Iran and the Houthis put out statements thanking the U.S. for the military gifts shortly after acquiring them...
Yemen predictably blitzed Moka and the Bab al-Mendab. Yanbu pumping station destroyed.
Iran Now Controls Saudi Arabia’s oil flow.
The only options for the Gulf States is
1) Complete capitulation to Iran’s geographic stranglehold or
2) All out invasion of Yemen by SA bc America won’t help.
Note: Scott Bessent says Gulf state oil is irrelevant in 2 years.
Q: Was Trump rejection of help to MBS loss of Bab al-Mendab a calculated acceleration to end Saudi oil dominance?
The Yemeni army (Houthis) has announced the capture of advanced surveillance systems supplied by the United States, Israel, and the UAE, on the coast of Yemen.
The French Thales CoastWatcher 100 AI system with a detection range of 150+ nautical miles.
German Hensoldt Spexer and SharpEye radars for tracking small targets in stormy conditions.
Israeli mobile radar ELM-2226 ACSR with LPI (Low Probability of Intercept) technology, resistant to electronic warfare.
Submersible Blue Whale sensors and thermal EO/IR cameras for nighttime identification of ships and activity on the coast.
This comes after Iranian forces acquired high-precision US-made air bombs and missiles, as well as an advanced unmanned surface vessel.
Trump is a jealous individual and spiteful person.
Good chance when he first went to the Middle East in his first term. He was astonished seeing the level of wealth countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar and others had.
He quickly realized it was all from the sale of Oil.
He wants to take away/destroy their ability to continue making money off Oil.
He hates Arabs. He hates Muslims and it makes his blood boil that for over his entire adult life he has had to struggle, hustle and con his way through life to make a living for himself.
And seeing the Mid-East countries living the good life all them years drives him nuts.
No different that a poor White person in America seeing a Black person living a prosperous and luxurious lifestyle. It makes their blood boil.
