Yemen Fights Back - Saudi Arabia In Deep Sh_t

Well the Houthis are really taking the fight home into Saudi Arabia and into the UAE. Saudi Arabia and the UAE launched an attack against Yemen in 2015 - FOUR years ago. They were hoping that the attack would not last more than TWO WEEKS.  Well it has been FOUR years now and the Saudis are even further away from winning the war.

There has been a significant development over the past few days when Houthi divers (obviously) attached limpet mines to FOUR oil tankers and seriously damaged them. Even more significant is the fact that the attack took place in UAE waters.

A couple of days later the Houthis launched attack drones which blew up TWO oil pumping stations along major Saudi pipelines and set them on fire. Oil flow has been stopped.

This is NOT really an escalation. The Houthis are at last bringing the fight deeper into Saudi Arabia.

My comments :  

That drone attack is quite a distance from the Yemen border, almost 1000 kilometres. The Houthis obviously have the capacity to  launch a drone for such a long distance with sufficient fuel and payload.

The attack on the FOUR tankers took place near the Straits of Hormuz, again a long distance from Yemen. The natural suspects would be Iran (along their shoreline) but they have firmly denied involvement.  Again this shows some advanced capability, however this attack was planned and carried out.  

Brent crude has already hit US70 per barrel.  

The Iranians have de-escalated tensions by saying they are not involved and they will not be going to war anytime soon.

The US has also denied they want to go to war and Donald Trump has dismissed the fake news about the US sending 120,000 troops to the Gulf.

This means that the Saudis - UAE are quite alone in fending off these increasingly sophisticated, daring and extremely low cost attacks by the Houthis.

Their camel is getting cooked.
