per barrel, with a cumulative
00:20:51increase of more than 15%. At the same time, liquefied
00:20:55natural gas in Europe rose 20%, an energy escalation
00:20:59that directly impacts the cost of food, electricity,
00:21:03and the basic basket, so the World Bank projects
00:21:06a 0.4 point cut in global GDP growth
00:21:09due to inflation. Amidst this scenario, the
00:21:12Humanitarian Operations Coordination Center in Sana'a, Yemen,
00:21:16denied rumors about charging maritime tolls in the area,
00:21:19confirming that transit through the Bab al-Mandeb
00:21:22Strait remains free and there are no plans to impose
00:21:24future fees. According to reports from
00:21:28Bloomberg and the Financial Times, the logistical
00:21:31paralysis in the Red Sea keeps global
00:21:35energy supply chains under strong tension,
00:21:38affecting the usual transit of 8.8.
00:21:41The situation was categorized as a critical distribution
00:21:44failure, generating a 12% jump in
00:21:47maritime freight rates. This increase
00:21:50is due to the forced diversion of oil tankers
00:21:54around the Cape of Good Hope, which adds thousands
00:21:58of nautical miles to each trip and saturates
00:22:01the operational capacity of hydrocarbon transportation.
00:22:05All these cuts, in addition to affecting
00:22:08oil, are affecting the fertilizer market.
00:22:12Uh, a large amount of fertilizer is produced
00:22:16in the region, which is a gas derivative, urea in particular.
00:22:20The thing is that if 20% of the world's oil and
00:22:24another 14% pass through these two straits, the
00:22:29of the world's urea passes through these areas.
00:22:33If fertilizers cannot reach the markets, food security
00:22:37will be seriously affected. International
00:22:39agencies confirm that the structural delay of
00:22:43ships pressures the operating costs of heavy
00:22:46industry and electricity generation in Europe
00:22:50and Asia, threatening to freeze activity
00:22:53in manufacturing sectors dependent on gas.
00:22:57At the macroeconomic level, the prolongation of routes
00:23:00has triggered logistics consumption, demanding
00:23:04an additional 350,000 barrels of diesel per
00:23:08day for bunkers. This operational overload
00:23:12pressures general inflation, threatening to keep consumer
00:23:15price indices above the 2% annual
00:23:19target set by the main monetary
00:23:21authorities. In the retail market, gasoline in
00:23:25the United States climbed to an average of
00:23:28$4.10 per gallon, with projected
00:23:31ceilings of $4.55. Firms like Goldman
00:23:33Sachs
00:23:36warn that if the vulnerability in the area
00:23:39persists in the last quarter, the risk
00:23:42premium could set Brent between $120
00:23:46and $150 per barrel, pushing
00:23:50importing countries towards a technical
00:23:53recession. This blockade, uh,
00:23:56well, you see,
00:23:59it's a tool,
00:24:03this artery, this Yemeni
00:24:06maritime artery, when it is drastically
00:24:09interrupted, the supertankers, well, those container
00:24:12ships, those ships have to, as I said,
00:24:15go around and lose
00:24:18a lot of money in
00:24:21that going
00:24:24around Africa to get there.
00:24:27So that creates an inflationary spiral, a
00:24:31structural crisis in the West.
00:24:34This, this, this creates an excessive
00:24:37increase in freight costs, in maritime insurance,
00:24:41in energy, it inevitably translates
00:24:44into acute inflationary pressures for all Western
00:24:48consumers, and I think that is the most powerful
00:24:52weapon that the axis of resistance, Iran, Yemen,
00:24:55Iraq, etc., has. Well, evidencing
00:24:58the unviability of an imperial economic model that can no longer
00:25:01guarantee global stability through coercion
00:25:04or military coercion or colonial plunder.
00:25:08So we are witnessing the defeat,
00:25:10a historical defeat of
00:25:13imperialism, an imperialism that will come
00:25:16from West Asia with its tail between its
00:25:19legs to want to do in what
00:25:22it considers its backyard, Latin America and the Caribbean,
00:25:25to try to do in Latin
00:25:29to do and where it was totally defeated in West
00:25:32Asia. Consumer countries are evaluating
00:25:35releasing up to 400 million barrels of strategic
00:25:39reserves. However, the specialized firm Restat
00:25:42Energy points out that the central problem does not lie
00:25:46in production, but in logistical distribution capacity.
00:25:50BloombergNEF data shows that global investments in
00:25:54exploration and refining fell 0.5% in
00:25:572026, limiting immediate alternatives to replace
00:26:01cargoes trapped or delayed in the Red Sea passage.
00:26:04Tehran's refusal to accept a US-brokered ceasefire,
00:26:08coupled with the military response of the axis of resistance
00:26:11in Iraq and Yemen, confirm that the crisis
00:26:15in West Asia has ceased to be a localized conflict
00:26:18and has become a geopolitical fracture of global scope.
00:26:21The Anglo-American and Saudi strategy of subjugating
00:26:25the region through blockades, bombings, and unilateral
00:26:29interventions has clashed head-on with asymmetric
00:26:32of organized peoples, far from achieving the neutralization of emerging
00:26:36poles, the interference of the White House and the Saudi
00:26:39monarchy have accelerated the destabilization in neuralgic
00:26:43points, dynamiting the traditional security architecture and
00:26:47reconfiguring defensive alliances throughout the global
00:28:56Good evening, welcome to a new installment of Telesur
00:29:00Noticias, an informative tour of what is happening in Latin America and the
00:29:03world, let's look at our
00:29:05headlines.
00:29:08With the aim of strengthening resistance against imperialist
00:29:12aggressions in the Global South, delegates from all over Latin America and the
00:29:16Caribbean are meeting in
00:29:17Cuba.
00:29:24During a working day, the National Executive reviewed.
