Iran is supporting its Houthi rebel allies and proxy in Yemen to conduct an increasing war against Saudi Arabia, the Saudi-led Coalition, and also against Yemen government forces in Marib. Twenty four hours have seen an increased offensive against Marib in Yemen, a reported ballistic missile attack on Saudi Arabia on Saturday night and an attack on a ship in the Gulf of Oman. It is part of a series of tensions across the region linking Iran to conflicts in numerous places. This could be seen as a kind of “total war” that Iran is pushing across the Middle East. The volume of attacks and the multi-layered nature of them illustrate that this is not a mere happenstance or coincidence. This is not local politics. This is a regional conflict and Iran, which has a foothold in Yemen that has grown since 2015, is seeking to show that it can mobilize on numerous levels through proxies and through its own actions, as well as its advanced technology.
The level of attacks in Yemen also must be paired with rocket attacks in Saudi Arabia and also the airstrikes carried out by the Biden administration over the weekend against Iranian-backed militias in Syria. Add it up and what do you get: Incidents in Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Yemen, spanning thousands of kilometers. The attack on Saudi Arabia on Saturday included video of an interception over the skies of Riyadh. This is not the first time that rockets have been fired on Riyadh. Houthis have fired missiles before that triggered Patriot air defenses in Riyadh, in March 2020, in December 2017, in March 2018.
In addition, a ship that departed Dammam on Wednesday was forced

Joek Biteme’s puppeteers sent up the signal to ValJar’s homeys...
Among other things, the Saudis are Militarily inept. That doesn’t help.
This has been simmering for years, even under Trump. What is or was significantly different is the Abraham Accords that were pushing for peace. Peace through negotiations, not conflict. That strategy was working to put down Iran. Now...under Biden...he’s willing to just start dropping bombs, drones and troops.
All the Peace Accords by Pres. Trump will be for naught. They will fall apart as Biden expands his ME agenda. Just watch. I has such great hopes for the ME.
“This has been simmering for years, even under Trump.”
The heat has been turned-up since November 4th. Timing is everything.

Kamala was REALLY mad that she wasn't informed of the Syria bombings in advance.
Jill told Joek after his morning pudding pop and diaper change...
“On February 5, the Houthi leadership in the mountains of Yemen read welcome news from Washington that they would soon be removed from a list of foreign terrorist organizations.”
“The ten days since the announced removal have seen almost daily Houthi drone attacks on Saudi Arabia and increased fighting in Yemen.” (Jerusalem Post)
Agree. But, this isn’t something really new either.
Trump was using a different strategy...that was working. Isolating Iran by bringing factions to the table. Once Trump was gone, they already knew the Biden strategy would be back into factional and regional war.
Maybe we need some anti-war protests to form up.
“...what am I doing here?...”
Salute the marines,
Where the hell am I,
Whoops I filled my pants...
And from the wayback: “these are not my pants.” !
the Biden effect
They never had a chance.
I have come to believe that Seth Frantzman is one of the very best in the business
I now go to the Jerusalem Post most days to read his stuff
Anyone who is betting on the Saudi state having a future is going to lose their shirt.
Whether Arabia winds up ruled by Turks, Persians, or Jews, ruled is how it is going to wind up.
American interventions have already cost us too much.
Anyone wanna bet that part of that "agenda" will be filling up another C-130, with pallets of untraceable taxpayer's cash, and sending it to to Iran- probably including cuts that go back to "the big guy" and his co-horts?
More bad news from the former United States of America, now being run by illegal, unelected, unconstitutional, corrupt, criminal, foreign controlled, occupiers.
So you think Bahrain, Morroco, Sudan, and UAE will back out of signed deals with Israel? What could Biteme and his handlers do to change their minds which was to the benefit of all? It's been reported that even Saudi Arabia is looking in favor at the Abraham accords, but as yet to sign on.
It's my understanding that the Arab nations are becoming increasingly concerned about Iran. I'd bet that was Trump's main point, along with good trade deals. The above Nations have no great interest in Syria, since Iran backs the so-called rebels.
I have no inside intel and you could be correct.
Among other things, the Saudis are Militarily inept. That doesn’t help.
That is 100% true BUT the winds have changed in the middle east. I have been suspecting for a while, That the Abraham Accords will ultimately lead to a “neighborhood watch group” with Israel and it’s new Arab friends.
It makes sense—at the end of day—oil is still black gold and the arabs have it. This Green Energy nonsense is nothing more then a deflection for the Chinese to expand into the middle east so they are all making a block to protect their interests.
Europe is weak and unreliable, the Russians dont really want to play here if they can avoid it, but they’ll flex muscle (Syria), The US is increasingly unreliable as this administration will soon show like no other ever has.
survival instinct takes over. The Arabs are finally coming around that they need Israel more then they dont need them. So new alliances get born.
Thank you again for that President Trump
(if it wasn’t stolen from him, he would have had the mullahs gone in Iran within 4 years)
