HOUTHIS EXECUTE RETALIATORY PRECISION MISSILE STRIKE ON SAUDI ARABIAN AIRPORT KILLING 13

[SAUDI ARABIA HOUTHIS MISSILE AIRPORT] With over 13 people killed and over 300 people injured during due to Ansarullah executing a counterattack in which precision-based missile strike was executed on Saudi Arabia's Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport over the weekend, it has prompted Pakistan and Turkey to respond under what is known as the “Mecca Joint Defense Agreement” also known as the “Mecca Pact”. One clause in the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement is that if one of the countries within the pact is attacked, then it is the duty of the other nations that are a part of the to respond. Geopolitical analysts have forecasted that because of this pact being in effect, it will undoubtedly not only broaden the war between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis in the region, but it will also cause instability.
Saudi Arabia has insisted the kingdom is safe despite the rapid advance of the Houthis and the escalation of their retaliatory strikes. Saudi Arabia's energy minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman was quoted saying “You know this country is safe and that we hold your protection at whole heart”. He followed up that statement by also saying “There is no way that somebody will break our back. We are like a phoenix. We come out of the ashes all the time and every time”. Despite the words of Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman, it was reported that the American made missile defense system currently in use by Saudi Arabia failed to yield any warning signs of the incoming Houthis missile attack.
Speculators have taken the position that this is a big possibility that Saudi Arabia is either dangerously low on missile interceptors or they simply don’t have any left in their stockpile that could have been used to defend themselves against the latest counterattack by the Houthis. All of this comes just before oil and gas executives from Shell, Chevron, Exxon Mobile, BP, and TotalEnergies were expected to meet at the WPC Energy Congress which is a Saudi led conference. In retaliation, Saudi Arabia conducted 120 aerial strikes which included them striking the Houthis controlled airport in Sanaa, Yemen.
OUR POSITION AT VEDA WORLD NEWS
The continued broadening of not only the war between Saudi Arabia and Ansarullah in conjunction with America's war of choice with Iran, then Israel's war against Hezbollah and Hamas will at some point boil over to include the rest of the world. This is because the world is not only simply interconnected, but it's that interconnectedness that serves as a breeding ground for dependencies and alliances that must be formed in order for all countries to co-exist simultaneously. As strategic relationships are formed and strengthened between world leaders and their respective partners, it will also increase both the shared wins and shared burdens between them. As of now there is no way to stop this geopolitical chain reaction without causing even more global chaos that would serve as the precursor to another world war.
