SAUDI ARABIA STANDS NO CHANCE AGAINST THE HOUTHIS MSB RUNS TO BUNKER
Written by Michael Thervil
[SAUDI ARABIA HOUTHIS] Reports have surfaced that Iran has been providing strategic intelligence to Ansarullah (Houthis) that has allowed them to execute precision missile attacks on Saudi Arabia. Killing an estimated 17 people and wounding more than 300, the Houthis counter-offensive has been relentless as they have not only rapidly advanced through but seizing control of the Red Sea, Mokha (Mocha), Mayun Island, Zuqar Island, supply routes that stretch from Taiz to Aden, and most famously the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. due to the strength of the Houthis counteroffensive which led to six missile strikes that killed five on the Maashiq Palace located in Aden, it has forced Saudi Arabia's crown prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud to flee on a rotational basis to several underground bunkers under the watch of handpicked protection agents.
While there is some speculation that Iran is providing direct order on both how and when Ansarullah should execute their strikes, the official position of the Iranian government is that Ansarullah acts as “entirely independent actors who make their decisions based on their own interests.” Either way, there's no doubt that the onslaught of Ansarullah has been greatly effective against Saudi Arabia despite them not having nearly half of the modern warfighting capabilities of the Saudi Arabian military. It should be noted that the Ansarullah offensive has proven to be very costly for Saudi Arabia as its military budget has exceeded $82 billion per year over the last couple of years and the cost of rearming has proven to be difficult as their missile count continues to greatly diminish.
What is clear is that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud is finding it extremely difficult to combat Ansarullah, a lesson it seems that America has learned the hard way. Even though Joint defense partners Pakistan and Türkiye have verbally vowed to honor what is known as the “Mecca Pact”, the support that they have vowed to provide to Saudi Arabia has yet to make any significant impact on both the warfighting capabilities and confidence and the advancement of Ansarullah within the region. reports have been made that president trump entertained the notion of possibly lending Saudi Arabia help against Ansarullah, but Geopolitical Analysts are very skeptical of him invoking any kind of military action against the Houthis. This leaves the option of Israel possibly joining the conflict. Again, Geopolitical Analysts remain skeptical on this proposed notion as well given the fact that Israel has had virtually no success when it comes to combating the Houthis.
