Only the deft, dumb and blind cattle will fight against the Houthis who stood like warriors in front of the Israeli aggression. These low IQ Najdi Saudi's are Dajjals warriors promised a bitter and ugly end.

Takfiriat + Racism. That's new.

Anyway

Before Iran Iraq war that started in September 1980 and Saudi support for it, Iran was calling for overthrow of Gulf states in 1979 and seeking to export it's "revolution". Please abandon this zionist trait of attacking others and then expecting no retaliation in return.

Excerpt

Khomeini, for example, said on 20 February:

"I hope that (Iran) will become a model for all the meek and Muslim nations in the world and that this century will become the century for smashing great idols . . . O meek of the world, rise and rescue yourselves from the talons of nefarious oppressors; O zealous Muslims in various countries of the world, wake from your sleep of neglect and liberate Islam and the Islamic countries from the clutches of the colonialists and those subservient to them."

Bani-Sadr was quoted on 4 February:

"Our revolution will not win unless it is exported. We are going to create a new order in which deprived people will not always be deprived. As long as our brothers in Palestine, Afghanistan, the Philippines, and all over the world have not been liberated, we Iranians will not put down our arms. We give our hand to deprived people all over the world."

This was months before the war started. Did you expect everyone iran threatened 5 minutes after taking power like ISIS threatened everybody 5 minutes after taking power, to quietly roll over? The fact that Iranians still do no see anything wrong in their Soviet/neo liberal tactic of exporting their ideology instead of containing it within like china, is why the middle east was on fire from Aleppo to Aden.

Saudi hostility against Iran goes ever further back to 1971, where they supported UAE claims against Iranian islands, backing UAE against Iran, while Iran has and had no territorial claims against Ale-Saud.

In the 50s they followed the advise of British diplomat and advisor Sir Charles Belgrave—who served the ruler of Bahrain—suggested using "Arabian Gulf" instead of historical name for the Gulf which is the Persian Gulf.

The war against Iran was started by Iraq, backed by GCC lackeys and Iraq was officially identified as the aggressor of the war by the United Nations Security Council in 1991.

@Asfandyar Bhittani sb,

No you won't, you will simply change goalposts when Pakistani forces already in Saudi defend Saudi. So I am setting the goalposts where it stands today. Your false claim isn't that Pakistan will defend Saudi but that Pakistani troops will be used to displace houthi regime in Yemen for which ground troops are needed. So yeah, let's see when "large number" of Pakistani troops are placed on YEMENI ground.

IRGC has been building missiles for decades and passing them out to their proxy’s Houthis. At some point years ago, the Saudi skies were overwhelmed . It didn’t happen in 2026 it just became obvious. STUPID acts of the IRGC . I’m sorry the Houthis have to go . Egypt and Saudis cannot allow these people to control the Red Sea and Suez and wreck regional economies.

 

[KingQamaR]

@KingQamaR

These Saudis dimwits cant comprehend is that no air war has ever, or will ever, displace any regime without placing a large number of troops on the ground.

No, they do. That is why the Mecca Defense Agreement. Pakistan is expected to provide the ground troops for that. If I were a Pakistani decision maker, my advise would be to go ahead. The previous PMLN govt had this opportunity which it let go. Rather than provide military support to KSA, they content themselves with a vacuous resolution in the Parliament. KSA scaled up back their financial support to PAK and proceeded to a detente with IND. Circumstances have favoured Pak and if the GHQ has any common sense, they shouldn't forego it this time around.

Regards

This is where Egyptian troops will be boots needed on ground. Egypt is next door who has military capabilities that can land troops on the coast. I believe controlling coasts is more strategic than to take Sana , Saudis are dimwits how they conducted the war . Take coasts this to suffocate the Houthis. Pakistan should only provide air cover. Not boots on the ground.

Changing goal posts. The relationship being discussed was Mullah regime and Saudis. Mullahs that the Saudis even congratulated when they took power.

So if you want to change goalposts, tell me, Iran supported Karabalh claim of Azerbaijan, did Armenia have right to call for the overthrow of Iranian regimes

Has once china policy, can Taiwan call for the overthrow of Iranian regime and work towards it?

Supports Georgian territorial position, can Russia retaliate?

Supports Cyprus territorial integrity, can Turkey call for turks in Iran to rise up?

Be serious. Arabian/Persian gulf. Lol Its the indian gulf from chabahar to Dubai.

Curious, did UNSC find Saudi as an aggressor? No.

You called for their overthrow in 1979 when they had done nothing to warrant it and have been trying to overthrow them ever since, so please don't attempt to play the victim when those that you attack defend themselves by backing Saddam or by Americans. Learn from ISIS. They too went rabid against everyone in the region and it wasn't really a sound policy.

Its not new at all.

Only Persianised Arabs are acceptable to South Asian sects.

@Asfandyar Bhittani sb, @KingQamaR

Ok let me be a bit more explicit. I have no reasons to believe Pakistan has ground troops in Yemen as of now. But Yemen is a tough terrain and the Houthis are some of the toughest fighters in the world today.

There is no way the Saudis are going to beat them on a ground war in Yemeni territory. Equally I don't see the Houthis taking the fight to Saudi territory with or without Pakistanis stiffening the Saudi corset.

The only people who can help KSA win a ground war in Yemen are Pakistanis. As a non-martial Gangadeshi (Bengali) Hindu, whatever be my differences politically with Pakistan, I can't deny the sheer martial prowess of our Punjabi and Pushtoon neighbours. Without their help KSA is doomed to an attritional war in Yemen.

It seems you ignore very important arguments about saudi supporting Territorial claim against Iran, which is a red line. In addition In the early 20th century, the Wahhabi view toward Shia Muslims was deeply hostile, rooted in intense theological opposition that frequently manifested as political and physical aggression during the unification of Saudi Arabia.

You're supporting an insane American-British backed regime that even considered Sunni Ottomans as their enemy and actively supported the destruction of Sunni Ottomans.

First of all, cut the BS sarcastic tone gangadeshi. It's this (insert hand rubbing jew man cartoon) type of behavior that no one appreciates.

Low on facts, high on opportunistic but empty sarcastic jabs disguised as analysis. Everyone sees through it and is not worth answering in any manner other than calling it out.

Please do it.
Suez canal was a curse to egypt.

Curse? Why? Very few countries are blessed with such assets...

If we are to judge nation states for what they did a century ago, then should Regional sunni states hold Iran of today accountable for the crimes of safavids against the sunnis? Wars against the ottomans? Who predated wahabism by centuries...

As i said, be serious.

The current crisis is because of Iranian mullahs failure to learn from Soviet communism failure and Chinese communism success. To keep the "revolution" contained to their own country instead of going Soviet/ISIS/Western Neo liberal route of exporting it.

Plus it's home to the the super crocodiles

It caused a lot of wars to Egypt plus its revenue is not that significant. 9 billion annually is not that jaw dropping.

If i had been in a position I'd have ordered to bury it.
