Saudi Arabia Joins Yemen's Government in Attacking Iran's Houthi Proxy Army

The IRGC's proxy army in Yemen, the Houthis, struck two Saudi airfields, with light damage. More seriously, they had also seized key positions on the southern tip of the Yemeni coast on the Red Sea, opening a second front for the IRGC to attack the export of oil in an effort to force the world to stop Trump from destroying them.

The terrorist-aligned AP:

Saudi Arabia's General Authority of Civil Aviation said airports in the cities of Najran and Jizan were hit on Monday, damaging both facilities and leaving three lightly injured. The statement didn't say who was responsible, but followed an announcement by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels that they fired missiles and drones at the kingdom.
Houthi Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree said in a statement on Tuesday they had fired toward a third airport on Tuesday. The Associated Press could not confirm whether the Houthis had hit Abha International Airport. Saudi authorities did not immediately comment.
The Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen said Tuesday it intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile launched by the Iran-backed Houthis toward Khamis Mushait, a city in southwestern Saudi Arabia that's home to a major Saudi military base.

Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey have sent their own troops to assist the Yemeni government in driving the Houthis back out of the coastal areas.

...
The Houthis were fighting Tuesday around Dhubab, a strategic town in Yemen that its internationally recognized government had previously said it had retaken, a senior Yemeni military official told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to reporters.
Saudi Arabia and its allies in Yemen's government have launched a military campaign to reclaim Houthi-controlled territory near the southern tip of the Red Sea to prevent disruptions to oil being exported out of the region.

AP is excited that Iran managed to hit a tanker moving out of the Strait of Hormuz, though the hit does not seem to have killed anyone, stopped the tanker from moving, or caused any oil to spill.

An outbound tanker transiting the Strait of Hormuz was struck by an "unknown projectile" on Monday, the British military said in a late report Tuesday. There were no immediate reports of casualties or environmental impact.
Even as Iran has lost its near-complete chokehold on the strait, the ongoing risk of Iranian attacks keeps overall ship traffic well below prewar levels.

Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey have activated the "Mecca Defense Alliance" to evict the Houthis.

Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey have agreed to "activate collective defense commitments amid ongoing threats," Saudi Arabia's Arab News said on October 6. This is an important step.
The new alliance has emerged over the last several months. The Houthi offensive in September in Yemen presented the coalition with its first major test. This is because the Houthis launched missiles at Saudi Arabia and directly harmed Saudi citizens.
Arab News said that "Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey on Monday agreed to immediately implement collective-defense commitments under the previously agreed Mecca Defense Alliance, including the swift deployment of agreed forces and other military capabilities to the Kingdom amid ongoing threats."
Saudi Arabia has been working over the last month to prepare a counter-offensive in Yemen. This initiative came after setbacks hit the forces of the internationally recognized government of Yemen, which lost ground around the Bab el-Mandeb strait.
Many observers wondered whether Pakistan and Turkey would come to Riyadh's aid. All of these countries are either partners or close allies of the US, and they have access to advanced military equipment, partly as a result of their US affiliation.
However, it was not clear that Turkey would want to get involved in a conflict in Yemen. In part, this is because Ankara tries to balance relations with Iran, with which it shares a border. Pakistan also has ties with Iran and shares a border with Iran.

Now, Turkey and Pakistan appear to be increasing their support for Riyadh. "The decision was announced following an emergency meeting of the alliance's Strategic Political and Defense Committee in Riyadh to discuss security developments and threats Saudi Arabia is facing during the regional conflict with Iran and its proxies. The alliance was formed by an agreement signed on August 7," Arab News observed.

Update: More details on the fighting from Duane Patterson.

See this graphic video to see Saudis running down and gunning down Houthis while mounted in troop transports. (I guess, I can't see the vehicles. It's POV.)

There were also deadly drone attacks on ground forces.

There are conflicting claims about who launched these attacks, and against whom. Some accounts claim these are videos of Houthi drones attacking Saudi forces, and other accounts say they're Saudi drones hitting the Houthis.

I'm not sure which is correct. The drones are hitting pick-up trucks, which are usually associated with terrorist/guerilla armies, not professional armies. So I'm guessing the IRGC-controlled Houthis are lying and repurposing videos of their own deaths as great victories.

Looks like the Houthis are now using fiber optic drones https://t.co/ZAjqwFnC4b

Most of the "tankers" Iran has hit are cargo vessels that docked with Iran (humanitarian aid is allowed through the blockade, all of which are boarded and inspected by the US Navy).

Their rial is roughly 2.7 million to the USD and there's open urban warfare between IRGC and Basij forces and some kind of uprising.

The actual economy has collapsed and the barter system has mostly replaced any currency.

Iran has no access to dollars and can only pay their troops in rials which can't buy anything.

The humanitarian aid isn't doing much. I doubt it's even pumping the brakes.

46 New tanker hit and why the us isn't doing jackshit to uphold their "tanker for tanker" doctrine. "why isn't Trump responding?" Air defense munitions depleted, midterms approaching, pivoting to helping Saudi Arabia against Yeman...if they attack Iran, they may be overwhelmed by the retaliation, and it looks like Iran knows it.

Do these attacks just do some damage to the tankers?? Why isn't iran trying to sink tankers but rather just causing damage to them. Like won't sinking one or two ships (which the US has done to iran near the indian coast) raise human capital and insurance to an unprecedented scale?

Iran is just doing enforcement, not trying to escalate with these strikes. Removing a ship from service for weeks, months or more is doing plenty. It ensures that normal traffic cannot return to the Strait which seems to be their strategic goal for the time being.

Iran gets a significant amount of food from fishing the strait. If they sank a fully or even partially loaded tanker the amount of oil released could be catastrophic to that food supply. Not to mention ancillary ecological affects to the area.

63 Yemen's been divided between north and south for a long time, since back to when the Ottoman Empire occupied the north and British-aligned tribes (then later, after WWII, the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen) occupied the south. Desert tribes that would raid each other from time to time. North and south unified in 1990, but they've continued to fight each other ever since. They will always fight each other.

We recognized the north ("Houthis") from 1946 to 1967, when they kicked us out, then again from 1972 to 1990. We recognized the south from 1972 to 1990 (and arguably until today).

Houthis have been lobbing Iranian missiles at the Saudis now even before these recent events. Saudis and UAE invaded the Houthis and got their asses kicked by degenerate drug addicts of the Houthis back in the Trump I term.

I think the Saudi back stabbing ways has disgusted Trump to the degree that when they asked us to bomb the Houthis, we told them to do it themselves--as long as the Houthis left US shipping alone, we were not going to be a Saudi rent a cop.

Assuming they still have the missiles, and the targeting systems, and that they don't get intercepted.

Mostly, it seems to be smaller drones with, effectively, a grenade as explosive payload.

Oil and Gas are also about as dense as water or lighter. There are a number of cases in WWII of savaged tankers hanging around for days. One was the Tanker Ohio sending fuel to Malta, it took 2 destroyers tied alongside to move her the last day or so travel and once they pumped out the fuel the keel of the ship broke and it sunk in harbor, but saved Malta from having to surrender.

Loyalty and Arabs is pretty much a jokes, even to each other. Tribe and family is what matters to them.

140 Import more so that by 2029 it's impossible for RN to get a majority.

Who knows what will will happen when RN wins next year, and I'm very hopeful this time that they have a chance.

142 >>Which pisses off the City of London to no end. That is about the only remaining industries that UK has-finances, insurance, and markets. And Lloyds is close by MI-6 hq for a reason. Traditionally been a very close relationship between the two.

You know what else is right around the corner?

IMO headquarters.

City of London. A financial power that flies largely below the radar.

Are we ever going to catch all of them? Sickening. Biden is a traitor.

BREAKING: I'm told by DHS sources that the two suspects wanted for attempted murder in connection to the stabbing & robbery of an off-duty NYPD detective in NYC on Friday are both Dominican illegal aliens who were caught and released at the AZ border by the Biden administration & both have lengthy criminal histories in NYC, including an ignored ICE detainer.

Both suspects remain at large, and while NYPD hasn't officially released their names yet,
@FoxNews
is told they've been identified as 24-year-old SNEIDER MEJIA BAUTISTA and 25-year-old DANGELO RAFAEL JEAN CARABALLO.

United Airlines captain Ibrahim R. Mossallam is reportedly still flying passengers as of October 6, 2026, despite describing the October 7 Hamas massacre, which killed 1,200 people and saw babies taken hostage, as “resistance by brave people.”

Live and Let’s Fly reported on October 3 that he had returned to the cockpit as the captain.

They do. Russia and the Ukes used it here or there over the years. You can fry out the drone itself and it worked for a while, now they harden them up more if they care.

Plus those EMP carriers are uncommon, so there's room for the cheap ones for scouting, screwing with the grunts in the cracks. If they have a good target they send in a big and fast one directly.

148 I do not trust the Pakistanis or Turks.

As for prisoners of whatever age, I would not expect them to have that high a survival rate in detention, no matter how many are taken.
