A Billion Dollars To Stop Houthi Attacks? Saudi, Pak, Turkey Turn To Tehran Amid Houthi Bloodbath
Saudi Arabia has American missiles, a military and a defence pact with Pakistan and Turkey. Yet it is reportedly offering $1 billion to the Houthis, through Iran, to stop the attacks. The optics are humiliating for a monarchy with $83 billion in weaponry. According to Israel Hayom, Defence Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman flew to Tehran negotiating a ceasefire, though a Saudi official did not confirm any cash changed hands. The Houthis have targeted Saudi airports, oil facilities and trade routes since September, and an October 10 strike on King Khalid International Airport killed 12 civilians. Riyadh reportedly telephoned Trump twice, but received no help. Allies from the Mecca Pact never materialised. Irans security chief Mohsen Rezaei says regional security must come from regional countries, not foreign powers. Is this Tehrans biggest propaganda victory yet? Watch the complete breakdown to see how failed military responses are pushing Washingtons allies toward Irans door.
