Saudi Arabia is striking back! And the Houthis have nobody but themselves to blame!
For a week, Iran’s Houthi proxies have been attacking Saudi airports and energy infrastructure! Their attacks on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh have killed civilians and wounded hundreds, while disrupting airport operations.
Now the Saudi-led coalition is responding with strikes against Houthi positions and infrastructure across Yemen!
Today, the coalition issued a rare public evacuation warning for civilians near the Al-Sabaha Central Station, a Yemen Petroleum Company facility on the western outskirts of Sana’a. Coalition spokesman Major General Turki al-Maliki released a map of the target and urged civilians to leave before a planned precision operation.
Shortly afterwards, explosions were reported in Sana’a, with Houthi media and local witnesses reporting a strike on the facility.
Further reported strikes have targeted Ras Isa port, oil infrastructure in Hodeidah province, and areas in Saada, Al-Jawf, Kamaran Island and Qanawis.
Meanwhile, the coalition says it intercepted three drones north of Riyadh. The Houthis claim to have shot down a Saudi drone over Saada.
And what is the Houthi response?
More threats!
Their military spokesman, Yahya Saree, has threatened a “firm and painful” response against Riyadh, specifically naming King Khalid International Airport and Saudi Aramco facilities.
The Houthis have even urged civilians and employees near Saudi energy installations to evacuate, while declaring those facilities legitimate targets.
Think about that. An armed militia attacks civilian airports, threatens energy infrastructure and openly warns that it intends to strike again!
And these are the people pretending to defend Yemen!?
Let's not forget the bigger picture. After the Houthis seized territory along Yemen's Red Sea coast near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, government forces launched the Dawn of Yemen counteroffensive with coalition support.
Yemen's internationally recognised government is fighting to restore state authority. Saudi Arabia is defending its national security against an Iranian-backed militia that has turned Yemen into a platform for regional aggression.
The Houthis chose this escalation. They chose to attack Saudi Arabia. They chose to threaten civilian infrastructure.
Now they are discovering that Saudi Arabia will not simply stand by and watch!
My position is clear:
🇸🇦 Stand with Saudi Arabia.
🇾🇪 Stand with Yemen's legitimate government.
❌ End the Iranian-backed Houthi coup.
🛡️ Protect civilians and restore Yemen's sovereignty.
The Houthis are not Yemen. Iran's proxies do not have the right to hold an entire country hostage!
Disarm them or defeat them. Yemen deserves better.
This is an MBS appreciation post.
I don’t think he gets anywhere near enough credit for what he’s doing for the Muslim world.
In Sudan, he’s fighting against the genocidal RSF militia.
In Yemen, he’s backing the Yemeni government against the khat munching rogue Houthi militia.
In Syria, he’s investing billions into its reconstruction and is the main backer of the vision to turn the country into a major trade and connectivity hub.
In Lebanon, he’s the main backer of the Lebanese government, both economically and diplomatically.
In Palestine, he’s helped secure Trump’s backing for the Gaza peace plan and is set to invest billions in Gaza’s reconstruction and the establishment of a Palestinian state.
He successfully lobbied France, Britain, Portugal, Luxembourg, Malta, Andorra, Monaco and San Marino to recognise Palestinian statehood, with Belgium also committing to recognition.
In Pakistan, he’s repeatedly stepped in with billions in financial assistance to help prevent an economic collapse.
In Somalia, he’s supporting Somalia’s unity and working to block any recognition of breakaway regions like Somaliland.
And in Saudi Arabia, he’s grown the sovereign wealth fund from $150 billion to 1 trillion and doubled the country’s GDP since taking power.
All of this while confronting Iranian and Israeli expansionism across the region, and while being called a traitor and a sellout.
If you’ve been conditioned to hate this man, ask yourself how much of that hatred comes from what you actually know and how much comes from what you’ve been fed.
Because whatever you think of him, you should be hoping and praying that he succeeds in what he’s trying to achieve. If his vision succeeds, the entire Muslim world stands to benefit.
