Yemen goes for the (Saudi) jugular

The House of Saud has received a stunning warning from Ansarallah and the Yemeni Armed Forces: if you continue to attack us, you will lose your oil infrastructure and your whole economy.

That’s not a threat. That’s a fact.

Cue the Ultimate Saudi Decider MbS and his coterie of advisers insisting on attacking a Yemeni Oil Company depot in Sana’a. It had already been announced that the facility was empty. Still, the Saudis needed a photo op – flames included.

As a result, Saudi oil infrastructure was set to burn. Ballistic missiles and drones from the Yemeni Armed Forces targeted the Aramco headquarters in Dammam; the Aramco refinery in Riyadh; and the Aramco refinery in Rabigh.

Oil export revenues account for over 60% of Saudi fiscal income. The military budget, the royal family’s absurd spending sprees, vanity projects such as NEOM, all that depends on oil exports.

ARAMCO in real terms is the most valuable company on the planet, pumping and commercializing the bulk of the black lifeblood running through the arteries of successive Vampire Balls.

Yet now we have those “terrorists in sandals” – the demonization brandished by the Epstein Syndicate – attacking the Vampire with a thousand little silver stakes, anointed with fresh garlic, possibly day after day. The result will inevitably be high-priced – and scarce – black blood for years, once the inevitable manipulations collapse.

The Axis of Resistance now de facto controls both of Saudi Arabia’s oil export routes: the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab al-Mandab.

In the Strait of Hormuz, the IRGC Navy is serially striking and setting ablaze an array of petro tankers, including a supertanker carrying 2 million barrels of Saudi crude.

It’s quite straightforward: anyone turning off navigation and identification systems will be treated as a hostile target and inexorably destroyed by the IRGC Navy.

In parallel, the Yemeni Armed Forces control the high ground on both sides of the Bab al-Mandab. Every attack by ersatz Saudi/mercenary forces on the Yemeni grip has failed.

If the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab al-Mandab are totally, simultaneously closed – that’s not yet the case – the House of Saud cannot export a single drop of oil. And yes, its whole economy will collapse.

Saudi airports have already been paralyzed: King Khalid in Riyadh, Najran, Jazan, Yanbu, Al-Jawf, Jeddah’s King Abdulaziz, Taif, Dammam. Ansarallah is implementing the finer points of “a blockade against a blockade”: the actual counterpunch to Saudi Arabia’s decade-long siege of Sana’a’s airport.

No wonder the Arab world is awash in jokes praising October as Yemeni Awareness Month in Riyadh.
