Oil of Saudi Arabia under the fire of the Houthis .. A flaming summer in the Gulf

Amine strand

The years-long war between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis has entered a new juncture after the Houthis dispatched a squadron of their marching planes, which failed to detect its targets and hit sensitive oil installations.

The Ansar al-Houthi group has not been delayed; it has expressed skepticism and has quickly claimed responsibility for the attack on Saudi oil facilities in a new challenge to hundreds of missiles that have rained down multiple areas in Saudi Arabia in response to the Saudi and UAE aggression against the Yemeni people.

The attack came just two days after another attack on oil tankers near the port of Fujairah, is not yet clear the responsible, and the media of Saudi Arabia and the UAE finger on him to Iran and a US official spoke of a similar accusation and another accusation of Iran's proxies in the region, Houthis.

But what combines the two attacks, which come in a tense context and in an unprecedented shipment and mobilization in the Gulf, is that they targeted Saudi Arabia and the UAE as installations or tankers, and that they were geographically far from the Strait of Hormuz, which is rife around Iran and from time to time sends threats that it can threaten The oil of the whole world, and the closure of the narrow artery of Hormuz in front of oil tankers and the movement of global navigation.

What is behind the attacks?
The letters were read in several Arab capitals, in Riyadh and in Abu Dhabi, and most probably in several Western capitals, especially the United States.

In Yemen and at the al-Houthi group, the echo began to be read after the strike, which sparked panic in the Persian Gulf, leaving open questions about the next steps under the Huthis' assertion that it was just the beginning of yet another war in more than four years.

In the first attack two days ago on the ships of Fujairah hidden actor behind the deep waters of the Gulf, but his messages appeared clear and written lines and ancient colors, and in the second attack began the actor and the message is clear in Raad Al-Duha without ambiguity and ambivalence.

In spite of the difference between the two attacks - particularly on the actor's point of view - the most important messages - assuming Iran's connection to the second, which is denied so far:

- The war is comprehensive: The first and most clear messages confirm that there is no room for calm in the Gulf region if the war between Iran and the United States of America, and that the flame will pollute all capitals and Iran will not be affected only, especially since the Houthi group has become part of the buttons controlled by Iran according to What its opponents think.

- The war on the safe lines: What combines Fujairah ships and the line "East-West" in Saudi Arabia is that the oil that passes through them does not pass on the Strait of Hormuz; Fujairah is the only port overlooking the Gulf of Oman, the only port in the UAE, which can transport Gulf oil Without going through Iran's Strait of Hormuz.

The East-West pipeline also carries oil from the eastern region for export via ports on the Red Sea away from the Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, where tensions between the United States and Iran are rising.

The pipeline is about 1,200 km long and passes through at least five million barrels of oil per day from the eastern region, rich in crude, to the western region on the Red Sea coast. Saudi oil gives a new turban with no authority over Iran.

It is clear that the targeting of these two sites - assuming that the target is issued by one machete - gives an eloquent and clear message that there are no safe lines to transport the Gulf away from Hormuz; all these lines have become cross because of Huthi threats and their marching aircraft that may come with what the ships do not want Gulf ".

Farsi messages: The Huthis are keen to emphasize that the messages carried by their aircraft today are local messages loaded with the dimensions of the Yemeni conflict; but the fact that the most prominent and most importantly related to the new tension in the Gulf between Iran and Washington and its allies in the Gulf.

The letter is likely to arrive, and the Saudis will not need an interpreter to decipher it. In the case of the conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis, the Iranian fingers are clear on the lines of the written message, blasting the attack and the fire.

- Transition to a new stage: The Huthis that today's attacks represent a transition to a new phase of the conflict with Saudi Arabia, a stage will be economic war and hit the Saudi economic establishments the title of the most prominent.

Saudi and UAE carriers have been hit by airstrikes, but more affected are the economic strategies of the two countries, which add a new list of adversaries and crises every day.
