Now, if thier view be clear and keen , the Saudis will find that they have lost all their cards at the same time as the United States shrugs off continuing to support the coalition in Yemen.
The recent blow by Yemeni forces to Saudi Arabia’s oil facilities in Dhahran (east of the country) is not the last blow, but it contains an important message that the regime has lost control.
After the UAE changed its position, withdrew its forces from Yemen, and by enlisting militias under its auspices in southern Yemen, coveted the country’s natural resources and economy, the Saudi regime’s casualties increased. It has not been so biting and painful for Saudi Arabia that successive Yemeni attacks deep into Saudi Arabia have been painful and biting, especially as Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman seeks to clean up and beautify his image in the eyes of the West and the new US administration.
The outcome and futility of the Yemeni war were revealed to the Saudis a year after it began, and the Saudis realized this fact, but they insist on continuing the war, besieging the Yemeni people and keeping them hungry. But the Biden administration’s recent decision to end its full support for coalition forces sends an important message that the war is not as beneficial to the Americans as it is to the Saudis.
This is where the importance of the Yemeni attacks, most recently the attack on Dhahran, comes into play, underscoring the fact that the final winners of the war are the Yemenis, and that any future negotiations to preserve the remaining reputation of the aggressor coalition will be conducted accordingly, and so will the Saudis. They must know that they will not achieve any of their goals in this war; Because they are the weakest side in this equation. In particular, the battle of Marib also sent strong signals that the battlefield was in the interest of the real owners of the land and that liberating Marib from the occupation of the aggressor coalition and its mercenaries was a national duty.
On the other hand, because the Saudi Crown Prince could not make serious promises or winning cards to the Americans over the Yemeni case, the White House also finalized its position on the case, and therefore, Muslim is no longer as popular in Washington as in the past, and all his cards Who has played with them during the last 6 years of the war. In short, the situation has reached a point where the Saudis should be happy about the end of the Yemeni war; Because the end of the war also puts an end to their material and human losses and prevents further erosion of Saudi military and economic capabilities.
It can be said that the Emirati people understood this message of the Yemenis earlier and realized that any Yemeni missile or Yemeni drone that lands in Dubai will put an end to the dream of “Mohammed bin Zayed” and will make foreign companies flee the UAE. The Emirati people received this message and withdrew from Yemen, but the Saudi Crown Prince ignored this fact, and this ignorance has many consequences for Saudi Arabia and the Crown Prince himself today, and therefore, it is better for the Saudis to accept this fact and leave Yemen; Because the war against Yemen has completely failed and its casualties are increasing every day. Riyadh must use the remaining opportunity to avoid further defeat and not lose the remaining cards.
