Ali and I talk about Phase 1 of Operation Dawn of Yemen and where this war may be heading in Phase 2 and beyond. We also talk about the impact of this war to the Saudi economy and Vision 2030 as well as how this impacts the MJDA and the conspiracies to sabotage the alliance so that it never stands on its legs now that the powers-that-be have failed in preventing it from coming into existence. Please do watch and share!
In this episode with Shahab Siddiqi, we break down the escalating situation in Yemen following targeted attacks on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh and Abha.

At least @MenchOsint is owning up that the Houthis did fire a rocket in the direction of Makkah. We had the Houthi Information Ministry in our Spaces today deny it. That booster could have easily dropped on the Haram and killed pilgrims.
Saudi state media (& their trolls army) claims this is shrapnel from an intercepted missile, but it’s actually an empty booster that detached naturally while the warhead continued toward its target (Yanbu or Rabigh).
One of the worst things about commentary on geopolitics is when your worst case analysis on future events starts coming true. The Middle East today is exactly where our worst case scenario calculated it to be 7 months ago. One big part of that worst case is still pending: GCC states actively starting to bomb Iran in retaliation. God save us from this, but it’s looking very probable in the next round.
Hamas & the Houthis!
The Iranian-backed Hamas militia’s spokesperson, Al-Nunu, refuses to condemn the Iranian-backed Houthi militia's targeting of Saudi airports.
On Which side is Pakistan standing On the order of Trump Pakistan closed the border with Iran Who butche*** Palestinians. Don’t give lectures take one side
Here’s the honest answer: More and more Pakistanis are waking up to the realization that the insanity of the U.S.-Israel does not justify the madness of the IRGC. We all supported Iran from April 2024 until the IRGC decided to bomb the region and civilian ships. Didn’t you guys yourselves say that you want to choke Hormuz and punish the world into pressuring the Americans? Well, everyone is paying the price you wanted them to pay. Just that they are OBVIOUSLY and correctly blaming the IRGC for it. Go ahead and cut cables and you will lose Indians, Sri Lankans, and everyone else as well.
So this is fake news. We talked about this in our Spaces today, but this is an AI generated pic and there is no confirmation from @TuckerCarlson on this whatsoever.

Can the Middle East achieve lasting prosperity while regional tensions continue to escalate?
Dr.Ishtiaq Ahmed explains that Saudi Arabia is pursuing a vision centred on economic transformation, development, and regional stability. Yet, the region continues to face recurring crises, raising difficult questions about Israel’s regional policies and their implications for peace and security.
Is the Middle East moving towards a future of cooperation and prosperity, or will regional rivalries continue to undermine its stability?
@ahmadishtiaq
Did Iran stand up in support of Iraq when the Americans made up their minds to bomb Iraq and oust Saddam? What was Iran’s excuse back then? It was the same that Saddam was being suicidal by trying to take on the Americans and that if Saddam had a death wish then Iran cannot be held ransom to his suicidal ways. Bear in mind that at the time Saddam was the only one who had smashed Israel with ballistic missiles and had been championing the Palestinian cause. He had also hit missiles at GCC states with the same excuse that they hosted US military bases. Well, dear @s_m_marandi, why doesn’t this same logic apply to you?
The former director of the CIA, John Brennan, said that the US never supported Ahmed al-Sharaa's Al-Nusra Front. Nusra, which later turned into Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), was instead supported by locals in Syria, according to the former spymaster.
Brennan was director of the CIA under President Barack Obama from 2013 to 2017.
There are at least 6 major countries that are running their web of ISR over Saudi and Yemen right now. Saudi can’t make a claim without pushback. E.g. Russia can easily debunk Saudi claims by showing the evidence that the ballistic missile was shot from somewhere else. This is no joke here.
Missile fuselage and debris recovered. In the coming hours we will get forensic and ISR evidence of this being a Houthi missile fired from Houthi launchers.
