Iran, Iraq's Militias, and the Houthis Are Coordinating! This Changes Everything

Hello everybody and welcome to Geopolitical Trends, where truth matters. I've stood on the ground in both countries, in Yemen and Saudi Arabia. I wrote extensively on both countries, Iran and Saudi Arabia, and I am telling you what just happened in Najran Airport is not the story you are being told. And why this matters to you. In this analysis, I'm going to be providing you an in-depth, you know, it's two countries that I know quite well about. I've been there, as I mentioned, and I'm gonna detail for you what the media is not telling you or doesn't even want you to know or misleading you in a different direction. So what happened as of August 4th, yesterday, Ansarullah, or Houthis, that is military spokesperson Yahya Sarea, announced that a drone strike on a sensitive target. And where that sensitive target was located, or is located, is— was located in Najran Airport, which is an international airport in the southwestern part of Saudi Arabia. Let me put the map for you. As I said, I've been on the ground in that area., uh, Jezran. It's in the southwestern part. No, and here is what Ansarullah are saying. And again, I've been around long enough to know when someone is bluffing versus when someone is telling the truth. One thing I can tell you, I'm trying to upload the picture, uh, that I got the confirmation from Yahya Saree, or the spokesperson for the Ansarullah military, in which it disclosed right there— here is posted on the date— and it says Iran-backed Houthi group announced through its military spokesperson Yahya Saree that it has carried out a drone attack targeting what it described as a sensitive target. So it is confirmed, even though Western media and the Saudis, they are not even coming forward with the information. But beside that, we're going to move forward with disclosing exactly what this is. So the Houthis are saying it was a precise hit. So, and of course, there was no immediate confirmation from the Saudi officials. They will have to not confirm it. And what you're going to be hearing starting actually this afternoon moving forward, you're going to be hearing that, oh, the Saudis were able to intercept all this. No, and this is exactly why when the Houthis said it was a sensitive target, they didn't want to disclose it at the beginning right away. That was for a reason why they didn't want to do that. So, and this is again where you have to think in terms of what is the stated justification for this. Why did Ansarullah, uh, went ahead with this attack? Because the attack was conducted in response. Of course, the Saudis denying it, in response to what the Ansarullah saying, that the Saudis drones incurs into— there was an incursions by the Saudi drones into the Yemeni airspace, and were specifically in two locations. So I'm gonna provide you, uh, the exact locations. One of them is Saada Saada is right. When you look at this picture, I'm gonna share another picture. That's me in the desert in Saudi Arabia. This is part— when you go further down or south, you're gonna end up in Saada near Yemen border. That is exactly why the Houthis are saying what they're saying. So one of the locations that the Saudis sent their drones for surveillance was Saada. The second one was Hajjah. Hajjah and Sa'dah, those are close provinces, governorates, whatever term you want to use. And that is the reason why the Ansarullah retaliated with this. So first of all, you ask yourself why the heck the Saudis are sending their drones surveillance on a sovereign nation. Of course, the government inside Sana'a are allowing the Saudis to do because they are backed by the Saudis. Ansarullah are not. And this is where the spokesperson Yahya Saree, he described this as a violation of our airspace that will go— that will not go unpunished without retaliation. Pay close attention, attention to the wording. It's the same statements Iran Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi, Dr. Abbas Arakchi, used when the United Arab Emirates, I think, launched some drones or something at Iran. It's the exact wording. Any violation will not go unpunished. And that's exactly what the Ansarullah did. So put this within the broader context. What you're going to notice, you're going to notice an escalation that is going out of spiral. Yeah, and I'm going to take you back a few dates. Go back to July 25th. What did the Ansarullah did? What did they targeted? They targeted the Aramco's oil facilities in Jizan and Yanbu. And I did a video for you about this one, so I'm not going to be repeating myself to those Who did not see it, just go back to the channel and look for the, uh, that specific video. That's 25th— I'm sorry, that's July 25th. Then you go to July 13th. What happened? Saudi Arabia came under a missile attack by Ansarullah. And here is where the lies comes in on part of the Saudis, not the Houthis. Or Ansarullah, because the Saudi so-called-led coalition saying that their air defenses dealt with the threat from ballistic missiles and intercepted all the missiles. Of course, we all know it's the same argument Israel has been making about when Tel Aviv was hit hard by Iran's Khorramshahr-4 missiles. You know, we all know. Go back also to July 20th. What happened? On July 20th, Ansarullah announced a maritime ban on the Saudi-linked shipping in the Red Sea. And I got a picture of some of the cargo that belongs to Saudi. This is a Saudi cargo that was sort of pushed to turn around. Okay, and what they're saying is that the reason what the Houthis on Ansarullah did that is because the Saudi blockade Houthi-held areas. And that's where the missile was fired and so forth. And I'm not gonna get into this because there is an accurate account, and I'm gonna provide you the link that wasn't from Washington, that wasn't from Riyadh, that wasn't even from the Middle East or West Asia. The article that I found, and I collaborated the sources of it, it was from Xinhua. This is where you have to understand Why I ask the question, why this matters to you to know. So I'm going to put the link in the chat box from Xinhua News platform and you can read that article yourself. It's in English, not a Chinese language. So all this comes as Yemen civil war truce, which is was between Saudi Arabia, Arabia Saudia and Yemen back in 2022, has broken down completely now. So what is the Saudis now wants to do? Saudis wants to lead, because back then, remember back then, they led a coalition battling Ansarullah. And shame on some Muslim countries, they want ahead to join the Saudis in the slaughter against the Yemeni people. The US, we were providing them weapon and intelligence target. The Germans, French, Canada, France, Canada, and it was another European country, was was providing weapons. UK, all providing weapons to Saudis, but they couldn't defeat them. And I wrote extensively about this one. As a matter of fact, I do have an article from 2017. I'm gonna put it after I share with you an excerpt from that. But first, let me share the excerpt from my book during the time when this fighting was going on, as I was doing the research for the Saudi book. Here is what I wrote back then: The Wahhabist ideology has extended into the far corners of the Muslim world, from Pakistan and Afghanistan to Somalia and Sudan. Forget about engaging in a dialogue about the lies and preserved interpretation promoted— what? Wahhabism— promoted by Wahhabism, let alone questioning the religion of Islam. And when I wrote the article on the Huffington Post about this specific incidents between Saudi Arabia and Yemen, here is what I wrote. Firstly, if and when Crown Prince MBS, who belongs to the Sudairi tribe, becomes king, the stage could be set for internal fighting among different sects and tribes along the bloodline within the royal family. Religiously, it all depends on whether MBS is able to purge the kingdom of misguided religious advisers. The fanatical Wahhabist ideologues, for example, use a twisted interpretation of Islam to justify their ends, whatever those ends may be. I doubt MBS can control them. He will step foot on a dangerous path if he seeks to challenge the influence of the Saudi religious establishment. So I'm gonna put the link for you, and again, I wrote this article back in 2015, if I'm not mistaken. I don't remember the dates, believe it or not, but it's in, in, in when I used to write for Huffington Post. So So right there, that's the article for you. So, and again, why am I saying all this? I'm highlighting all this to sort of bring to the fore what mainstream media will want you to believe regarding this story, what the Houthis did and so forth. So because what the mainstream media is going to tell you, it's going to tell you that Ansarullah only claims are exaggerated in the past. You know, and the Najran Airport has been targeted repeatedly over the years. You go back to 2019, 2021. So in other words, oh, this is nothing, it's just smoke, it's just lies, exaggeration by Ansarullah, which is not true. It is not true. And here is why it's not true. First of all, just to continue on what mainstream media is saying, they're saying that the Saudi coalition sources have intercepted rather than confirm this hits. So the specific claim of a sensitive target being struck could be treated as just exaggeration, which is not true because I have the evidence and I'm gonna share it with you in a second here as to why that is. So, so why is this matter strategically to begin with? Because what you have to look for right now is the renewed hostilities have heightened now concerns over the security in the Red Sea and Bab-el-Mandeb, to be specific. Remember that picture I had for you a few days ago? I don't know if I still have it or not. No, where it shows Bab-el-Mandeb, the Suez Canal, and the Strait of Hormuz. This is one of the key why you need to understand where these dynamics are headed and why mainstream media is going to rush into this. So, so raising the risk now of broader military confrontation after years of relative calm in Yemen. And I would not be surprised that the Saudis will be sort of funding some sort of mainstream media to circulate this. I have it on good authority, on good authority, to those whom I have a copy of the book. Make sure you get a copy because I detailed a lot of information about this specific stuff. And by the way, the book was cleared by the US government. I can't publish without the approval of the US government, and they never said no, to be fair to them. So, and this is why, if you want to get a copy of this book, here is the link for it. I urge you, if you want to learn, if you want to be educated about really what's going on, so mainstream media will not mislead you, here is your chance. And once again, why am I highlighting all this? Why am I highlighting all this? Is because when you think about, oh, to go back to this story, when I was doing the book, what happened at the time, there is an author, not an author, he's an op-ed, Friedman in New York Times used to write for them. And he wrote something negative about MBS. And guess what happened after that? He was flown in to Saudi Arabia, got the royal treatment, and he went ahead and changed his story. I had the article, and I disclosed that in the book. Shame on Friedman for really flipping because the MBS prince invited him. That's why I'm leaning more towards believing that what the mainstream media is saying right now is being pushed by the Saudis. I know how these things work. I was inside Washington. We know how these things usually work to move forward. So when we put this within the context, because you have to put this within the proper context, and the proper context has to do first of all with the collapse of the Yemen ceasefire that was agreed upon between Saudi Arabia and Ansarullah in 2022. And what you have right now is rapid escalation cycle because the stupidity of the Saudi government, First of all, targeting Iran plane that landed in Sana'a. Second is sending drones for surveillance over Sa'dah and Hajjah and other locations in the, between the border of Yemen and Saudi Arabia. Why the heck would you do that? If that's not stupidity. So, and this is why you have to put this within all the context as to why it's very, very important to understand this. And that's why Ansarullah announced that on Tuesday, which means yesterday, they have carried out the drone attack targeting what he described as a sensitive target in Najran Airport. And I'm going to detail for you what's in that sensitive target, what's in it. You'll be surprised. So now here is the tank. And again, we already know. Now you know at least why. Why? Because the Saudis violated the airspace of Yemen, specifically Ansarullah and Hajjah governorate. Let me put the map for you once again. This is one thing you need to understand, despite what the media is going to be telling you otherwise. This is the exact aspects of why Ansarullah reacted quickly. So what did Saudi Arabia did on July 30th? You remember when Ansarullah imposed and announced the blockade on the Saudi tankers. The Saudis rushed immediately into issuing a statement. What was in that statement? Oh, we have 14 countries that includes Egypt, Pakistan, Turkey, Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan, Bangladesh, and even Yemen. What do you mean by Yemen? Do you mean the central government? Because the central government is different than Ansarullah. You know, the pathetic governments that are now joining the Saudi coalition because the Saudi is going to bribe them. That's usually how it works with those pathetic Arab countries and some Muslim countries, what have you. Including Pakistan, including Turkey, Qatar, Bahrain, and Jordan, and Bangladesh, and what have you. So, but remember, this is nothing but a window dressing. They all agreed to establish a multinational maritime defense alliance. Do you think they're gonna take— if the United States couldn't stay in the Red Sea, what makes you think that those countries will? They won't. They just taking the money from the Saudis. It's because you have to understand the reality that the Saudis or Saudi Arabia for that matter cannot survive without oil right now. So this is why you hear the hypes about this Vision 2030, which is hypes, no more, no less. And again, I wrote extensively on this. This is nothing but a misleading aspects of it. Yeah, they're gonna build some building here and there. Saudis cannot produce. Most of the Gulf states— and once again, I want you to know, I'm just being objective in my assessment. I have nothing against any country in the region, but those countries cannot produce anything if they weren't for oil. And even for oil, they're hiring foreign companies to come work and and process the oil and petrochemical stuff, what have you. Those locals cannot. They are not set for that kind of mindset. That's not for them. That's what I'm saying. So Saudis are trying now to go with this diversification. And just to let you know, there is a massive borrowing inside Saudi Arabia because now you're gonna see, mark my word on this, give it a year and a half, A year and a half. And if you have access to the exact number of the Saudi budget, you're gonna see that the numbers go down because what Ansarullah have done. So non-oil sector like tourism— who's gonna go to Saudi Arabia for tourism? I mean, come on, let's be realistic. And again, I am not putting down the country. Who's gonna go to Saudi Arabia for tourism? Literally, just be honest. And sometimes honesty hurts, but you can't be cherry-picking the information because the harsh reality is this: Saudi Arabia relies on oil for about 60% of the government revenues. This is the harsh reality. So now let me move into disclosing to you what is the significance of the target. What is that significance? Why Ansarullah targeted this radar system? So, which by the way, it was not confirmed by Saudi Arabia, or there were some sources inside the region and they disclosed the information to a news agency in France. This I'm going to tell you as is. So here is the harsh reality. Ansarullah hit Najran Airport main radar system, okay, which in turn, by the time that radar system was hit, all the flights were suspended, all operations were suspended, and the airport listing— because remember, it's an international airport, The upcoming flight status were unknown still till today. So here are the 2 or 3 things that you need to know. As a matter of fact, I'm going to focus on 2 because one of them is tied to tactical that I was aware of. I disclosed this in my book and I guess the government, Washington, was okay with it. The first one is the operational blindness. This is not just a symbolism. Why the Houthis specifically targeted this? Second question within that you're going to ask yourself: how the Ansarullah were able to get this precise location of those radar systems? I'll let your imagination answer that for you. And here is what the regional source disclosed. It disclosed that the airport main radar was hit, uh, was hit, uh, immediately affecting the operation. And the airport website listed flights scheduled for the next few days were unknown. Nobody knows. And this is the thing, here is what you need to understand about this radar. This radar isn't just for commercial flight tracking. No, it's the eyes for anything moving through that airspace civilian or military? Once again, I'm gonna put the map for you, for you to understand how this region is. This is Yemen, this is Saudi Arabia. That particular radar system covers all this area. I know I'm, I'm using my cursor, but you won't be able to see it. And that is exactly why is this important. Okay, that's one. Second, like I said, Najran in itself is not a civilian target. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. And it's confirmed. I knew it from back then because I wasn't in a position to discuss this. Of course, you can't disclose classified info. It's simple as that. However, I was aware of it and I disclosed a version of it and the government in Washington said, It's okay. So here is what you need to know. By damaging the main radar of Najran Airport, which hosts a number of Chinese-made Saudi-winged Loon 2 drones— here is an image of it. This is the Chinese-made, and I'm not that, you know, China just selling the stuff, but you have to understand how this came about. Why is it a problem for Saudi Arabia, not China? Here is another picture of the, the, the, the long drone. Those are special types. Okay, so, and the purpose, the objective that the Saudis deploy those drones is to use to surveil the Ansarullah territories. So of course the media Whatever this was disclosed in France will tell you if accurate. It is accurate. It is accurate. That's what makes the strategic logic for targeting this. And for me, as a geopolitical analyst who deals with security matters, the first logical question I will ask is, where did they get the targeting? Because remember, during the Conflict in Yemen between Saudi Arabia and the coalition, so many Muslim countries embarked on supporting Saudi Arabia. Who was providing the Saudis with the intelligence targets? It was the US. This is no different. So what the drones Saudis are using, it's not the Chinese are guiding this, no. Chinese got engaged in a transaction. So Chinese didn't dictate to the Saudis where to use those drones, and it's not the Chinese business anyway. But the Saudis went ahead and used those for, uh, to monitor the Ansarullah locations, which is directly tied to the justification for retaliation, uh, why the, uh, Ansarullah did that. So here is what I wrote in my book about this part of what the Saudis are doing. And by the way, by the way, why this is now problematic for Saudi Arabia? It's because it is exposed. Exposed for what? It is exposed that it went behind the US back and cut a deal with the Chinese to purchase weapons. The US didn't know. We didn't know at the time. And again, I was on the ground and I'm going to tell you, disclose a location for you. It's not classified. It's based on a need to know, if I may use the term. But again, I disclosed it in my book. I'm not telling you something that I didn't disclose. Here is what I wrote in my book, the Saudi book. A Chinese military website and a military expert said Saudi Technology Development and Investment Company Okay, has signed a protocol with Chinese Aerospace Long March International Trade, known as ALIT, for drone production line at the Binail International Defense Exhibition and Conference in Abu Dhabi in February of that year, meaning 2017 when I wrote it. And again, I disclosed the details in my book, and the site where those were, As-Sulayl location, that's where those drones and some of the type missiles are. Uh, let me, let me share the location of that particular, uh, As-Sulayl. I believe I have a link for it. Where did I put it? Oh, I didn't upload it here. Bear with me, guys. Bear with me just a second here. Okay, I'm gonna upload it for you and you can see, uh, disclose the location. And again, I'm pinning that part. Here is the base, Al-Suleil. Al-Suleil base, which is where the first Saudi ballistic missile facility— not that they have ballistic missiles facility. And this one was built in '87, 1987, or 1998, depends on— 1988, I'm sorry. So which was built near the town of As-Sulayl, which is about 450 kilometers southwest of the Saudi capital Riyadh. Okay, this is why it is important to understand and why also this base is important. Because he housed— the base houses Dongfeng-3 Chinese missiles, which is like not the upgrade system the Chinese have. This is an old Dongfeng-3, yeah, Dongfeng-3 missile systems. It's an old one. Chinese don't even use it now. The Saudis were cutting a deal with the Chinese behind the American back. Now you know why Ansarullah went ahead and target that specific location. So, and this one itself, remember, the Najran hit by, uh, uh, by Ansarullah is exactly an escalation precision. Because remember, since 2019, Ansarullah struck a Patriot defense missile system an arms depot at the same facility. So this is nothing new. Ansarullah knows what they're doing, except that this time hitting the radar specifically fit a recognizable, uh, Ansarullah playbook, which is what? Target the sensors and defenses that enable Saudi surveillance and strike their capability, not just symbolic infrastructure. Not just the oil facilities and what have you. So, and once again, I want to put this on a record— the radar details, it came from an anonymous source. That's why the Saudis couldn't control it. So now the next question that is important for this one here— as a matter of fact, let me play a clip for you as to what the Saudis— and I'll let you decide for yourself once you see Who is in the picture? I'm not gonna play because it has soundtrack. It's just— you can— something you can read. Take a look, please. And I'm playing it just for you. You know who's in that picture? So you got the idea. So when you hear the Saudi Defense Minister— Ministry, rather— saying that, oh, the alliance of the Saudi coalition are aiming to build an institutional defense framework to deal with the growing maritime threats— with what? With what? As I said last time, If the US has moved, and I'm just going to share a picture here, that's not the exact, uh, oh, I don't even have it. The US aircraft carrier back then, Harry Truman aircraft, was on the Red Sea. And what happened when the Houthis start firing? We moved the aircraft carrier out of the region, out of that area. So what makes Saudis think that Egypt and Pakistan and Bangladesh and Jordan and United Arab Emirates and Qatar No, those, they can't fight. Simple as that. And that is exactly the importance of understanding why this is important for now. And the next logical question after I play this clip is the timing of it. If the truth matters to you, hit like, subscribe, and tap that bell. No spin, no agenda, just the stories they don't want you to know. Don't watch from the sideline. Be part of the movement. Your support keeps the truth alive. Thank you. Now, what is the timing of this incident? Because it came crucial. The timing is significant. Why? Because Iran, the IRGC, has drawn up a detailed retaliation blueprint naming energy targets across Saudi Arabia. You know, that's separate from the short clip I did yesterday, which by the way, I'm going to do that video for you for some real details. I will do it on, not tomorrow, I will be, it will have to be on Friday. We're talking, we're looking at a major, this is Rawar, if you know the Rawar oil field. It's about 5% of global oil processed through there. This is the Horace. So I will be detailing this, but suffice it to say for now is that Iran has already sort of drawn a blueprint naming energy targets across Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Israel. That is why It's very, very important. And when mainstream media is saying, oh, this is just an exaggeration by the Ansarullah regarding the targeting of these sensitive targets in Saudi Arabia, they just, they just, they just exaggerating. Because the same argument that was said about when, when Ansarullah fired at an oil facilities in Saudi Arabia, I wrote an article about it. And I disclosed what the media is saying. It's not true because I had evidence. And I keep certain things. I'm going to show you the evidence that was back in 2019 when the media said, oh, the Saudis' missiles intercepted all of them. It did not. You know, one of the oil facilities was targeted is the name of Khourais oil field. Okay, here is the Khourais. That's the normal one. Here is the one that was targeted back in 2019. It says right there, September 15th, 2019. And it shows you the media wants the— they just don't want you to know. So, and that's where the timing of this crucial, because what Iran has in plan— has in place right now, plan in place is should the US target Iran, you're looking at those 3 facilities targeted. You're looking at Israel targeted, and you're looking at Jordan targeted as well, and United Arab Emirates and Qatar. So, and this is why Donald Trump is weighing this kind of strike on Iran energy infrastructure. Taco is not gonna do it. He can't. He knows what the outcome is going to be. Because he's marred into massive corruption, which I will play a clip for you, for you towards the end to highlight to you the money laundering that is going inside. Yes, don't be shocked, don't be surprised. So the other important thing about the timing is the operational link between two tracks. There are two tracks: Saudi Arabia and regional partners. This is where those two things are going. Because one thing you need to know, Ansarullah, when they launched the attack, where was it launched from? Yemen? No, it was launched from Iraq, not Yemen. Why? Because that attack was in coordination with the Iranian-backed Iraqi militia under the IRGC supervision. And I have it on a good authority. On good authority that it was a secret meeting between IRGC representatives and those groups to coordinate. And what does it all mean? It means that Ansarullah campaign against Saudi Arabia isn't happening in isolation from Iran's broader deterrence signaling, except that it functions as one of arms of the wider Iran-aligned pressure campaign. So the Najran claim, the attack on the radar system, should not— you, you, you know, you don't look at it just as standalone Houthi grievances against the Saudis. No, no, no, no. You have to look at it as part of a layered escalation. You know, Iran is signaling the cost to any US-Israel strike because Iran, Al-Ali, the Iraqi militias, you know, those are also threatening a seismic retaliation. And Sarullah is keeping pressure on the Saudi specifically, and all covering the same— all of this happening within same week. Which is why Saudi Arabia has moved to assemble this so-called 43 countries. This is just a window dressing. 43 countries not going to get engaged. They are not going to want to start seeing missiles landing on their country. Oh, which countries? You know, Pakistan. Pakistan has its own economic problems, serious problems. And as a matter of fact, Pakistan now is dealing with the border with Afghanistan. Bangladesh. Bangladesh has more more problems. Jordan— people in Jordan now are so pissed at the government for not disclosing that there is the presence of American forces and covert facilities on their territories. So, so which coalition are we talking about? And protecting the Red Sea from what? You won't be able to defeat, uh, uh, uh, Ansarullah. So, and this is why mainstream media will tell you Oh, there is no explicit link between the Iraqi base coordination reporting and the attack by Ansarullah. Oh, there is no link. No, no, no, no, no, they're just exaggerating. That's not true. That is not true. Once again, I have it on good authority that it was a secret meeting with allied group. And who represented that? Is that commanders from IRGC drew up plans during the brief ceasefire, this that just happened this time, with leaders of the militias from Iraq and Ansarullah. And the plan was on to how expand the scope of the war and increase the cost to Washington. And those commanders from IRGC, they added that the recent attacks on the Middle East, in which US allies were targeted, including Saudi Arabia, are part of this gradual covert plan using Iran's ally— allies there both in Yemen and Iraq— to escalate the attacks if Washington attacks. This is the harsh reality that you need to understand. And this leads us to asking what lies ahead. What's next? And briefly, I'm gonna tell you. Expect continued escalation now rather than de-escalation in the near term. Near term, Ansarullah have now signaled they will keep hitting Saudi targets in response to any perceived airspace violation. And that's why you ask yourself how stupid whomever is advising the Saudi government to go ahead and do that. And with Iran's retaliation blueprint naming Saudi Arabia's energy sites, Rawar, Abqaiq, Khurais, you know, as a target if the US and Israel attack, Saudi Arabia now is exposed on two fronts simultaneously: direct Ansarullah harassment and the risk of being drawn into a wider war. So And once again, this is what you need to understand. And I want to just put this on the record. As far as this so-called coalition of 43 countries, it's just window dressing. Ain't going to happen. I'm telling you here based on experience. Second thing, watch also whether Washington actually moves ahead with the strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure. I have my doubts. But if Donald Trump is pushed, he probably will do it. The guy is not, he doesn't think straight. The only thing is that this is going to trigger a much wider, because I'm telling you right away, the first missile is launched or attacked by the US on energy infrastructure of Iran, immediately Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Jordan. Those will be targeted, and not just by Iran, will be targeted by Iran and its proxies. It's a given. And for those in mainstream media that say, oh, Ansarullah's claims, uh, they're just exaggeration, they have track record, it's a lie. They don't exaggerate. That's why I put the title True to Their Words. They said they will strike and they will strike. So, and again, I proved, I showed you the image of the oil facility that they said the Saudis have intercepted. They did not. Okay, once again, here is what I wrote in my book about the Saudis. The inevitable demise of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is not fiction. It is an emerging reality that requires the undivided attention of diplomats, intelligence officers, foes, investors, weapon dealers, energy analysts, the Chinese, the fundamentalists, and the Shia. It requires the undivided attention of the Saudi commoner who wonders whether his life has any meaning. Of the Saudi citizen who questions why the Al Saud have to cater to his needs from cradle to grave, and of the Saudi citizen who realizes the deceit and the bravado shoved down his throat for so long and now grasps the truth that it is not too late to act. That was my argument. Back then. And that led me to the last part of this live stream. Why should you care? Yeah, because this matters on two fronts. One political, uh, practical, I'm sorry, and one is strategic. Let's talk about the practicality of this. Saudi Arabia's energy infrastructure sits at the center of global oil supply. It's a fact. And any serious hit to Rawar, Abqaiq, or Khurais oil fields will ripple through gas prices and inflation for ordinary people like you and I. So I'm telling you here, and people around the world for that matter, and continued Ansarullah pressure on the Red Sea-Bab-el-Mandeb corridor raises shipping cost and delays that eventually shows up in consumer good prices. This is from the practicality aspect. Then comes the strategic aspects. What's important there? This is a live test, in my opinion, of whether the post-2022 Yemen ceasefire framework is completely dead. A bluff or a genuine intent? Now that's the question behind Iran's deterrence signaling, the energy target list, and it feeds a much bigger one. And that bigger question is, could the wider US-Iran confrontation drag the Gulf states into direct conflict rather than proxy scrimmaging? This is exactly the alliance and escalation terrain I've spent years analyzing out of Washington. And that is the reason why I wanted to do this for you. And for you, and when I see you, I'm referring to me as well. The payoff is practical foresight, not just news. Because here is how I see it. The type of analysis that I provide you, understanding this escalation chain, because it's like chain, everything's linked to other, helps you anticipate the real-world effect on your own life and your loved ones and so forth. Gas, energy prices, if Saudi Arabia, uh, if Saudi facilities gets hit, shipping delays and consumer goods cost if the Red Sea corridor stays contested and market volatility if a wider US-Iran war breaks out. It is also giving you a framework. Why is this important to you? Giving you a framework for reading future headlines. Once you understand, truly, once you understand the collapse of the ceasefire, Once you understand Iran's target list, which I will do for you on Friday, once you understand Ansarullah Saudi dynamics, you know what it's going to provide you with? It's going to provide you with the understanding that the next attack or escalation won't be confusing for you. No, no, no, no, no, no. You will be in a position and be able to place it in the context immediately. That's why it's important. So let me be direct with you, as I've always been. Delivering this kind of connected, ahead-of-the-narrative analysis is what sets my independent geopolitical coverage apart from the mainstream headline reporting. Of course, you can watch whatever you want. It's your prerogative. I just want you to be armed with knowledge based on my years of experience being on the ground in those two countries, dealing with the analysis inside Washington, having my military background, having my linguistic capabilities, and having worked in the intelligence community. And I conclude with this excerpt from my book once again. My concluding thought is that When a hardline Islamic entity ends up controlling Saudi Arabia, if ever, it will most likely distance itself from the United States in order to acquire some legitimacy in the eyes of the Saudis who want change. At that point, it will be probably time to drop the Saudi in Saudi Arabia. The Muslim world will wake up and say Good morning, Arabia. I know some think, oh, that can be Dr. O. Me thinking outside the box. It is my conclusion for you, having spent time on the ground once again in both in Yemen and in Saudi Arabia, having written extensively on Iran, Yemen, Saudi Arabia geopolitics. I don't think And that's my personal opinion. I don't think this Najran strike is an isolated incident. It's a signal of where this region is heading next. The pattern is clear. So a collapsed ceasefire, an expanding Iranian target list, and Saudi coalition scrambling to respond. So I want to leave you with a question. Literally, I would like to have your input on this. Here's the question: if Washington strikes Iran's energy infrastructure and Tehran follows through on its retaliation lists, is Saudi Arabia prepared to fight a war it didn't start and it can't win? So just make sure you drop me, uh, your take in in the comment below, in the comment section. I would greatly, greatly appreciate it. So, and again, uh, I will be doing, uh, an in-depth analysis about— I'm waiting to confirm certain aspects and I'll do it for you. It's unlikely tomorrow. If I could, I'll do it tomorrow, but I, I doubt it. But on Friday I will be doing this because I'm working on other stuff, as I told you last time, about the change of the direction for the channel. You will not be seeing me every day. Because I have some other stuff I need to attend to. There's some consultant work, there are some speaking engagements that I have to prepare for, and so forth. So in any event, uh, uh, I hope you learned something from this brief analysis here. Uh, and again, this is the— I want to share with you the knowledge. That's all it is. Let me go ahead and play some really good clips for you. Because I know some of you waiting for, for, for this one. As always, it's, it's very, very important to understand. All right, let's start with the first, uh, first clip. And the first clip is about an airbase that was attacked, or of course nothing was disclosed. And as I told you, sometimes I wait for few days to confirm the satellite imagery, and once I get it, I'll share it with you because you need to know. All right, take a listen, please.

New satellite imagery appears to show the aftermath of a precision strike on King Faisal Air Base in southern Jordan. The primary target was one of the base's main aircraft maintenance hangars, which shows extensive structural damage with smoke continuing to rise from the impact site. The concentrated blast pattern is consistent with a precision-guided ballistic missile or long-range one-way attack drone carrying a high-explosive penetrating warhead designed to destroy hardened military infrastructure. The loss of specialized equipment, spare parts, and workshop facilities could push the estimated damage from $10 to $30 million range, depending on what was housed inside the structure.

Uh, next one, it's from, uh, uh, Professor Sachs. And I wish most Americans— Israel, really, I wish most Americans would wake up, but they're just oblivious. Take a listen, please.

Has driven so many American wars. Israel has driven so many American wars. And we say absolutely yes, that's our greatest ally. These have been at huge cost to the United States, cost of trillions of dollars, cost geopolitically. But somehow we gave away our foreign policy to Israel years and years ago, and it's been absolutely devastating. And it's interesting to go back and watch Netanyahu speak to the American people. And there's a nice clip of him promising how wonderful the war in Iraq is going to be because Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction. He says 100% certain. Complete lies, by the way. And they knew that they were lies at the time. They have never apologized for dragging the United States into countless wars in the Middle East, spending trillions of dollars running up US debt and doing what? Creating chaos.

Very interesting. Very interesting. Next one is from the incompetent Secretary of State. You know, the guy, he wasn't qualified for the position to begin with.

Because the price they're paying is very high.

Now, what is his problem? His problem with the Iranians has been developing some logo stuff. I don't know the exact detail of it. I'm going to look into that. But I find it ironic that a diplomat will be spending his energy on dealing with this stuff. So take a listen, please. Because the price they're paying is very high despite their tough talk and their flowery language and their stupid Lego videos they put out.

I've never seen them, but they put these things out. On social media, despite all that bravado, they are suffering tremendously and they're going to suffer more until they come to their senses. They're not there yet, unfortunately. Which country?

So I can't tell you who told me.

And despite all the propaganda from the US, Iran still controls the Strait of Hormuz.

Well, he's right. Yeah, Marco is just lying. Just pathetic liar. And speaking of that, I'm going to show you something else, a picture about what he said about China. Okay, but I want you to see the response of the foreign minister of Iran. Take a look here. Okay, here is what Rubio said, that China wants to become the world's most powerful country and is trying to achieve that at America's expense. In response, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi said China has already become a global power through hard work and development, adding that unlike the United States, China does not interfere in other countries' internal affairs or wage war against other nations. Spot on, spot on. This is where you realize how incompetent Marco Rubio is. Next one is about Russia. This will be an interesting one for you, for you, for you to know about. And this pertains, of course, to what's going on with targeting US assets in the Middle East. Take a look, please.

A new battlefield invisible to the naked eye, hidden from fighter jets, surveillance, and radars. According to NBC News, Russia is providing Iran with valuable satellite and signals intelligence, a move that could dramatically strengthen Tehran's ability to track U.S. forces across the Middle East. And that's not all. U.S. and European officials familiar with the matter said the intelligence is also helping Iran jam American-made aircraft and precision-guided weapons used in strikes against the Islamic Republic. If true, this is no longer just a war of missiles and drones; it's becoming a war of satellites, electronic warfare, and invisible signals racing through the sky. The reported intelligence support could allow Iran to better monitor U.S. military movements, improve battlefield awareness, and make it harder for American aircraft and guided munitions to operate effectively. It also signals a potentially deeper military partnership between Moscow and Tehran at a time when both nations are facing growing confrontation with Washington. For years, Russia has been regarded as one of the world's leading powers in electronic warfare. Its military has developed advanced systems capable of disrupting GPS navigation, radar, communications, and satellite-linked weapons. Now, according to U.S. and European officials cited by NBC News, some of those capabilities may be helping Iran challenge American military operations across the region.

And I can attest to that statement as to the Russians' advancement in the intelligence signals. All that stuff. That was my background in the military. So, so their systems are very, very advanced. Next one is from a US ambassador whom I challenged on Instagram. Not Instagram. I'm sorry. I don't have Instagram. I challenged him on X, Twitter. When I was in China during the military parade, So, and I want you to hear what this idiot ambassador said. Take a lesson, please. Oh, let me share the screen first.

Sorry. They demonstrated in this parade was, okay, was technology most likely stolen from the United States or our allies. And, you know, they, they can't Uh, couldn't fight the United States if they tried. You know, we are the, the only world superpower with the biggest, strongest economy, and that's what we need to continue to do. We need to continue to invest in our defense, and we also need to make sure that we continue to protect the American dream and the American entrepreneur.

Yeah, the guy is delusional. Is delusional. That's Whitaker, a U.S. ambassador to NATO. Uh, pathetic idiot. So I know I'm nothing against him as a human being, but to me, idiocy, it's, uh, uh, and that's what prompted me to send my comment. I said, uh, no, no, no, no, they didn't steal it, they developed it. That is exactly why I, uh, I wanted to show you that one. And the last clip I will share with you is about Donald Trump and the money laundering. That's how you realize American system American system is, is corrupted to its core. I wish it were up to me to decide, uh, what to do with those corrupted individuals. You all know what the punishment— I can't say it here, but you all know what it is. So take a listen, please.

Biggest and most underreported stories of the past 24 hours that every American needs to know about is that the sitting former president of the United States had his bank account shut down, not for political reasons, but due to anti-money laundering related issues. Capital One confirmed for the first time ever in a court filing that the bank shut down many of Trump's financial accounts due to suspicious transactions that the accounts were engaging in, not because he was a Republican, not because he is President of the United States, but under anti-money laundering guidelines, they could not keep the accounts open. And that is a major development for a president who now facing allegations in writing of possible money laundering related issues. And I have the latest, I have the court filing. Make sure to hit that subscribe button as we're on the—

okay, I just want to let you know, you'll remember that, uh, that sleazy Lindsey Graham died, just died, you know, he was involved in money laundering. No, the system in America— and if you are an American watching this, you know, pay attention, open your eyes— it's because it's gonna impact your daily life one way or another. That's my word. Anyway, uh, let me say thank you to, uh, I want to By the way, I need to update you guys on where we are with the trip to Asia. We crossed $7,000. So here is the deal. Literally by next week, we need to reach $7,500. Why this number? This number is what's going to allow the donor to match dollar for dollar for $1,000. Up to $1,000. And based on the number I calculated, we have to hit $7,500 for that donor to do that. So, and the month of August is here. Once again, I'm being straightforward with you about all this. If I don't reach the target, then I'll just postpone the trip till some other time. So, because I will need enough time to plan the locations and so forth and what I intend to do. For the whole purpose of this trip. So, so for those who wants to support this Asia trip, here is the link. I will greatly appreciate if you can support this for us to reach that target number. I will greatly, greatly appreciate it. So, uh, for those who wants to support, let me move this one here, and, uh, those support the channel, here is the link for it. And if you want to get copies of my books, there is the one, uh, and I'm working on something. I'll, I'll have a good surprise for you within about 2 weeks or so to let you know, and we just go from there. So, but before I go, let me say thank you to, uh, uh, uh, uh, my contractor 8372. Thank you so much for buying me cups of teas in support of my upcoming trip to Asia. You wrote, and I quote, "Doctor, thank you for your videos. I watch every single one when they drop. Your wealth of knowledge is appreciated by the community. Best of luck and safe travels." End of quote. Thank you so much, uh, Mac Contractors. Really appreciate you for that. Next person is Pauline. Pauline bought me cups of teas in support of my upcoming trip. She wrote, and I quote, "Thank you for these high-level educational sessions," end of quote. Thank you so much, Pauline, truly appreciate you. And to all you, to all of you, the community members, I'm very, very grateful to you. Thank you for keeping the conversation civil here. We learn from each other, and I read the comments, all of them, believe it or not. This might surprise you, but I do read all of them. So I truly, truly, from the bottom of my heart, I say thank you to you, because without you there will be no channel. So I look forward to seeing you next time. So also, I'm gonna be working on the next story for you, either for tomorrow or Friday. Have not decided yet because I'm waiting for a confirmation of certain information. Hope you enjoyed this, and I look forward to seeing you next time. As always, remember, geopolitics impact your daily life in more ways than one. Till next time, bye-bye.
