Intelligence agencies warn Saudi Arabia

Intelligence agencies warn Saudi Arabia:

Many experts have warned the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that if it retreats from eradicating the Iranian Houthi militia—many intelligence agencies see that the Saudis are capable of eradicating what remains of the militia within 4-6 months at most if the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia continues to advance at the same pace and executes targeted strikes against individuals, vehicles, and precise targets.

WHY ARE 4-6 MONTHS SUFFICIENT
This time the war is different, as Saudi Arabia has been able to execute a very large number of strikes via drones that target individuals and moving targets along the burning fronts—where the Iranian Houthi militia has lost, up to this moment since last month, more than 40% of its military composition.

WILL THERE BE A DECISIVE END
All intelligence agencies have confirmed that six months will be more than enough because the Iranian Houthi militia will be unable to recruit individuals and elements to join its crumbling military machine, and the Yemeni people will see that those who go to the fronts do not return except as unidentified remains.

Translated Text:

Saudi Arabia is determined to settle this battle and to kill two birds with one stone; it seeks to eliminate the Muslim Brotherhood, while at the same time seeking to eliminate the Houthis.

And the evidence for this is that it did not necessarily fail militarily in confronting the Houthis as much as it has other goals and calculations it seeks to achieve. For it did not support the army in Marib in the required manner, nor did it support the army in Taiz, and it does not appear that it wants to rely on them directly.

Instead, it attempted to promote other forces and formations; it tested multiple forces and parties, including the security belts, the emergency forces, and others, but these formations were unable to close the gap that Saudi Arabia wanted to address, and they did not achieve the results it was hoping for.

Now, Saudi Arabia is trying to exploit new forces to achieve its goals, but it is expected that this attempt will face the same fate and fail just as the previous attempts and forces failed.

Even more



Translated Text:

Saudi-led Arab coalition should not accept that until Sana'a is encircled by legitimate forces

Even if the Houthi announces his agreement to a ceasefire, the implementation of UN Resolution 2216, the surrender of his weapons, and withdrawal from Sana'a, the legitimate Yemeni government and the Saudi-led Arab coalition should not accept that until Sana'a is encircled by legitimate forces!

Because the Houthi is deceitful and evasive, and uses dissimulation to maneuver and buy time.

Acceptance is only in one case: that the legitimate forces reach the gates of Sana'a from all directions, while leaving a single passage for the Houthis to withdraw from it, to avoid destroying the capital and preserve the lives of its people.

What is required is to end the coup and restore the state, not to give the Houthi a new opportunity to maneuver and regroup his ranks…!

Victory for the legitimate [forces] and Yemen as a whole…
And defeat and loss for the Houthi and his supporters and handlers…!
