International Crisis Group has blamed Saudi Arabia for its intervention in the Yemeni war and stressed that Saudi officials are frustrated with finding a way out of the quagmire of the Yemeni war.
The International Crisis Group says Saudi foreign intervention has failed and the country is mired in the Yemeni war.
Richard Atwood, the interim head of the International Crisis Group, said in a report that Saudi Arabia’s confrontation with Ansar al-Islam would fail.
Atwood said Saudi officials were feeling defeated and desperate to find a way out of the Yemeni quagmire.
He added: “The continuation of the war in Yemen, along with the crimes of the Saudi regime, especially the killing of” Jamal Khashoggi “, a critical Saudi journalist, has angered the United States towards Saudi Arabia.”
Saudi policy change:
Richard Atwood believes that developments in Saudi policy, such as the willingness to negotiate with Iran, reconciliation with Qatar, and close relations with Turkey, are the result of the nature of US intervention.
“It is clear that Riyadh and it’s somewhat ally Abu Dhabi do not have the respect and support of Joe Biden like former US President Donald Trump,” Atwood said. Washington is eagerly awaiting a return to the Iran nuclear deal and a reduction in hostile relations with Tehran, and Saudi Arabia and its allies see Trump’s “maximum pressure” on Iran as futile, although they welcomed it at the time.
The interim head of the International Crisis Group added: “Iran has more influence in the region and if the United States and Iran return to the nuclear deal, Riyadh fears that Iran’s influence in the region will increase.”
Atwood concluded by emphasizing that the Yemeni war was deteriorating.
The Saudi-led Arab aggression coalition, which thought it could achieve its goals in the Yemeni war in a matter of days, has now failed to achieve any of its stated goals. His coalition has collapsed and collapsed.
