Houthis Threaten Strikes On Egypt, Turkey, Pakistan Interests As Yemen Intervention Looms<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Houthi officials have put Egypt, Turkey, and Pakistan<\/strong> on notice amid the ongoing Saudi-Yemen conflict, and as Riyadh urges partners to assist militarily against the Ansar Allah movement. Iran’s state Nour News<\/em>,\u00a0<\/em>which is\u00a0affiliated with the country’s Supreme National Security Council, has issued a report saying<\/a> the three Saudi allies “will likely be targeted in the next stages”<\/b>
\n\u00a0– per a Houthi official.<\/p>\n

The Houthi official warned that “The targeting of Iran by the enemies will not be limited to the country’s borders and, according to him, the next efforts will be to target Egypt, Turkey and Pakistan<\/strong>.“<\/strong><\/p>\n

Already the Houthis have launched several attacks on Saudi Aramco facilities, also including fuel depots next to Riyadh’s international airport. The Houthis subsequently confirmed sending ballistic missiles<\/a> on the capital, in a first of the war. This happened Friday night into Saturday.<\/p>\n

According to more from the Iranian media report<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Referring to the position of these three countries in the Islamic world, he said that their power and influence could be an obstacle to the Zionist regime’s plans. The Ansarullah official stated that this plan is based on pushing Egypt, Turkey, and Pakistan towards wars and internal conflicts, and that Saudi Arabia plays a role in this process. According to him, such a situation could lead to the erosion of capabilities, weakening, and disintegration of the internal social fabric of these countries<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was just in Cairo meeting with Egyptian leader\u00a0Abdel Fattah El-Sisi. The visit came just in the wake of an Iranian-backed militia attack on the key Saudi East-West pipeline<\/strong>, which one US official described as having been launched from Iraq.<\/p>\n

A big focus of the MbS-Sisi meeting was regional security. The Saudis have been asking all regional allies for support at a moment the internationally recognized Sanaa government is rapidly losing ground to the Houthis.<\/p>\n

Washington has appeared to shrug its shoulders, staying on the sidelines thus far. President Trump was reported<\/a> ready to pull the trigger against the Houthis but reportedly TACO’d by close of the weekend<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

But there’s even greater pressure on the Pakistanis and Turks to take action, given the recently signed Mecca Defense Pact. We featured the following commentary last week<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Turkey’s new commitments to Saudi Arabia under the Mecca defence pact<\/a> could increase the risk of Ankara being drawn into a confrontation with Yemen’s Houthis, a development that could have significant consequences for Turkish supply lines to the Horn of Africa. Although Turkey has yet to ratify the pact, expected in October<\/a>, continued Houthi attacks against Saudi Arabia, and Ankara\u2019s recent participation in the Saudi-led Multinational Maritime Defense Alliance make some form of confrontation possible<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Another big, obvious risk includes the whole thing spinning out into a full-on regional war, which would likely further fuel US-Iran confrontation, and possibly bring in the Israelis.<\/p>\n

Bigger conflict would also likely close Red Sea shipping. The Houthis have so far only declared the Bab Al-Mandab Strait off limits to Saudi and Israeli-linked ships. But the fear is that any moment the group could begin assaults on all international shipping, akin to the ongoing crisis in the Strait of Hormuz<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n

Even very good reporting on Saudi-Houthi situation often says the Houthis e.g. “reignited” the war this summer, or some such. But this July, Saudi struck airport in Sanaa, the Yemeni capital, to block an Iranian plane from landing. Sometimes that’s not even mentioned…<\/p>\n

The Iranians and Houthis know they hold this card, and are likely intentionally slow-playing their leverage, but ready to pull the trigger on the next potential round of escalation with the US-Saudi-Israeli axis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
