Description:
A spokesman of Yemen’s Iran-allied Ansarullah (Houthi) movement said that the ‘qualitative drone operation’ against vital Saudi oil facilities represents a ‘strategic turning point’ in the Saudi-led war in the impoverished country.
This translated video also contains other analytical excerpts from Al-Mayadeen Tv dealing with details and possible ramifications of the major drone operation deep within Saudi territory that was announced by Yemen’s (Ansarullah-led) Armed Forces days ago.
The sensitive drone operation came soon after news of “suspicious operations” that targeted four oil transport vessels near the UAE’s territorial waters in the Sea of Oman, east of the port of Fujairah.
More broadly, the drone operation on Saudi Arabia comes as the drums of war grow louder between the United States and Iran, as Washington continues to heighten its economic, military, and political pressure on Tehran.

Is it established that Ansarullah is allied with Iran?
If that provides the excuse to destroy yemen even more and bring saudi arabia in the war against iran it must be at least highly likely
@ John Meyer
It is not established fact.
But Israel & KSA claim that the Houthi are Iranian Proxy.
Besides Iran and Hezbollah officially politically support the Houthi.
The Houthi officially denied relation between the bombing and Iran situation.

However the sequence of opeation is more than suspect. As it comes in the heel of Iranian warning about the straight of Hormuz and warning to KSA & UAE replacing iranian oil on the market.
And it comes with Fujairah Tanker sabotage last week.
Fujairah sabotage targeted UAE export hub just outside the Gulf.
And Yanbu attack and Houthi drone attack targeted KSA oil export hub on the Red sea.
Meaning both avenue to bypass the Straight of Hormuz.
IRGC head declared after Fujairah that the security situation in the Straight of Hormuz is fragile as glass.
And Iranian official declared that such events are worisome and deplorable.
Interesting that neither condamned those events.

“In a statement on Monday, Mousavi expressed concern about explosion at the Oman Sea affecting the oil tankers, calling for clarifying dimensions of the sabotage on some oil tankers.
The Iranian diplomat expressed concern about sabotaging the oil tankers, saying, regretful incident happened for some ships on Sunday.
Referring to the negative impact of this accident on the security of shipping and maritime transport, he warned against any conspiracy orchestrated by ill-wishers to undermine stability and security in the region.
Mousavi also called on the regional states to take care of any adventurism by foreigners.”
That sounds to me more like veiled threat than condamnation of the sabotage…
As conclusion. There is enough reasonsable doubt that prevent direct accusation of Iran being behind all those events. And Iran is in position of reasonable denial.
However my own personnal feeling, interpretation.and opinion is that Iran is beyond doubt related and behind those events.
And those actions seems designed and carefully crafted as a clear warning to KSA, UAE and their US master in the process of ongoing escalation.
But again there is no proof…
Interestingly there is also a UN process in Yemen-KSA war. And Houthi left the hudaydah and 2 others ports.
Which cas been welcomed by Iran.

The logical question mark… is…
Is iran involved in secret discussion in the Yemen peace process with KSA and the US ?
Could the US pressure over Iran be explained by Iran brokering influence in Yemen and Syria ?
But again that is only speculation.

The the last saudi position.
In one case mostly Saudis purportedly attacked US, but because they were aledgetly associated with Taliban, Afganistan was to be retaliated against.
In this case, the Yemeni attack Saudi Arabian interests, but because they used Iranian supplied weaponry, it is Iran that is to be retaliated against by US – because it was US’ ally that was attacked by Iran.
I see the logic and logical similarities here…
Huge story about intel the flagship of usa israel high tech again having backdoors inbuilt. This time it’s called ZombieLoad. Near total media silence in israel and usa . A few tech mags. But this is huge blunder in pr. Expect a big distraction. The usual zio trolls on other sites have gone to ground
Although I don’t know very much about computers, this article about the ZombieLoad flaw was very interesting…as usual, big tech isn’t being open and honest with us.

Now, this is huge and they don’t want a PR disaster, but even more this can’t be fixed. It’s a hardware issue. If I have understood the article correctly, this looks like some sort of DDOS attack (and that is well known), whereby every Intel chip going back to 2011 is vulnerable.
This is of the magnitude of the Snowden stories imho.

But, but, but-HUAWEI!!!!!!!!!
It’s great to see a country that has been oppressed by Saudi Arabia to fight back. They have been attacking them with boots on the ground and jets dropping bombs for some time. And what does the Americans do? Well, they join them and drop more bombs on Yemen, killing civilians, destroying hospitals and schools; sound like the same rhetoric the US uses, huh! And don’t forget the US ships off the coast starving the people by forming a blockade. maybe they should send US aid to Yemen and not to Venezuela. But then Yemeni people probably wouldn’t want their aid either.
UK Dirty Ops on Iran?
British media have reported that small teams of Britain’s elite commandos are being deployed on UK-
registered oil tankers in the Persian Gulf by way of protecting these vessels.
We are told by The Sun that two Special Boat Service (SBS) squads have been flown to the Middle East
in order to deploy on commercial ships entering the Persian Gulf via the Strait of Hormuz. The SBS is a
naval counterpart of Britain’s elite paratrooper SAS regiment. They are both trained to work in top-secret
missions.
