Aden, NewsYemen:
A Saudi writer said that Iran wants a political solution that recognizes the Houthis as rulers of Yemen, or at least its north, and gives them the international legitimacy that was the last of his berry papers on Abdullah Saleh.
In an article published in Okaz newspaper entitled (Who wants a political solution in Yemen?), The Saudi writer, Abdul Rahman Al-Tariri, suggested that the starting point for this ambition would be the Biden administration’s decision to remove the Houthis from the terrorism blacklist, which was what the militia responded to with marches, missiles and welcome.
Al-Tariri said that the Houthis did not find the Trump administration, which was late in placing them on the terrorist list, any seriousness in pressuring them, even in the case of a whistle-blower or naval mines, and the administration at the time did not take any deterrent steps to target the militia against oil tankers, and perhaps Trump's battle was bigger. In the geography of Iraq.
The writer considered that the intensification of targeting Saudi Arabia and placing a great weight in the battle for Marib is also a military escalation to achieve political gains that outweigh the real representation of the Houthis as a minority, adding: “Marib is important at the level of oil and gas, and it is also adjacent to the Kingdom, and is hosting more than two million displaced people from other regions to escape. From the Houthis, and the idea of the Houthis controlling Marib means a tension between the two parties. "
He pointed out that the Houthis tried to target the Yemeni government in Aden, hoping that the legitimacy and southern forces would not unite as stipulated in the Riyadh Agreement, because unifying the gun and defeating the Houthis west of Ma'rib, and returning to the lines of engagement east of the capital Sanaa, and in the west on the Hodeidah axis, is the guarantor of controlling the reality on The land, and perhaps achieving the ground for a Yemeni political solution.
The Saudi writer went on to say, "There is no non-Yemeni party, regional or international, that wants to continue fighting in Yemen. Saudi Arabia wants a stable, secure, and prosperous Yemen, ruled by the Yemenis, not Iranian agendas and foreign interests."
He stressed that "Saudi Arabia cannot look at what is happening in Yemen from the Houthi coup, arming them, and threatening its security, regardless of what happened in Bahrain 2011, or what happened in Egypt later through the Brotherhood’s projects."
