[Persian Gulf]

Riyadh airport remains closed

It will remain dangerous while Saudi Arabia continues to commit crimes in Yemen

Pakistani forces shouldn't stand side by side of Somalian pirates and mercenaries.

Come back to your sense brothers. Sauds are protector of western and Zionist interests in Islamic world.

Turks don't send their soldiers to avoid humiliation, at least learn from Turkish snakes.

Pakistan is known by Kashmir not by being mercenary of a single feudal family in Arabian peninsula.

A typical Afghan way of thinking, claiming that Afghanistan is the “graveyard of superpowers,” while ignoring the huge human and material costs of decades of conflict. Now, these few thousand Houthis are reportedly facing repeated attacks, yet you interpret that their any projectile reaches its target as a sign of victory. By that logic, it would be like Zelensky claiming that Ukraine has defeated Superpower Russia simply because its forces have managed to strike few targets in Russia, Iran fight USA in a more comendable effort, but it doesn't mean that Iran win and USA lost. Military success should be judged by the overall strategic outcome, not by such few incidents.

Very balanced assessment. The strategy of missile lobbing has failed repeatedly in multiple theatres. And I agree that Iran fared far better than any other nation in relying on this strategy, but still cannot claim anything close to a "victory" - Iran is now under a perma-siege.

Ansarallah need to be crushed as soon as possible. Their supply of missiles will be finite. They won't have massive underground cities and they won't be able to replenish stocks from across the Gulf.

Reminder of Al Saud regime crimes in Yemen

Iran and Saudi are fighting since decades and playing proxy wars. Its your matter of concern not ours. Saudi is our Natural Strategic Partner and Iran too, we will see our National Interest first. While Houthies are like Afghanis as Proxies rats "neither in three nor in thirteen"

Sadly, there is little alternative now. Ansarallah could have kept its business internal to Yemen but some within their organisation just made rather suicidal decisions.

Its a Zionist plan to control natural resources of Yemen. We know very well that this war doesn't benefit people of Arabian peninsula.

West knows that if Sauds put their hands on Yemeni oil fields, it will come under their own control.

Yemen was starving to death. You can't blame them for retaliation.

Now, as you mentioned, its gotten out of control. West won't let Saud family go, they are under pressure to fight in Yemen.

Their financial and military resources are serving western interests.

I have to say, I agree with all of that. It is all very disappointing. The entire region has been deceived. We are a long way now from redemption. Whatever lessons you or I learn today will probably again be unlearned by the time our grandchildren are having a similar conversation.

Saudi Arabia was sitting very pretty & would have gained a lot more in the near future, yet MBS decided to be an adventurous prick & put everything in jeopardy by bombing Sana’a airport. There was absolutely no need for it. The Americans were significantly weakened & he had the Mecca Alliance secured. There is no victory against piss poor people who have nothing to lose.

That's a partial view of the whole situation. Why Saudi bombed airport? Let's expand on that first. Iranians were threatening to block Bab AL Mandab through Houthis. An Iranian military plane with military advisors on it were trying to land on that airport despite Saudi repeated warnings that no Iranian planes were to land in yemen. All the lectures are only reserved for Saudis?

Did we lecture you when Iranians were cavorting with Syrian butchers and russian mercenaries in Syria, Hezbs in Lebanon and Shia militias in Iraq? I don't get your and your leadership mentality. You start bringing religious card as soon as Pakistan start acting against Iranian proxies. When Bashar called Iran for help, Iran came running. This is what geopolitics look like. At one hand, your politicians are bad mouthing Pakistan in afghanistan and on other hand you are lecturing us what to do when Pakistan allies call for help? What are you? A moral high ground that Pakistan should pay heed to?

Each and every airport that hosts Saudi and western fighter jets and military forces is a legitimate target for Ansrallah.

And It amazes me that how Iranians and Pro-iranians conveniently ignores the fact that it was Iran airplane defying Saudi orders which was most probably delivering Military advisors and weapon shipments, not to land at San'aa airport led to this mess.

Let's be neutral if you wish this upon Saudi then say with conviction that very airport hosting Iranian military advisors and shipments is a legitimate target for Saudi and western forces.

As per Dawn:

"Four Saudi citizens, two Bangladeshis, one US citizen, one Egyptian, one Jordanian, one Syrian, one Palestinian and one Sudanese among the dead".

I don't think Ansarallah have the cognitive capacity to understand the gravity of this situation and the consequences of their stupidity.

Those who sat on their hands and choose to be spectators of Gaza's genocide and Israel's multiple aggressions do not get to criticize Lebanese or Iraqis or Iranians or Yemenis who tried to help Palestine and sacrificed their own lives for it.

Before you look at shame, who sacrificed what and when?

Sacrifice, is the operative word

We can't do jack diddly bhai.....or else you have to go ask Modi ka ulla for fuel.......

The Iran lovers are always the most negative.

I have tried to remain objective and not comment - as a mod one tries to not take sides but it becomes difficult when the end result is innocent and in particular Muslims suffer. Both sides are lacking in leadership and the hot headed Middle Eastern blood surfaces yet again.
I would request that members refrain from derogatory comments made on each other and try to keep the debate clean.
Pray for de escalation and a return to sanity

Something we agree on. But everytime we say security should be collective and regional, they double down on letting US forces stay in their countries and from there attack Iran among others and from there protect Israel. I guess they have no choice else their money will be frozen (human rights, 9/11 etc) or they are scared to lose their thrones without the US and British.

Do you really mean a collective security architecture with the Sunni world included?



But again yes, having American weapons and not even being good with them incomprehensible now
