yes, and as you sa , auoin saudi led coalition. ay. going on for— saudi led coalition. yes, and as you say, going on for years, _ saudi led coalition. yes, and as you say, going on for years, intense - saudi led coalition. yes, and as you say, going on for years, intense air| say, going on for years, intense air strikes by the saudis, and we should say that a huge cost, the civil war in yemen and the bombing campaign by saudl in yemen and the bombing campaign by saudi. there is a humanitarian crisis in yemen itself but what's the saudis did, they thought they could bring the houthis to heal and they haven't been able to so i do not think that would night a bombing is going to do that again. thank not think that would night a bombing is going to do that again.— is going to do that again. thank you very much- — joining me now is gina abercrombie—winstanley, president of the middle east policy council in washington. she was us ambassador on that us security council and was deputy coordinator for counterterrorism over president obama. w

these were radars and these were military installations that used to exist there, prior to the saudi coalition. war in 2015 once that war was launched and once once saudi lad coalition bombarded all of these military facilities the military airbase was cleared and all all of the old military bases have been cleared of most of the weapons and especially the radar systems and uh the uh battery missile systems that enable ansada law to launch ballistic missiles so that's you know the latest reports haven't been confirmed however what we do know is that the us has conducted series of attacks on yeman in more than uh four many provinces. they attacked the the attack last night of the yemani soldiers that were stationed in the uh alanad military base, it was the attack that happened at uh 3:30 last night and the one before that happened at 2:30 the night before that, so we're seeing this routine of us and british military attacks targeting uh... modelal law's military capability so that once these radars or if these radars are destroyed, if yemen's air defense system is disabled, then the us coaliti

scenes of heavy clashes between 2015 and 2018, considering the military superiority of the saudi lead coalition and complete support by the us, gradually the ports near babandab and the red sea like alkha, moka and dubab got out of the ansur's control. "it may be saudi planes that are dropping the bomb, but they are us bombs. it is us assistance that provides the targeting. the uae and forces under its command in southern yemen were dreaming about gaining control over the western coast of yemen, and early 2018, launched a massive operation to capture al-hodeda port on the red sea coast, but yemen's army put up a stiff resistance at the gates of the city." and inflicted heavy loss on the coalition forces. the coalition and other forces had to retreat. after a while, the sanhab based government and the former government signed the stockholm peace agreement. a huge disruption should any point, the babel mendeb, by virtue of the houties, who are the rebels in yemen, will discuss them in a minute, should they decide somehow to control the? of maritime traffic to here, huge disruptions to the global

, nothing new here, same um same situation, the only difference right now is instead of the saudi lab coalition uh doing the bombing, it's the uh us and the british government, the ones who were sponsoring and aiding the uh saudi lad coalitions war in bombardment on yemen, so um yes you mentioned five yemen provinces had been hit and there has been reports of paying them back the favor by launching ballistic missiles and unmanned drones towards uh us uh military targets in the red sea uh of course the leader of yemen's revolution sayid he mentioned he gave a speech earlier today where he mentioned that um any attacks by the us they're going to be met with brute military force and he uh mentioned that us military bases are going to be targeted throughout and across the entire region so it's not just going to be, it's not going to be uh us military targets stationed patrolling in the red sea, we're talking about any presence of of us military bases throughout the region, according to the onsutle officials, they're going to be targeted, a report that just came in a us official speaking on the cond

some of these countries practically refuse to be named in this new coalition, such as the uae and saudi arabia. i believe that basic measures will not be taken in this coalition, and even they have no hope of controlling the red sea by the united states and its allies. what do you think? i think that this coalition in this asymmetric war can achieve its goal of securing the safety of sailors in the red sea. i can't until that point this is how they admit the weakness of americans on live air. the american defense minister was asking the houthis to stop these attacks. see, in my opinion, this is a sign of the weakness of the biden administration. more signals of weakness given by the government should be signals of strength. their news line turned the zionist challenge into the challenge of the world economy. industrial halls of europe from. all european countries , which are for asian countries, must pass through this strait, and if they don't want to bypass this strait , they have to travel about 14 to 15 thousand additional miles and need a lot of energy , which means they have to byp

that it was trump who actually uh listed the ansarullah as a terror organization uh during the saudi led coalition war on yemen but what there was no result uh for that uh decision and at the end yemani army has break saudi arabia and united arab emirates and they have actually forced them to stop the war and now they are launching a war against against israel, this is i mean united states should learn uh from their mistake. that yemani will not hesitate, as the spoke person of yemani army have said, will not hesitate to continue targeting uh uh israeli linked ship or ships that going toward the israeli port unless the blue cate is been lifted uh against gazza and the war uh to stop against gazza and the genocide must stop and food and medicine uh must be allowed to enter gaza and whatever is needed for the palestinian people, this is a simple solution, united states doesn't... i mean it doesn't matter here for sanha forces about being called a terrorist organization, because as they say one man terrorism terrorist is another man freedom fighter, that's why i believe that many attack will come and

united states to use uh their country to launch our against yemen and after eight nine years of saudi coalition war against yemen were you surprised husse saying that the saudis were one of the first countries to come out and say that they're very concerned about the us and uk strikes on yemen that they urged restraint they don't want to see this lead to escalation of the conflict and these are the saudis. talking about, i mean, i was kind of surprised myself, what was your initial uh reactions to that? uh, because to be honest, the saudi, they are afraid and they are they have been maybe under pressure from the united states to join this so coalition uh, just imagine they were in a coalition with united arab emirates, supported by united states launching a war uh for almost nine year, but when it come to a coalition, as they say the prosperity guardian, uh, saudi arabia, united arab emirates has refused. uh to enter this coalition because they have actually they have they got burned uh from yemen and they know what yemen uh gonna do uh that's why this statement is show you that really yemen is

september of 2014, the emini forces reached the port of aiden, the last bastian supported by the saudi led coalition in march 2015 and became the dominant force in the strategic. saudis did not have the power to rest back control over yemen by the anserla, so they asked arab rulers in the persian gulf and some other countries like egypt, sudan and jordan for help. our large coalition comprised of nine arab countries was preparing for invasion on yemen. the coalition was led by saudi arabia and the united arab. abu dhabi had been laying in weight for years to practice its influence in the region. the uae used its military experience in the horn of africa and assumed command role in the southern part of yemen and bubble mondab region. the emerts new full well that they're given a golden opportunity that won't repeat it had to gain control. over southern yemen and the babel mondav straight, even at the cost of spending millions of dollars or losing hundreds of military forces. the united states is a partner in this war, it is a partner uh every day, as you laid out, refuling aircraft, providing additio

certainly, both saudi arabia and american convictions suggest that the war in yemen led by the saudi coalition is not progressing in the direction they desire. halting the war, seasing military operations and partially lifting the blockade were primarily in the interest of both the united states and saudi arabia. therefore, the current escalation has not impacted. the airspace at sanah international airport or maritime navigation to the ports of hudaida. this serves as guige for the continuation of negotiations and commitment to a political solution. ultimately, yemen will not link the political solution to its duties regarding the palestinian cause and gaza. when yemen made the decision related to gaza, there was a conviction that if the political solution were affected, it would not be compromised for the sake of the palestinian cause. in reality, there will be... significant impact, and i believe that the absence of saudi arabia from the coalition formed by the united states, at least officially and explicitly is beneficial for the continuation of the political solution. even if saudi arabi

well, you see, the people of yemen are people who during the 9 years of asymmetric war with the saudi coalition countries, well, we see that really the war between saudi arabia and yemen was the war of the united states, and the allies of the united states of america, including england and the european terrorist coalition , were considered one of the supporters of this war against the oppressed people. yemen, this asymmetric war has reached 8 years, and now it has entered the 9th year. this war has become a war of attrition. well , you are aware that wars of attrition are also related to the wars that are at maximum speed and at the same time, taking damage from the other side. there are many differences, one of which is that the motivation of the forces will be lost and the so-called fighting spirit of the forces will be greatly reduced and the war will become boring, like the war between yemen and the coalition of countries supporting saudi arabia. this war was the 8th war that occurred throughout history and in these 8 wars, saudi arabia has never won this war the war comes in the form of er

determined leadership and the nation. as we can see, you know, over eight years of a war by the saudi coalition that is obviously western backed and armed and supported with logistical support and they were not able to weaken the uh yemeni nation and now the yemeni nation has learned from all these experiences and have picked up and been able to fight back now and we can see that "the yemenis are not gonna sit idally while the israelis are killing and genociding and uh committing all these war crimes against the policy people and they're stepping up to be a real model, a real role model for the area and region to fight the aggressive powers, the arrogant powers and as as we can see now there are actually even attacking the american warships, that means you know the so-called..." strongest force in the world, the mightiest force in the world that has invaded so many countries and uh threaten so much countries and so many countries are scared of the us, but you can see that the yemeni nation is standing up firmly uh undeterred and uh you know they want to take the price and the thing is it's not

sona government message that they are ready. uh to make peace in in yemen, this regarding the saudi led coalition and to to make peace in yemen to recognize ansarullah and as well for the economic standard here in yemen to be better like paying the salaries and solving the problem in yemen, this is actually shows that is the united state actually who was behind the saudi let coalition war uh on on yemen, but the uh uh they sent this this message through a third party, but what... many here said we will not stop because the attack on gaza is totally a separate situation from what's happening in yemen because what's happening in yemen now we have a truth because yemani army has actually defeated saudi arabia and united arab emirate and their coalition by targeting their oil infrastructure that's why the bigger now issue uh that yemen is focusing on all yemen is focusing on the international community is actually keeping blind of that the main thing now is palestine and the liberation of palestine, but at the beginning those attack will not stop uh in the red sea unless united state and uk will stop

for us, essentially destabilizing country with strikes. recently we've had the us packing the saudi coalition of strikes in yemen. almost a decade of strikes on cruces, which is essentially the fact the gulf and now in young men, it controls the area with almost 80 percent of the population. you know, despite all of those strikes with that huge west and backing at the continued to survive prospect and take upa. more areas. and again, even more recently than not, we have the accusations by the form of pakistan, the 5 minutes, the immune con, that he was toppled as a result of us interference impacts dani politics. so really you see these tentacles of the us and stabilizing force the region. now the us might say it, we see ourselves as being the police force of the world. but for many in the middle east, they see it as being the terrorizing force of the weld shawna. thanks very much for taking us to that, to our, to charlotte, to been see no rushes at top, diploma. circular profit is now addressing the media, summing up the foreign policy results of the past year on the outlining priorities for

yeminies were gna step up and and do something like that because they've been oppressed by the saudi coalition for over eight years and under severe blockade and at the same time now the uh the popular mobilization forces that uh you know grew out and propped out after the war against isis now they're also uh launching

after the saudi coalition started its operation to restore the government against the houthis what wes and drones to the houthis. in the years after that we saw a rise in the attacks against saudi arabia, the united arab emirates and also attacks against ships in the red sea. in the last ten years, the houthis went from a small not sophisticated militia to this type of big, nonstate actor that is able to defy the us and its allies.— us and its allies. briefly, because _ us and its allies. briefly, because we're _ us and its allies. briefly, because we're running i us and its allies. briefly, l because we're running out us and its allies. briefly, - because we're running out of time i'm afraid, what a rand paul donica rat�*s thinking in all of of this. their strategy? , so far, iran's strategy has not changed. it is a proxy strategy. they have been using them militia either 11 on, syria or iraqi to escalate and put pressure on the us and israel. but so far i do not see an indicated that iran wants to openly, directly attack the us and israel. so, we are in a position which is very vola

in 2015, when the uae army decided to interfere in yemen and join. in the saudi led coalition, authorities in the country were well aware that unlike saudi arabia, which is yemen's northern neighbor, they wouldn't be able to support their allies in southern yemen from a long distance. and if you look uh at the entire african coast, you see uh their interest in ports in egypt, in jedda, down the entire african coast, assad. somali land, puntland, mogedishu, but also also i want to note that the there's another element here and that is control of the entire south coast of yemen, right? uh, so the ports aren't necessarily operating there, but these are there are historical ports here, and the emirates have made this a priority, so if you look at this map again, uh, none of these uh ports in and of themselves are necessarily game changers, right? but i think the view from abu dhabi is, you piece together this constellation and uh get to their primary goal, which is shaping the future of maritime trade in the western indian ocean. in fact, among the countries mentioned, yemen is more significan

militarily, take me| through the considerations, the thinking because the houthi have that saudi coalition survive that, they have weapons. in terms of this action from the uk, the us what likelihood is success? t this action from the uk, the us what likelihood is success?— likelihood is success? i think that there is a great _ likelihood is success? i think that there is a great deal— likelihood is success? i think that there is a great deal that - likelihood is success? i think that there is a great deal that can - likelihood is success? i think that there is a great deal that can be i there is a great deal that can be done from the air using these sorts of aircraft we saw last night and missile attacks. because things like drone launch sites and missile sites and radars and command—and—control facilities are generally quite obvious things that are fixed on the ground and you can see them from space and from the sky. there's a lot i can still be done with air power. we're a long way from having to consider to use other interventions like special forces raid and consideration of occupying

who achieved successive victories against the saudi american coalition.ength of the resistance movements in lebanon and palestine were advancing day by day. ومن قدره ومن خبرات ومن تجارب وايضا من ايمان ومن عزم ومن شجاعه ومن اراده هي اقوى من اي زمان مضى. central to these achievements of the countries in the resistance axis was the leadership of qasim sulaimani, the head of the منذ سنوات طويله كانت تدرك الولايات المتحده والكيان الاسرائيلي والقوى الاستكباريه اهميه دور الحاج قاسم سليماني. المنطقه كانت تجد اثار الحاج قاسم سليماني في العراق في لبنان في فلسطين المحتله في اليمن في البحرين في كل مكان تخطط له تجد قاسم سليماني وهذا باعتراف قاده الولايات المتحده وقاده الكيان الاسرائيلي وكان يعد العدو رقم واحد. the americans started working on disengagement among the access countries by removing iraq from it. they succeeded in doing so through the october 2019 protests, ultimately pressuring iraqi prime ministerdi to step down. السيد رئيس مجلس النواب الموقر، السلام عليكم ورحمه الله وبركاته، ارجو من مجلسكم الموقر قبول استقالتي من رئاسه مجلس الوزراء والتي تعني بالتالي اس

been going through about a ten year civil war the last couple years, and a lot of that involved saudi coalition air force strikes trying to hit houthi targets with u.s. support actually inside of yemen. one of the people attendinging a big houthi parade right after the first round of strikes was spoken to in the crowd. listen to what he has to say. basically they are not going to be afraid of these attacks right now. >> translator: we condemn the criminal terrorist strikes on the yemeni people by israel, america and britain he says. we've been at war for eight years. these strikes don't frighten us. >> reporter: and that is the clue. people can and i that, there can be bravado. it is not the people being targeted, it is the military. but i think the underlying thought there is that the houthi military knows well how to hide the rockets and munitions had they been degraded or put off from a retaliatory strike. seems unlikely. but of course the risk of wider escalation and already a tense region. >> nic robertson, thanks so much. >>> now to the u.s. southern border where the standoff between texa

so they are not the kind of group that is the tut by strikes the saudi less coalition launched over $25000.00 strikes against the he's these over the last 9 years and the still normally at least at war. so i think i think that it's very well. meanwhile, i own records in the middle east has not look. so grades on the who sees are aware of that. see us withdrew roth it immediately from afghanistan, and we will not, not successful in iraq. so that's sort of confidence and it's not a whole clear that some targeted strikes by the us and the k partners could hold them back. but, you know, put it, put it into the context for us because how big a threat are they really, can they really stand up to a us led coalition? it's easy to on to estimate the who's the is now if the us what's on least old, if it's military might against the who it is. no, they would not be able to stand up to that. but that would result in a full hold out regional loan, who touts don't forget what the, who's the so think doing in the red sea is extremely irritating and expensive for us in the west and beyond. that's inside the,

they suffered more than 25000 strikes by the saudi led coalition, and it didn't to tell them. so i think looking ahead, we might stance to see even more conflict start to erupt in this red sea region. ok, the who is the site that launching these attacks for the sake of how mass in its war against israel, should we take that claim at face value? so i think that claim could be taken in 2 ways. i don't think we can't dismiss. it's entirely as not being genuine. i think the who sees as all many people around the world are genuinely concerned about the plight of the palestinians. and feel that they want to stick out for them in a way that other governments of the regimes in the region probably counts the counts. and however, it's absolutely the case that this works very well for them politically that they are able to exploit the situation in an opportunistic way to try to gain most support for themselves and so jasmine and indeed more broadly. so it works at both of those levels at the same time. right. let's go back then to this, this, this notion that you say it looks like, uh, t

for 5 years , washington supported the saudi-led coalition fighting the kussites in yemen with weaponswhile turning a blind eye to the carpet bombing of cities, including hundreds of thousands killed by american bombs, and a horrific humanitarian situation. refugees, famine, all so that the houthis, who are believed in washington to be supported by iran, lost power in the country, but in the last year of saudi arabia, the houthis began peace negotiations, the situation turned out to be. the point is not even that by their actions the westerners are destroying the results of many years of efforts by the uon regional mediation for an intra-yemenite settlement. the problems are much broader; such reckless and short-sighted steps destabilize the security situation and undermine the emerging normalization of the regional situation. if the escalation continues, then the entire middle east region. may encounter a catastrophe, in comparison with which everything that happened before will seem like flowers. as soon as the un security council meeting ended, reports arrived about a new attack on

the message was as long as the hudaida port and the coasts are illegally occupied by the saudi led coalitionnts supported by riyad might lose control over the city and the oil fields, which would in turn disrupt a major part of the saudi economic aspiration in yemen. yemen's geopolitical importance on the coast of babandalp straight as as the rich natural resources in the country clearly show why several regional and extra regional powers have been draining their military power, political force and financial resources for over decade to try to control yemen's ports and strategic oil and gas fields. after some time with the restoration of political stability, the horn of africa and southwest asia, the countries that... can exert their influence on these countries either directly or through proxies will wield astronomical power to impose their political will in west asia and political bickering by gaining control over one of the most vital maritime trade routes in the world. now this part of the world has been deprived of peace and calm for many years. people in this region deserve to experien

bombs on yemen is it planning to you know attack yemen with million you bombs uh on yemen as uh saudi lot coalition uh did with the over 300 thousand bombs utilized in the war, there really not much that the us can accomplish in terms of military deterioration um against the yemeni army because they've been through this uh they're built for this and they prepared for this. us president joe biden says american forces and their allies have launched strikes against yemen, i think that... he will not hesitate to order more measures if needed, however, initial reactions from democratic members of congress have been highly critical. representative rohhana said the president needs to come to congress before launching a strike and involving the us in another conflict in west asia. oregon congresswoman val hoil highlighted the lack of lawmakers approval for the strike adding that congress has the soul authority to authorize military involvement in overseas conflicts. jason croe from colorado said he would not support us being pulled into a broader war. wisconsin's representative markan emphasized that the u

this coalition was created without the participation of the coastal countries of the red sea, especially egypt and saudibia , which shows the failure of america in dealing with the deterrence power of the ansarullah movement, because this coalition was supposed to be formed with the presence of 39 countries, but now only 10 countries are members, even bahrain is in this coalition only because of the country's hosting of america's fifth naval fleet and the approval of the resolution in the security council with the efforts of america , which became an excuse to attack yemen. with the aim of preventing attacks against the zionist regime in the sea at first, a long list was announced, but when american officials, including the secretary of defense , visited the region and it was decided to announce a list, it turned out that many countries did not agree to be present. as cn said, blinken had prepared the preparations for the aggression during his trip to the region. now, in addition to the rally that was held in front of the white house on the same night as the invasion of yemen , whispers of opposition fr

that it was trump who actually uh listed uh ansarullah as a terror organization uh during the saudi let coalition war on yemen but what there was no result uh for that uh decision and at the end yemani army has break saudi arabia. united arab emirate and they have actually forced them to stop the war and now they are launching a war against against israel, this is i mean united states should learnuh from their mistake that yemani will not hesitate as the spoke person of germany army have said will not hesitate to continue targeting israeli linked ship or ships that going toward the israeli port unless the blue cate is been lifted uh against gaza and the war ' to stop against gaza and the genicide must stop and food and medicine uh must be allowed to enter gaza and whatever is needed for the palestinian people. yemen's anser resistance movent is described us move to redesignate the movement as a terrorist organization as quote: a badge of honor. anstal spokesman muhammad abdul salam added that the move also proves the impact of yemen's anti-israely operations in the red sea. he said there's nothin

was trump who actually uh listed uh ansarullah as a terror or... organization uh during the saudi let coalition war on yemen, but what there was no result for that decision, and at the end yemani army has break saudi arabia and united arab emirates and they have actually forced them to stop the war and now they are launching a war against against israel, this is, i mean united states should learn from their mistake that yemani will not hesitate as the spoke person of yemani army have said will not hesitate. to continue targeting uh uh israeli linked ship or ships that going toward the israeli port unless the blue cate is been lifted uh against gaza and the war uh to stop against gaza and the genicide must stop and food and medicine uh must be allowed to enter gaza and whatever is needed for the palestinian people. now moving to the gaza's trip we're over 100 days. of relentless israeli bombardment has reduced war and trip to rubble and claimed lives of many innocent women and children. israel stepped up strikes in the south killing at least 10 people including two children in cities of rafa and

of course it going this reputation given that it was able to achieve victory against the saudi emirati coalition which enjoyed strong western backing, but i think that the latest operations reveal even more military expertise if you would like, the operation, for example, more recent one which targeted some american and british ships, this was very sophisticated attack which combined between drones and missiles and by the way it bears a lot of similarity to the methods employed by hazballah here in lebanon, so i think that um the hutis do have the ability uh to launch a pretty strong attack and it has to be pointed out that there will be lot of targets, um these sea are. is the arabian sea, there are a lot of quite a lot of targets for the law to choose from, so i do expect that there will be retaliation and it could very well be, it depends, it could very well be a strong retaliation, on the other hand it might be a proportionate retaliation because the operation you saw last night or this morning actually ear very early this morning from the americans and from the british, it was violation of

bombs on yemen, is it planning to you know attack yemen with million bombs uh on yemen as uh saudi led coalitionthe us can accomplish in terms of military deteriation um against the yemeni army because they've been through this uh they're built for. this and they prepared for this and you can see more reactions pouring in on the bottom of your screen their iraqi resistance groups that the us and uk have become destabilizing factors in the entire region of west asia. now reactions continue puring and following us led aggression on yemen with iran as well as a lebanese and palestinian resistance movements also condemning these attacks. islamic jihad says aggression is part of western support for israel and shows washington manages the gaza war. senior hamas member has called aggression on yemen a provocative act. he said move shows countries involved in attacks want to spread the gaza war to other regions. lebanon's movement also said aggression is yet more proof of us complicity and what are called catastrophes and gaza and the region. iran's denounced violation of yemen's sovereignty and territo
