🚨🇺🇸🇸🇦 The Houthis are not just a Saudi problem. They are a regional and global problem, says former US Secretary of State and CIA Director Mike Pompeo @mikepompeo, speaking to @AlArabiya_Eng and calling for collective efforts to confront the Houthi terrorist threat. — Iranian support has enabled the Houthis to reach places they could not reach before. — Weakening Tehran’s financial and military capabilities would make the Houthi threat easier to counter. — Iran is attacking fellow Muslim countries while, he says, it has not fired a missile into Israel in a long time. 🔴 Pompeo’s remarks underscore the danger of Tehran arming a terrorist group with increasingly destructive capabilities and extending its reach. A group chanting death to America now threatens civilians, global energy supplies and international shipping. Its capacity to disrupt the world’s economic arteries could make it even more dangerous than ISIS. The world must unite behind effective collective deterrence. Saudi and international warnings are not propaganda. They describe a catastrophe already unfolding.

🚨🇮🇷 The Tehran visit by Saudi Defence Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman @kbsalsaud 🇸🇦, alongside Pakistan’s Asim Munir 🇵🇰 and Türkiye’s Ibrahim Kalın 🇹🇷, is an effort to avert renewed war between the United States 🇺🇸, Israel and Iran and protect the region from its consequences. — This visit supports Qatari and Pakistani mediation and gives Iran a last chance to prevent a wider war that could engulf Iran, the Gulf states and the wider region, including countries without borders with Iran. — Saudi Arabia, Türkiye and Pakistan will defend their people, territory and critical infrastructure. An Iranian attack on any member would trigger the Mecca Pact’s collective defence commitments to safeguard their countries and regional security. — I believe this visit had nothing to do with the Houthis, and they were not on the meeting’s agenda. They are a terrorist militia with no value or strategic weight, even to Iran. — Renewed war without a credible plan to contain escalation could send shocks through energy markets, shipping and global trade. Preventing that outcome requires serious diplomacy and a clear readiness to respond to aggression. 🔴 Mohammed Alhamed

🚨🇸🇦 Update: What does daily life look like in Riyadh and across Saudi Arabia amid Houthi terrorist attacks? 🔵 King Khalid International Airport reopened and resumed flight operations today. 🔵 Events, conferences, concerts and entertainment activities continue. 🔵 Restaurants, cafés and public spaces remain busy as usual, late into the night. 🔵 The Kingdom continues to welcome heads of state and host diplomatic visits, cultural exchanges and entertainment events.

If Iran carries out its threats, regional strategic patience will end, pushing Gulf to help bring down the regime Tehran can gamble on Washington’s politics. It can’t escape the consequences next door. —🤡🇮🇷:”If America attacks us,we’ll hit our neighbors—we can’t hit America”🤷‍♂️

🚨🇸🇦 Riyadh residents share their daily life experiences and their sense of safety in the Saudi capital with Al Arabiya English presenter Leigh-Ann Gerrans amid regional tensions. — “I really do feel like we all have a good sense of security here. We do feel safe and taken care of.” — “I’m reaching my seventh month here in Riyadh, and I can actually officially say that it feels like home.” — “There’s no better place to raise kids than in Saudi. And even now, I do still feel safe here. Life goes on.”

🚨✈️ Oman’s 🇴🇲 SalamAir has resumed direct flights from Muscat to Tehran, Iran 🇮🇷, after months of suspension, with two weekly services planned—despite sweeping U.S. 🇺🇸 sanctions targeting Iranian aviation. — Washington has explicitly warned that anyone doing business with sanctioned Iranian airlines risks being cut off from the global financial system. — Oman plays a productive and important role in mediating between the U.S. and Iran. Has the U.S. authorized these flights? 🤷🏻‍♂️@SecScottBessent

Fareed, there is a bigger picture here. Reports point to global and regional actors enabling Iran to supply the Houthi terrorist militia with advanced weapons and technology. Yet Saudi Arabia and the coalition remain determined to defeat them and end their threat for good. Haykel @BernardHaykel is right about their radicalism, brutality and aggression. No more deals. No turning back. But I disagree with his assessment that the Houthis cannot be defeated. I believe Saudi Arabia and Yemeni forces will crush them and restore Sanaa to Yemen’s legitimate government within weeks or months. 👌🏻🇸🇦 What’s missing from this interview is any acknowledgment of the innocent lives the Houthis have taken. Ending their terrorist threat is essential to regional security, global trade and freedom of navigation.

🚨🇸🇦🇺🇸 Saudi Arabia is confronting a Houthi terrorist threat backed by regional and international actors, endangering American interests and global security. Gen. Jack Keane’s @gen_jackkeane warning on Fox News highlights the danger posed by Iran 🇮🇷, its proxies, and their advanced weapons suppliers. — Houthi missiles threaten the Kingdom, international shipping, American and global interests. — Washington and its allies must join Saudi Arabia’s military efforts to eliminate the Houthi terrorist threat, impose crippling sanctions on its backers, and pursue those who arm, finance and back it. — The international community will bear the cost of a stronger Houthi terrorist militia. Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 has decided to eliminate this threat. There is no turning back.
