Saudi Arabia Blames Iran for Attempted Missile Attack on Riyadh

[DavidSling]

Iran is talking about Satans all the day long, maybe they should take a look in the mirror instead of pointing fingers

 

[Saif al-Arab]

While KSA is hosting 2 million Yemeni expats that help support 10 million Yemenis in Yemen and sends tons of daily aid to Yemen, Iran offers nothing but weapons smuggling and misery for Yemen and the Yemeni people.

This happens every day.

Law and order rules supreme in liberated beautiful and ancient historical city of Marib after the Houthi terrorist cult has been removed from there.

Iran is talking about Satans all the day long, maybe they should take a look in the mirror instead of pointing fingers

A satanic regime by all accounts.

Displaced Yemenis living in temporary but appalling conditions due to the Houthi terrorist cult and corrupt abusers of ousted dictator Ali Abdullah Saleh;

KSA has always been the largest donor to Yemen.

In fact KSA has been one of the largest humanitarian donors in the past 40 years. Only the US has donated more relative to their GDP and population.

But Iran is funding the rebels in Yemen. Are they not ? Saudia on other hand is bombing the hell out of Yemen.

On other hand Saudis funded rebels in Syria and Iranians funded the other side and what happened . They destroyed whole of the country .

I am sure you know all this serves which country's interest.

For west or against west, that the perspective , West need to opponents, Iran and Saudia Arabia are those opponent in a nutshell which are destroying whole of middle east.

Siding the oppressed side of the war is something bad? as You said Saudi is bombing the hell out of Yemen and imposed blockade on this country and Iran's sin is just supporting the Yemenis? Saudi bombs Yemen to smithereens, engaged in wars of aggression killing 1000’s of innocents including babies, spreads cholera and famine, but of course blames Iran.
Presence of Iran in both Syria and Iraq was due to direct request of their central governments to come to their aid to fight against extremists and terrorist flooding into these countries. go read who called isis the sunni resistance.
The point is not only in Yemen but also in Syria Iran called out for a democratic and diplomatic approach from very beginning which included ceasefire,national dialogue, constitution and finally election .. both were rejected by other sides ..
And funny part is in all of these conflicts Saudis are allied with western countries against Muslim countries. Saudis received latest weapons made in west and Iran receive sanction .. you could figure the rest out by yourself.

Iran helped Sunni Bosnia, as we help Sunni Palestine and Shia Lebanon and Syria against israel while we helped Shia Baghdad and Sunni Arbil to fight isis .. also we helped sunni Afghanistan in process of forming their democratic government .. and we have no shame to say we support people of Yemen against aggression taking place right now.

Obviously the Houtis do not have industrial base to even manufacture a nail, let alone a missle and they do now have know how to even fire one with accurate targeting.

therefore, it is obvious conclusion that not only the missile was supplied by Iran but also it was launched by IRGC personal under cover in Yeman.

There are only 2 explanations on this either Saudi coalition are so incompetent that they are even not capable to intercept Iran smuggling missiles with 12~15 meters length and more than 6 tones weight into the Yemen while the country is surrounded and is under blockade or they are lying.
Yemeni army acquired missiles almost a decade earlier than Iran and have missiles for the past 4 decades and used them in civil war in 1994 .. and they do now know how to fire one with accurate targeting, they fired several missiles since the beginning of the war and have been able to increase the accuracy through trial and error ...
So first of all you need provide people over here by evidence of Iranian ballistic missiles in Yemen not to mention to fire such a missile Yemeni army needs a launcher and also fuel and devices to refuel the missile ... so first tells us the way that Iran smuggled such a weapon with launcher and fuel to the Yemen then show us the Iranian ballistic missiles you captured. not to mentioned those imaginary IRGC personals under cover in Yemen ...

Half of Iraq is not. Nor does it matter. Iraq and Egypt are neighboring states and fellow Arab countries. So your claim is rendered useless.

There is no tradition of chewing khat in KSA.

You know nothing. You are an Iranian that has not clue about Yemen, the Arab world nor do you speak Arabic or follow events in Yemen on a daily basis as I do. All your information derives from Iranian Wilayat al-Faqih regime propaganda. I have already exposed your likes 1000's of times on PDF. Post 30 alone in this thread speaks for itself.

In other news:

Apparently on the Iranian section, propaganda is posted by using a clip from Kuwait which is 3.5 years old, claiming that it is from KSA (Riyadh) after the supposed non-existing missile hit the King Khaled Airport.

https://twitter.com/x/status/927724801262628866

Repeat after me. Incompetent terrorist groups such as Hezbollah and Houthis have no place in any civilized country or any Arab country. Or any terrorist group for that matter/armed group that undermines the states and the aspirations of the people. They offer no progress. Only regress, violence and instability. Locals and the world will not accept their presence forever.

Iranian users here are writing lies, factual inaccuracies and trying to distort the truth. They are also supporting a terrorist cult in the Houthis.

WARNING (extremely graphic) - Houthi crimes on the people of Yemen exposed:

https://twitter.com/ERYANIM

Just posting the twitter user.

Houthis will and should be exterminated for their untold and systematic crimes and destruction (2.5 decade old) of Yemen and the Yemeni people. I personally will not rest until that terrorist cult is rendered useless.

Repeating lies won't make it true . the allegiance of Yemen army is with Saleh not anybody else and all weapons used in yemen are the one that were in possession of Yemen army or the ones that were nothing but RC suicide toys.

And you claim you are true because you are Arab and that alone shows how unbiased your sectarian mind set is.
And before claiming to know any other country know your own country

Yes its clear that there is no khat chewing tradition in KSA .
From the first article

The overall lifetime prevalence of khat chewing was 33.2% (95% CI 31.8–34.7) and was significantly higher for males 42.2% (95% CI 40.4–43.9) than for females 11.3% (95% CI 9.6–13.1) (P < 0.001). Current khat chewers accounted for 28.7% (95% CI 27.4–30.1) of the population sampled; 36.9% (95% CI 35.2–38.6) of whom were males, which is a significantly higher percentage than the 8.7% (95% CI 7.3–10.4) of current khat chewers who were females (P < 0.001)

From the second article

The overall Khat chewing prevalence among students was 20.5% (95% C.I.: 19.27–21.79). The prevalence was significantly higher among males, at 33.1% (95% CI: 31.16–35.08), than among females 4.3% (95% C.I.: 3.39–5.31) (P<0.001). Univariate analysis revealed that gender, age, academic performance, friends’ smoking and Khat chewing, and students’ smoking status were associated with a significantly high risk of Khat chewing (P<0.001 for all).

I wonder why you want to misinform us on something so simple . if your mindset is to hide something so irrevelant and simple then how the rest of your posts can be trusted.

And another question how you claim to know were my source of information is . can you for sure say were I live or what media I look at.

But Iran is funding the rebels in Yemen. Are they not ? Saudia on other hand is bombing the hell out of Yemen.

even if we want we can't found them and even USA admit the Houthis moved south against the warnings of iran

No lies. Solely facts as usual.

No it is not. The official Yemeni army fights side by side with the Arab coalition. Only elements loyal to Ali Abdullah Saleh (former ousted dictator who fought against the Houthi terrorist cult many times) fight alongside the Houthi terrorist cult. However you can dispute those worldwide known facts just as you can claim that Iran is the most successful country on the planet. Nobody cares.

Well, Iranians have always demonstrated their lack of knowledge about Yemen, the war in Yemen and the Arab world in general. This thread is another confirmation of that fact. My post 30 for instance speaks for itself.

You don't get it do you?

There is no tradition of chewing khat in KSA because it does not grow anywhere in KSA. It is only chewed by a small minority of people in Jazan (a region bordering Yemen directly) and mostly along the border and by the Yemeni community. It is found nowhere else. Nor is it a tradition. It is something that came mostly after the mass-migration of Yemeni workers to KSA and them having introduced it. Which is why KSA has been catching khat-smugglers ever since on a weekly basis.

Khat chewing is no tradition in Hijaz, Najd, Eastern Arabia, Northern Arabia or any other region in between although khat can/could grow in most parts of KSA.

That's like saying that it is a tradition in Iran to wear a few traditional Arab dresses and clothing because Arabs in Iran do it.

Don't distort facts. Mention clearly that this is about 1 region (Jazan) that borders Yemen directly and which is home to many tribes of Yemeni/shared origins and home to a large Yemeni expat community. And the percentages as per that report are not even big. In Northern Yemen EVERYBODY (95%) chew qat. It is a epidemic and this is well-known too.

And is the culture of people of jazan different from the people of Yemen or you don't consider jazan parte of KSA

By the way 33% or 42% of male is enormous .and the army you say is supporting had I founded later the majority of Yemen army supported houthi movement just go and look at the news from the beginning of the fighting.

1) Saudi Arabians and Yemenis are neighbors, fellow Arabs and brothers and sisters.

2) Wars involving KSA and Yemen can be counted on 3 fingers. 2 of those wars are aimed at a less than 25 year old terrorist cult called Houthis. Using your logic Iran is at war against Iraqis, Syrians and Lebanese.

3) There is nothing in this world called "Southern Persian Gulf region". Yemen does not even border the Gulf expect for the Gulf of Aden. Other than the Arabian Sea, the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb. Yemen is an Arab country located on the Arabian Peninsula. The southwest of it. In West Asia/Southwest Asia/Asia/MENA/Northern Hemisphere.

4) Qatar is boycotted by almost all Arab countries and almost all Arab governments are heavily against Qatari policies. The reason why Qatar was boycotted is explained in detail in this video below:

I suggest watching it. Only 5 minutes long. You and others will learn a lot.

As for Qatar, Saudi Arabians and Qataris are brotherly people as well. 90% of all Qataris originate from KSA and so does the ruling Al-Thani dynasty. Not only that the temporary political dispute has not claimed a single life. Anyway rest assured, Qatar will change their behavior. They have already.

5) Bahrain is an extension of Eastern Arabia. 90% of the historical territory of Eastern Arabia lies in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province. It's the same story as in Qatar. KSA won't accept instability in a brotherly nation that relies heavily on KSA or give backward and failed Islamists with a foreign agenda (Wilyat al-Faqih supporters ) any room to breath. They will never rule anything. The demographics of Bahrain nowadays (the majority is Sunni today) will ensure this as will common sense and the desire to progress and not regress.

6) It was the Egyptian military that decided to remove an incompetent regime. KSA had nothing to do with it other than always standing beside the Egyptian people and the Egyptian people spoke clearly. Ask any Egyptian user on PDF. Not a SINGLE one supports Morsi or the MB. Foreigners (non-Arabs) have no clue about what went on in Egypt back then.

@Frogman @EgyptianAmerican @MICA @Hell NO @Gomig-21 @Amir_Pharaoh @Mahmoud_EGY @Ahmad Torky @Amun etc.

7) Do you have any proof that UAE was involved in the coup in Turkey? Moreover do you have a prove of it not being an inside job? Many observers, locals as well as foreigners believe that. @Khafee

8) Hadi has a transitional figure and his government was on the right cause until the incompetent Houthi terrorist cult started attacking Yemen and Yemenis and causing trouble. Aided by a removed president (Ali Abdullah Saleh).

9) Sure, Iran was "against" it in another universe maybe. In other news, Iran is home to more jungles than Congo.

10) There is no 24/7 bombardment. Do you think that 5000 civilians killed by the Arab coalition (UN data) would be this few after almost 3 years of war if there was bombing 24/7? Houthis have killed more civilians and are the root cause of the war.

KSA has every right to protect itself and prevent Yemen from turning into another Afghanistan as Yemen is a very strategic country just for the Bab el-Mandeb strait alone where 15% of the world's trade passes by.

11) There were no Houthis back in 1962. This just shows how little you know about Yemen. The Houthi
terrorist cult was founded in 1994.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houthis

KSA supported Northern Yemen and the Zaydi monarchy when Egypt (Nasser) invaded Yemen during the North Yemen civil war back in the 1960's. This was due to the split between Arab countries that supported Arab nationalism and secularism and mostly monarchies.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Yemen_Civil_War



Absurd. You don't even know that UAE is the second most important participant in the Arab coalition after KSA. In fact they have done a tremendous job so far. Don't you think that you should refrain from commenting on topics that you have no clue about? I am saying this to you despite you being one of the more informed Iranian users. What should that tell you?

@Khafee



Well, some people love to shot themsleves in the foot. The Mullah Wilayat al-Faqih regime has been doing that continuously ever since 1979. You can't learn an old dog new tricks.

Let summarize your post 30 .

We are friend we are brother we are Arab KSA is master of all Arab
Arab good Iran evil so we are good when we kill our brother and neighbour . Houthis are terrorist because we say so hadi is good because he decided to be more than interim president he decided to be president for life.

If a newly introduced practice found only in one single region of KSA (Jazan) that borders Yemen, a region which is home to one of the largest Yemeni expat communities in KSA, is home to tribes and clans with close ties to Yemeni ones on the other side of the border, means that there is a tradition of chewing khat in KSA (a plant that is not cultivated anywhere in KSA), when even only in that province the rate (your report talks about students and usually teenagers are the ones that tend to experiment with such stuff) is NOWHERE near the levels of North Yemen, then I am going to rest my case.

Actually it makes more sense talking about female genital mutilations being an Iranian tradition since Kurds (one of the largest minorities in Iran) use it frequently. As well as widespread honor killings.

We can also conclude that using various drugs from Russia and Central Asia as well as drugs originating from Latin America (cocaine) or the West (amphetamine) is an Iranian tradition since Iran has one of the largest percentage of drug addicts in the world. Let alone heroin (Afghanistan) where Iran is number 1 in the world.

Actually compared to those drugs khat is a joke.

You can keep parroting that the entire Yemeni army is fighting with the Houthi terrorist cult. As I said this does not change the facts on the ground. I am sure that there are idiots out there who believe that the moon is made out of cheese. So what? Am I going to waste my time on convincing them of that not being the case? Any informed person that follows the Yemeni civil war (not you or any Iranian on PDF that I have seen) will know this.



Yes, I know my post 30 is solely based on facts that nobody can argue with hence your trolling and hence why my factual post was ignored by your compatriot. Speaks for itself really.

No these are Chinese C-801 which Yemeni army received alongside with Thailand.

Yemeni army is operator of both C-801 and C-802 ASMs for sure ... so no need for anyone to provide them with new ASM, otherwise the one whom claims must provide the evidence and so far failed to do so ,where is the evidence of Iranian BMs in Yemen that your officials are claiming day and night? while mighty coalition has surrounded and Yemen is under blockade.

Actually when you are in war whatever that could boost and maintain morale amongst people are appreciated even calling the missiles you already have as "new naval missile" ....

And the point is who made them to starve? martians? and why?you've invaded their lands and now shocked why they are defending themselves? something is much more important than food in the world.

First you should read the history of wars in Yemen.. it is very sad.. so many civil wars between North and South Yemen where millions of Yemenis have died.. this was no attack on Yemen per se, this was to back the legitimate government of Yemen and it is backed by the UN itself..to save Yemen from another long and deadly civil war.. the rest is all propaganda to demean the alliance working on behalf of the UN because it is in its immediate neighbourhood and presents a threat to its security.. the same as what happened in Iraq and Iran deemed it was necessary to intervene..
Apparently most of the former Yemeni army BMs were destroyed in the first opening attacks of the coalition, that is why it is saying now that the new ones come from Iran through Hezbollah..and presented some photos as evidence..I am not confirming or denying anything, this is obviously a war of media and proxies.. so it is difficult to judge or even evaluate..

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran manufactured the ballistic missile fired by Yemen’s Shiite rebels toward the Saudi capital and remnants of it bore “Iranian markings,” the top U.S. Air Force official in the Mideast said Friday, backing the kingdom’s earlier allegations.....

...“There have been Iranian markings on those missiles,” Harrigian told journalists at a news conference in Dubai ahead of the Dubai Air Show. “To me, that connects the dots to Iran.”
