Houthi Attacks and Middle East Power Shifts

But tonight, my friends, we're going to go through the Middle East as we do. We haven't done it in about a month or so, and there's been a lot of movement as we all know with that. We're going to go through some of the things that we've been seeing with the Middle East and what I think is the primary, the primary attacks and the primary area to look at. And then we'll get into the US-Iran situation. We'll go into Turkey. We'll get into Lebanon. Of course, we're going to talk about the Saudi and Houthis, how that is going, so to speak, and how that all relates to you and me in America and also in the world. We'll also talk about the Gulf nations as well. So, without further ado, let's get into the map and let's see if we can understand what's going down here in the Middle East. We'll first start off with, I think the most important thing to start off with is where the action is right now.

The most of the action is not only in the Hormuz Strait, but really where the action is is in Saudi Arabia. I think most people are familiar with what's going on in Saudi Arabia. They are fighting the Houthi rebels, or people call them Ansar Allah, that is the other name that they go by. So, we'll begin here, my friends, to look at what's going down in Yemen and also with Saudi Arabia. They have been kind of fighting each other for about a decade now, to be honest with you, or even more than a decade, 10 to 12 years. There's a lot of bad blood between these two. With the Houthis in Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia has been taking advantage of the Yemen people for a very long time, okay? For a very long time. So now, that's why the Houthi rebels have risen up to go against Saudi Arabia and to fight for what they believe is their people in Yemen. The last time that we spoke before, I believe Yemen or the Houthis went on the attack after the last time we did the Middle East updates, and I'd like to show you guys where they have conquered since that time.

And this was a very quick victory for the Houthi rebels as well. So, you see where Sana is right here? That's where the main headquarters, if you will, if you want to call it that, the capital or whatever, of the Houthi rebels or Ansar Allah. So, they basically have this territory right here. If you can see my arrow, from Sana over to the western coast, they did not have this area right here that I'm pointing to in my arrow. They did not have this under their control until very recently. And I mean, they took control of these areas in like two weeks. So, it was kind of like Syria taking over, I'm sorry, kind of like Turkey taking over Syria in about 11 days. That's about the same thing of what the Houthis did. And now they have a choke point right here with the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, right here. I call it the Houthi Strait because no one can seem to beat the Houthi rebels, from what I can see.

So, now they have really the strategic point of this coastline. If you've ever heard of Mocha coffee, Mocha is right here. So, that's where mocha coffee is that you see everywhere in the United States. That's where it is now. And guess who's control over the land area is the Houthis right now. So, again, they have made tremendous advances against the Saudis. And as you all know, they've been bombing Saudis. So, I wanted to show you guys this right here, the area that they have obtained very recently. And they have the coastline here, which is very important for what they're trying to do with Iran from their perspective. They're trying to choke off Saudi Arabia's oil because if you look at the map here, the overall map, you have Iran in control of the Hormuz Strait and they've got a blockade, and then America has a blockade on top of that as well. There are ships moving out of there, but they're paying Iran about $2 to $3 million dollars a piece to go in and out of the strait.

So, you can do your own research on that. But as you can see here, going back to here, they choked this off. And now the Houthis are choking this off. Why is that important? Is because all of the oil that comes out of that area. And then you have the Suez Canal that people could go through as well, but that would bring Egypt involved in this. And it's going to be interesting to see what El-Sisi, the leader, does in Egypt because of the choke points right here with the Houthis and also with Iran and also America as well. So, that's why you're seeing diesel prices and gas prices explode. And again, once we get through this conversation, you'll really understand why they're going to go even higher as we look at these things. So, when we look at Yemen, or the Houthis, or Ansar Allah is what they're called as well. When you look at what they've done to Saudi Arabia, it's really, again, I kid about it all the time, but it's really serious of what they've done.

People have really miscalculated how dangerous these folks are. And what do I mean by that? Is when you look at, when you look at the Taliban, you know, you look at Hezbollah, you look at Hamas, the Houthis are stronger than all of those. The Houthis are stronger than the Taliban. They have more capabilities. They have more capabilities than Hezbollah, even though Hezbollah is better than Hamas and also maybe even the Taliban, that might be a kind of a tie. But the Houthis have more for them, have more capabilities than all of those terrorist groups, all of the proxy groups of Iran. The Taliban is not a proxy group of Iran. The Hezbollah is, and Hamas is. But the Houthis are the ones with the most capabilities. Remember when they were firing missiles at Israel? They hit Eilat, you know, down in southern Israel and killed 22 people. So, they had the capabilities to really do a lot of damage.

I know a lot of people try to make fun of the Houthis because of their name, the Houthi rebels and all this, but again, no one can beat them. 10 years, 12 years, Obama and Saudi tried to beat them. They could not do it. The UAE tried to do it. They could not do it either. Biden tried to do it. He couldn't do it. Trump tried to do it. He can't do it either. So, again, no one can. It's pretty embarrassing when you think about it that America or anyone else cannot get the Houthi rebels under control. So, that tells me a lot that our side is not doing too well. And what do I mean by our side? Our side is who we're allied with: Israel, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt. And those nations are getting rocked and rolled. Israel's not. But during the war, they were. But since that time, Saudi Arabia has been rocked and rolled by the Houthis. And we've got to understand that the Gulf nations are being just totally decimated by Iran.

I'm going to show you that or explain that to you, and then you can do your research as well. So, again, my friends, when you look at this battle of what's going on, and if I can say our side against their side, so to speak, I believe the Shia are winning this right now. And that's why you're going to see the Sunni nations step up according to biblical prophecy to rock Iran. And that will be the nation of Turkey. And we'll get into Turkey as well. But my friends, make no mistake. The Houthi rebels or Ansar Allah is something to deal with. And people who don't think they are something to deal with need to go look at what they've done to Saudi Arabia. And what happened? MBS, Muhammad bin Salman, the leader of Saudi Arabia, had called President Trump twice in one day. And Trump said, "We will not help you." Now, now the reports are coming that they might get involved because why? Is because go look at all the damage in Saudi Arabia.

Go look at all these international airports that have been bombed. So, let me just go through this really quick with you. What has been bombed, and I'm going to try to show you on the map some of these places. I don't know where they are because Arabic is sometimes tough to identify with, but I'll try to do my best and show you what the Houthi rebels have done to Saudi Arabia in these last couple weeks. So, the capital Riyadh, this is the King Khalid International Airport. It's been hit repeatedly. Strikes of October 6th through the 11th, including a major October 10th attack that killed 13 people and injured more than 300 people. I think you can go online to see the explosion that happened when they fired the missile at the airport in the capital city. Then also in Dammam, let me get to that as well, right here. In Dammam, the Houthi, the King Fahd International Airport. Again, there's the second airport.

Projectiles struck the airport area October 10th and 11th, causing damage and disrupting flights. And then we have the Abha International Airport. And let me see where that one is. I'm not actually sure where Abha is. So, please excuse me. But Abha International Airport as well got rocked and rolled by the Houthis and attacked on October 6th and 7th, and two people were killed and 28 were injured. And then we have the Jizan, which is where the King Abdullah airport is, and they were attacked during the early October escalation. Injuries and property damage were reported. And again, I'm not exactly sure where Jizan is, so please excuse me. And then you have the other international airport, Najran, and it was attacked during the same escalation. Damage and injuries were reported. So, my friends, you're looking at five international airports that were hit by the Houthi rebels. So, again, you guys tell me.

I mean, Saudi Arabia, it's amazing. You would think that Saudi Arabia could handle the Houthis, and they just cannot. They just cannot. They don't have the power to do it. They don't have the capabilities to do it, even with the United States of America. Please understand that. Why is the United States possibly going to get involved in this again? Because of the oil refineries that have been hit in Saudi Arabia. I mean, let's look at the oil refineries that have been hit. And again, I'm going to just speak about them in Riyadh. Let me get to my map so I can show you guys. So, in Riyadh, which is the capital, this is the Saudi Aramco refinery. The Houthis claim to have targeted the refinery with missiles and drones. Okay, why is that important? Well, remember Aramco is America and Saudi Arabia together. So, again, the goal of Iran and their proxies is to move America out of the Middle East.

That's what they're trying to do. They're trying to move America out of the Middle East. And so far, they're doing a pretty good job of that. And I'm going to show you the air bases that they've destroyed and all of these things. So, what they're trying to do is they're trying to attack America's allies where it hurts us the most in economics. You know, they're very smart people, the Persians are. So, they're going at it on a systematic point of politics, but also finances, economic pressure, and all of these things with the diesel, the gas, the oil, and all of these things. So, you're seeing the oil refineries, Saudi Aramco oil refineries, being hit in Riyadh. And then also you have Dhahran. Okay, that is the Saudi Aramco headquarters. Okay, that has been struck on October 13th and October 14th, a couple of days ago. Again, that's the Saudi Aramco headquarters, which goes directly, of course, with America as well.

We have in Riyadh, I showed you guys that. And then we had another Aramco oil refinery that was hit by a missile and drone attack that caused the fire in Jubail. And again, please excuse me for not knowing exactly where that is. And then we have again in Dammam, over here on the coast, we have the Aramco facilities again. So, what are the Houthis trying to do? Well, they're trying to run the Americans out of the Middle East. They're trying to ruin Saudi Arabia, is what they're doing. And they're doing a pretty good job of that. And that's why you'll see oil prices, gas prices, everything go higher and higher and higher, is because you have five international airports that have been rocked by the Houthi rebels, and then you have four refineries that are hit as well. And now the one that I wanted to mention to the world the most is the Khurais refinery. You can look this up. The Khurais refinery.

Let me show you the area that it is in. The Khurais refinery, I believe we have it right in this area right here. I believe it's either there or right in here. So, again, why is that important? It's the number one oil refinery in the world. Everybody, it is the one that the Houthis have hit. With the one in Khurais. So, we've got to realize what's going down here, my friends. And I say these things so that you and your family can understand what's going on. If you're not understanding these things, then how it's going to affect every price that you have in America is going to go up, because of the oil and the gas and the diesel, etc. The Houthis with the Red Sea, Iran and America with the blockade on the Persian Gulf, and now the global citizens are wondering what is going on with these countries over in the Middle East, including America. So, again, this is where we are, the citizens of the world.
