From Development Illusions to the Reality of War

These days, fear has engulfed the entire Saudi kingdom. Mohammed bin Salman, who once boasted arrogantly of conquering Yemen in less than a week, now lives behind a wall of bodyguards.

According to Ambassador Arjan's report, Aghaz newspaper wrote: These days, fear and panic has engulfed the entire Kingdom of Al-Saud; Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi crown prince who once proudly and arrogantly spoke of conquering Yemen in less than a week, these days lives in his luxurious royal palace in Riyadh, surrounded by a fence of guards, and lives in fear of Ansarullah's missiles. The Wall Street Journal reported that Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is moving cautiously among fortified palaces equipped with bunkers, accompanied by handpicked security guards, as attacks in Yemen increase day by day. According to this American newspaper, Saudi officials say that the kingdom is on the verge of running out of interceptor missiles and is having trouble protecting its energy infrastructure and royal palaces.

As reported by the Wall Street Journal, Saudi Arabia is struggling with the lack of interceptor missiles and other air defense systems due to the recent daily and heavy missile and drone attacks by Ansarullah. Saudi Arabia is reportedly struggling to defend its entire airspace with adequate defense systems and is moving air defense batteries across the country to protect critical energy facilities as well as its palaces. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, accompanied by hand-picked bodyguards, is said to move discreetly between heavily guarded and bunker-equipped palaces. On Saturday, two Ansarullah cruise missiles managed to advance more than 800 kilometers in Saudi airspace; So that one of them was intercepted over the King Khalid International Airport and the other one hit the target. The issue of the lack of interceptor missiles has now become a central issue in Saudi Arabia. This shortage will lead to more attacks and hits by the Yemeni armed forces on key targets. At present, the future does not look very bright from the perspective of the Saudis.

What is clear is that the multi-billion dollar defense and defense systems that were once a symbol of invincibility in the showcase of Western arms exhibitions have now turned into ineffective tin cans in the face of Yemeni resistance projectiles. This technical inability to intercept Yemeni medium-range drones has not only challenged the military engineering of the West and especially the United States, but has also destroyed the security belief of Al-Saud; As if the patriots and other American toads are the only expensive spectators of the hits.

The Saudi oil arteries, which have been lubricating the gears of the global economy for decades, have now become an easy target for the Yemenis. Every pulse of the drone engines that rises from the mountains of Yemen, shakes the body of the energy exchanges and the hypocritical hymen of Riyadh. Neither the oil dollars nor the security guarantees of the White House can compete with the nightmarish precision of Yemeni missiles in targeting the vital infrastructure of Saudi Arabia. The luxurious corridors and towering palaces of Riyadh have become glass prisons for the young Saudi crown prince. He, who was once in the new Middle East under his leadership, is now counting down to the collapse of his security in the labyrinth of concrete walls and underground shelters; A bitter account of the strategic humiliation of a ruler who thought that by buying weapons, he could bind the will of the nations.

The balance of terror in the Hejaz peninsula is no longer an academic hypothesis, but a naked reality on the battlefield. The inability of the Saudi regime to intercept the Yemeni micro-birds and missiles shows a change in the security paradigm in the Persian Gulf. Where neither the geographical extent nor the strategic support of America and the West are anymore determining the political survival, but the operational intelligence and the boldness of the attack in depth have changed the equations in favor of the resistance sides and especially the Yemeni Ansarullah. While Riyadh's stockpile of interceptor missiles is running out, Washington also looks at its ally's struggles with skepticism; It is as if the traditional support of the United States to Al-Saud has now become a burnt investment in the face of the endless wave of retaliatory attacks in Yemen. The fear of the future has cast a heavy shadow on Bin Salman's decision-making table and put Riyadh in a position where it has no mid-term military strategy to get out of this quagmire.

Closing airports is more dangerous for Bensalman than cutting off oil

Saad Al-Faqih, a well-known Saudi figure who opposes the Saudi regime, said in response to the Yemeni missile operation in the Saudi market: the closure of the Riyadh airport is more dangerous for Mohammed bin Salman than the oil cut; Because it touches a sensitive point and reveals something that is difficult to hide. Oil may be able to hide its damage or reduce the effects of being targeted; But closing the airport is a tangible thing. According to al-Faqih, this is why Mohammed bin Salman insists on holding concerts and football matches in Saudi Arabia to show that the country is safe and life is going on!

Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the spokesman of the Yemeni armed forces, issued a statement on Sunday and repeated his warning to all airlines, experts, employees and passengers about using Saudi airports and airspace. In this statement, it is stated that these airports and the skies of Saudi Arabia, except for the airports of Mecca and Medina, are subject to being targeted and the field of operations of the Yemeni armed forces. The spokesman of the Yemeni armed forces also announced that they are determined to stabilize their announced equations regarding the airport against the airport, the blockade against the blockade and the escalation of tension against the escalation of tension, until the realization of their goals.

Yemen: We will not allow the Saudis to renew their forces

But in a situation where the Yemenis continue to implement their multiple equations with the aim of realizing their rights and ending the aggression and cruel siege of the Saudi coalition, Muhammad Al-Farah, a member of the political bureau of the Ansarullah Movement, announced during his speech that reaching a ceasefire and peace requires the Saudi criminal regime to be completely certain about the failure of its aggression and its inability to surrender the Yemeni people. Mohammad Al-Farah added: Sustainable peace cannot be established at the cost of losing the rights of the Yemeni people or turn into a temporary ceasefire, which will allow the repetition of aggression if the conditions and the balance of power change. Yemenis have spent many years calling for peace and demanding an end to the aggression and the blockade, but they have not received an answer. He emphasized: Therefore, Yemen came to the conclusion that in order to realize peace and take back its rights, it must resort to the option of force, and the aggressors must bear some of the suffering that the Yemeni people have been involved in and come to believe that they have to return the rights of the Yemenis.

The Yemeni official noted that Yemen's repeated calls for peace were not a sign of weakness or retreat, but rather a desire to end senseless aggression and alleviate the suffering of its people. But once again, we stress that a peace agreement that does not include a real examination of the causes and consequences of aggression is still doomed to failure, especially if the enemy sees the cessation of hostilities as an opportunity to renew their strength and resume the escalation of the situation in the future. Mohammad Al-Farah stated: The early end of the conflict, without the Saudis having a real belief in the failure of the military option, may lead them to interpret the cessation of hostilities as a result of temporary and transitory regional and international conditions, primarily the preoccupation of the United States and the Persian Gulf countries with other crises, instead of acknowledging the impossibility of Yemen's surrender.

This member of Ansarullah's political office said: Therefore, any peace agreement in the future must be fully guaranteed; Because agreements based on temporary calculations or changing balances have no guarantees and cannot protect people. In other words, real peace is achieved when an agreement is reached based on the mutual recognition of rights, respect for sovereignty and abandoning policies of imposing will by force. He added: There is a significant difference between the peace that is imposed on the basis of temporary necessities and pressures and the peace that results from the firm belief that aggressive wars do not achieve their goals and people's rights cannot be confiscated indefinitely.

Mohammad Al Farah noted: Therefore, if peace is achieved with delay, it is better than temporary peace. Arrogance and excessive trust in power may lead the Saudi regime to believe that it can make Yemen submit to itself without suffering the consequences of its actions. This Yemeni official said: But historical experience shows that having wealth, influence and military capabilities does not guarantee success; Rather, it can become a factor that fuels arrogance and miscalculations in the absence of a real understanding of the limits of power. In the end, he stressed that the Saudis should learn from history and put aside the logic of force and domination and respect the rights of the Yemeni people. While Yemen emphasizes the option of peace, it will not stop adhering to its rights and will continue to fight with trust in God until the rights are realized.
