While there are three dedicated Patriot sites in Riyadh, two in Al-Kharj that is south of Riyadh, not too far from it, and 2 dedicated THAAD sites in Riyadh as well. There are zero Patriot bases in Makkah or in its vicinity. The closest one is in Jeddah. Let this sink in all Saudi jiyale. Saudis are more worried about saving the King than the Harmain Sharfain.
@Hawkss_eye 😂😂😂. This doesn’t make any sense. After the false flag Makkah attack news, Taliban we’re condemning the Ansar-Allah. What changed and what is the source of the above news?
I am sorry but this sounded more like a rant than a coherent reply to his threat which is real. When Ansar start lobbing missiles to Karachi Oil refinery or KANUPP in Karachi then we all will be singing a different tune. All our three naval bases are within their reach as well. So the advice Pakistani should be giving to Asim Munir should be stay the hell out of Yemen and make Neanderthalic threats that doesn’t get us anything. Posting Fatah Missile system photos will not accomplish anything Saudis also have Ballistic missiles and it hasn’t achieved anything.
No one asked them to unite against Khomeini or Iran. The perceived threat has largely been rooted in the longstanding fear among Wahhabi-influenced Arab states that Shia Iran seeks to challenge their political and religious influence. Under the Pahlavi monarchy, Iran was considerably more secular and socially liberal, and its regional posture generated far less concern among these states. Consequently, Iran attracted much less attention as a perceived ideological or strategic threat.
JUST IN: 🇸🇦🇨🇳 Saudi Arabia withdraws from China's blockchain payment system designed to reduce reliance on the US dollar and SWIFT.
• Saudi Arabia withdrew from mBridge, China's blockchain-based cross-border payment project.
• mBridge enables faster, cheaper central-bank payments using digital currencies.
The system seeks to reduce reliance on the US dollar and SWIFT.
• China, Hong Kong, UAE and Thailand remain involved, and the project is continuing.
Saudis who still deny their F-15SA was shot down in Yemen, despite evidence, are making up a story about Saudi special forces that would have carried out an operation in Sanaa, when all they did was sending an ISIS terrorist with a motorcycle and an explosive device.
Another Chinese PIESAT-2 Launch completing its 16 SAR satellites requirements for regional coverage. It aims at total 100 satellites.
Pakistan has also signed a deal with Chinese PIESAT for 20 satellites. That will be a significant development. As of now too, PIESAT-2 satellites may provide it continuous coverage since deal is in place for Pakistani owned satellites later

"China successfully launched the Zhuzhou Space Interplanetary PIESAT-2 13~16 satellites into their predetermined orbit using a Long March 2D carrier rocket from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center. The launch mission was a complete success.
This mission marks the 668th flight of the Long March series carrier rockets.
The PIESAT-2 constellation is part of the Nuwa constellation project under Aerospace Hongtu, developed by Zhuzhou Space Interstellar Satellite Technology Co., Ltd. It consists of 12 X-band SAR satellites and 4 C-band SAR satellites, for a total of 16."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s aides were allegedly paid to transform Qatar’s public reputation in Israel by arranging press junkets, inventing sources, and planting stories that brazenly inverted popular views. From Qatar’s perspective, the campaign was a success: the Qataris became crucial players in peace talks over Gaza. Within Israel, though, it has become the center of a nearly unprecedented scandal—a legal case, now known as Qatargate, that involves a sweeping police investigation and potential indictments of several members of Netanyahu’s innermost circle. Of all the corruption accusations that have plagued Netanyahu over the years, “the charge that his aides doubled as influence agents for Qatar may be the most politically damaging,” Ruth Margalit writes. https://t.co/IiUq02xlsy
Saudi King Muhammad Bin Salman issued an urgent statement:
“If it weren't for our fear for the innocent people of Yemen, we would have conquered it in one week and eliminated the Houthis.“
As a scholar, @TahirAshrafi role should be making a statement comdemning that Anasal-Allah's attack on Saudi Arabia or in the supposed attack on Makkah, and go back to his other scholarly duties, such as educating the masses about the shirk that happens daily in Pakistan by the people who don't understand Islam fully. His daily statements, speeches and rallies do not make any sense.
@Himat75 There is a reason why the Kohat attack happened this week. Time to ponder how did TTP got so close to the military establishment and blew up. It was either a massive intel failure or an iside job to get out of the war in Yemen.
