Saudi and Arab allies bomb Houthi positions in Yemen

Saudi Arabia and a coalition of regional allies have launched a military operation in Yemen against the Houthi rebels, who deposed the US-backed Yemeni president last month.

Adel al-Jubair, Saudi ambassador to the US, said on Wednesday that a coalition consisting of 10 countries, including the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), had begun airstrikes at 7pm Eastern time.

The operation is to defend and support the legitimate government of Yemen

"The operation is to defend and support the legitimate government of Yemen and prevent the radical Houthi movement from taking over the country," Jubair told reporters in Washington.

The airstrikes have targeted the presidential palace and the police and special forces headquarters in the capital, Sanaa, an Al Jazeera correspondent said.

The Houthis confirmed in a statement to reporters that Saudi jets hit a military base in Sanaa, known as al-Duleimi. They said they fired anti-aircraft missiles in response.

Hakim Al Masmari, Yemen Post editor, said that "people are very terrified".

"It's [bombing] not in any particular location in Sanaa, it's throughout the capital," he said.

Separately, a statement issued in Riyadh in the name of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates - the GCC countries without Yemen's neighbour Oman - said they had been asked for help by President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi's embattled government.

In a statement from the state news agency Egypt, too, announced political and military support. "There is coordination ongoing now with Saudi Arabia and the brotherly gulf countries about preparations to participate with an Egyptian air and naval forces and ground troops if necessary," the statement said.

Al-Jubair said that for the moment the action was confined to airstrikes on various targets around Yemen, but that other military assets were being mobilised and that the coalition "would do whatever it takes".

Proxy war

The ambassador said he would not go into detail about the support being provided by Saudi Arabia's allies, but added "we consulted very closely with many of our allies and in particular with the United States".

The Saudi ambassador said that the Houthis controlled ballistic and heavy weaponry, and could take control of the country's air force.

Yemen has been gripped by growing turmoil since Shia Houthi rebels launched a power takeover in the Yemeni capital last month.

Yemen conflict: Cry for help?
Houthis have advanced to the southern port city of Aden, where Hadi was based after fleeing from house arrest in Sanaa.

They control much of the north, including Sanaa, and several southern provinces. In recent days, they took the third-largest city, Taiz, as well as much of the province of Lahij, both just to the north of Aden.

In fighting in Lahij, they captured Hadi's defense minister, Major General Mahmoud al-Subaihi, and then swept into the nearby al-Annad base, which the US military had left.

The strife has raised fears Yemen could be torn apart by a proxy war between Shia Iran, accused of backing the rebels - and Sunni-ruled Saudi Arabia, which supports Hadi.

Yemen's acting foreign minister Riyadh Yaseen warned on Wednesday that the fall of Aden would mean the "start of civil war" as he drummed up Arab military support for Hadi, who was taken to a safe haven "within Aden" as the rebels closed in.


Yemen has descended into chaos since the ousting of former President Ali Abdullah Saleh in 2012, with security having collapsed since the Houthis swept unopposed into the capital last year.The Houthis, who belong to the Zaydi sect of Shia Islam, descended from their heartland in Saada last year, fighting their way towards Sanaa and defeating tribal and military rivals along the way.The group now controls 12 of the country's 21 governorates.

I hope Saudi Arabia, Iran and Turkey burn to the ground. They've been ruining other countries for decades, its time Ankara, Yeddah, Istanbul, Mecca, Tehran, and all their other big cities suffer same fate as Aleppo, Damascus, etc.

Filthy war mongers...

It will happen, it's only a matter of time.

It isn't Shia vs Sunni, but Saudis vs everyone else. Face it the Saudis are the biggest exporters of terrorism in the MENA. The middle-east situation is FUBAR.

It is. It will take decades, if not centuries, for the Middle-East to stabilize.

Mid-East will look whole lot different in 1-3 decades. Kurdish state will be one of the new ''features'' of this ancient, important and troubled region.

Sunnis within Saudi Arabia aren't supportive of their government. Most of the religious clergy do not like the Saudi family. Saying this conflict is about sects, means there are secterian differences bewteen the two groups. There really isn't, most of it is hyped up. It is Saudi backed up by the USA vs Iran backed up by Russia. Saudi used Daash as a proxy and buffer against Iran and to influence Iraq. Obviously now it backfired with Daash going madder than they thought. With Iran it is to reduce Saudi power as much as possible. Turkey just doing it to supress us Kurds. Sects don't mean shizz, all about power.

The middle-east won't stabilize as long as external powers ramp up and encourage the violence. The entirety of the middle-east being violent or having conflict, always was at the hands of western hands; directly or indirectly.

It's basically a continuation of the cold war between Iran v Saudis (shia v Sunni) for regional control which has been going on for decades if not longer. Poor Yemen is one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world. It's hard not to feel sorry for the average yemeni citizen.

I hope the average Arabs/Muslims/Salafis will wake up and understand they are doing nothing more than being played with by Saudis and all these Daesh/Mullahs and Islamization is for the sake of power and nothing more.

I remember my dad always telling us if you want to get rich, become a mullah. It's the most profitable business.

I'm not taking sides, just calling it how I see it. Secterianism implies the likes of Khameni or Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud are doing this because of events that took place 1400 years ago, I doubt it. They are just politicans with similar intentions of maintaining their power.

Oh and by the way I'm not saying Kurds should get involved. If that is what you were thinking. haha For us Kurds, it is best we stay out of this Iran vs Saudi Arabia conflict.

Remember, Iran will however never directly intervene against Saudi Arabia. Any incursions in Saudi Arabia will be met by direct US military involvement.

Iran has made a big mistake strategically. This event and war will strengthen Benjamin Natanyus rhetorical claim against Iran. It will hurt Iran in its nuclear deal negotiations. Good news for the republicans as Obama and his administration that last week were really soft with Iran wishing their leaders a happy Newroz will lose even more credibility.

This event might lead to a turn in US policies in ME which could affect us as well. All we can say for sure is that the U.S. congress is losing even more faith in Obama, which is only good for us.

Incorrect. Sunnis are the majority they make up about 55%. US sets sights on toppling the iranian regime. At the moment, wars in syria and iraq are sucking iran into ever more chaotic conflicts. Iran for its part, will not sacrifice its Houthi chip so easily. They would suck the saudis deeper into a costly yemeni quagmire as stated by telegraph.

I would love to see muslims, Sunni and Shia killed each other.
