Iran’s proxy Houthi has opened a front against Saudi. Houthi fighters are not only attacking ships in the Red Sea, but are also attacking Saudi soil with ballistic missiles. In the last 24 hours, Houthi has attacked the areas adjacent to the Red Sea several times. Iran’s Supreme Leader Mujtaba Khamenei is believed to be the mastermind behind Houthi’s aggression. There are reports that Mujtaba has prepared a new maze against the Gulf countries, at the center of which is a hidden plan which, if successful, will trap the Gulf countries in such a deadlock that it will be impossible for America itself to break.
saudi arabia It is shocking, but this gunpowder does not have the imprint of Iran, but the name of Houthi. The tension that has been going on between Saudi Arabia and Houthi for the last one week is now turning into a full-fledged war. Houthi has terrorized Saudi several times in the last 24 hours.
Iran’s conspiracy behind Houthi attack
There is a big conspiracy of the Supreme Leader of Iran behind the aggressive stance of Houthi. Mujtaba’s plan is to create a deadlock-like situation for the Gulf countries, so that a complete ban can be imposed on the import and export of these countries. This is the reason why Iran has now activated Houthi, it is terrorizing the Saudi areas adjacent to the Red Sea.
The primary target of Houthi attacks in the last 24 hours was Yanbu and Jizan adjacent to the Red Sea. Houthi fighters attacked Yanbu with ballistic missiles and threatened Yanbu port, while Jizan, a few kilometers away from the Yemen border, was attacked with short range rockets. The oil refinery was attacked here.
The Houthi attacks were so severe that an alert had to be declared throughout Yanbu and Jizan. People were instructed to hide in safe places till further orders.
Why is it attacking Saudi areas?
The question is why the Houthis are attacking Saudi areas adjacent to the Red Sea. After all, what is Mujtaba’s secret plan behind this? Let us also tell you this.
Mujtaba’s plan is to completely stop oil exports from Gulf countries. A deadlock has to be created here which will suffocate the Gulf countries. Iran has already closed Hormuz.
But Saudi Arabia was supplying oil from the Red Sea through the East-West Pipeline. This 1200 km long pipeline starts from Abqaiq in Saudi Arabia, crosses the entire country and reaches Yanbu port.
Some reports claim that countries like Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar were also sending their oil through this pipeline. Saudi Arabia was preparing to increase the capacity of this pipeline in collaboration with the Gulf countries, so that an alternative to Hormuz could be created, but Houthi has almost closed this oil export center by attacking here. Safe oil supply has become very difficult here.
Plan to attack Habshan-Fujairah pipeline
Houthi is not going to be limited to this only. There are reports that at the behest of Iran, Houthi may also attack the Habshan-Fujairah pipeline. Through this, UAE supplies oil bypassing Hormuz. If this happens, a deadlock-like situation will arise in the Gulf. Not even a drop of oil will be sent to the international market from the Gulf countries.
While Houthi is targeting the areas adjacent to the Red Sea, Saudi Arabia’s ships are also being attacked. On Friday, Houthi fighters once again fired missiles at a Saudi ship. This is the third attack on a Saudi ship in the last 72 hours.
This ship had left from Yanbu port in Saudi and was heading towards Jeddah port. Saudi supplies chemicals through this ship. Even before reaching Jeddah, Houthi fired missiles at the ship. The ship suffered minor damage in the attacks, although the ship’s crew is completely safe.
Attempt to stop import-export completely
In fact, while Mujtaba is trying to completely stop the import-export of Gulf countries through Houthi, there is an attempt to put pressure on Saudi Arabia by terrorizing it. This is the reason why Saudi’s brother-in-law is also the target of Houthi. By terrorizing this area adjacent to the Red Sea, Houthi’s attempt is to stop the supply of oil and electricity in the south-western region of Saudi Arabia.
Houthi is also attacking the city of Jizan adjacent to the Red Sea. At the center of the attacks are the Jizan Oil Refinery and the IGCC Power Plant, which are very important for Saudi Arabia. Actually, oil is supplied to the south-west and mountainous areas of Saudi through Jizan Oil Refinery. Jijan-Abha pipeline is used for this.
IGCC power plant is present near this refinery. This is the world’s largest IGCC plant. In this plant, electricity is produced from the remains of the oil refinery. The electricity of the entire Jijan city depends on this power plant. If the power supply from this plant stops, local factories and industries will come to a standstill. There will be blackout in the entire city.
Attack on oil refinery and power plant
That is why Houthi is attacking this oil refinery and power plant, so that a large supply of oil and electricity can be generated.
Meanwhile, to weaken the Houthis, Saudi is carrying out fierce attacks on them. Saudi Arabia has carried out maximum attacks on Hodeidah. His targets were Houthi positions. It is claimed that 2 arms depots of Houthi were destroyed in the attacks. However, there seems to be little hope that the Houthis will stop due to these attacks.
Saudi is one of America’s major partners in Arabia. Iran’s ballistic missiles are already a problem for it. Now due to the opening of front by Houthi, he is surrounded on double front. If Mujtaba succeeds in his plan, there could be a crisis of oil and electricity in large parts of Saudi Arabia. In such a situation, Prince Salman will have only two options: either put pressure on Donald Trump to make an agreement with Iran or get the American base vacated from his country.
