Riyadh Tells Hizbullah to Mind its Own Business over Yemen Row

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

The Saudi Ambassador to Beirut, Ali Awadh Asiri, has urged Hizbullah without naming it to deal with its own issues rather than meddle in Riyadh's affairs.

The parties that “shove” themselves into the Saudi-led coalition's move against Huthi rebels in Yemen and which “have the audacity” to criticize Saudi Arabia “should deal with their own affairs,” Asiri said in remarks published on Thursday.

He hinted that Lebanon has no interest in being pushed in a battle that has no ties to it.

The diplomat warned in reference to Iran that Lebanon was being used as a mail box to serve regional sides whose sole interest is to tamper with the security and stability of the region.

Asiri told the Saudi Okaz daily that Riyadh only deals with the Lebanese government headed by Prime Minister Tammam Salam and its state institutions, which are keen on the best of ties between the two countries.

On Monday, Hizbullah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah declared that Saudi Arabia will be defeated in the Yemeni conflict.

“Saudi Arabia will suffer a major defeat that will have an impact on its domestic situation and the entire region,” he told Syria's al-Ikhbariya in an interview that was broadcast by Tele Liban.

Saudi Arabia began its airstrikes in Yemen on March 25, announcing that it had put together a coalition of more than 10 countries, including five Gulf monarchies, for the military operation to defend Yemeni President Abedrabbo Mansur Hadi's government against the Shiite Huthi rebels.

The military move against the rebels triggered fury from Saudi Arabia's rival Iran, Hizbullah's main regional ally, with officials in Tehran warning that the military action threatened to spill over into other countries.

In his remarks to Okaz, Asiri confirmed that Information Minister Ramzi Jreij telephoned him to apologize for TL's airing of the interview from al-Ikhbariya, which is backed by Syria's Assad regime.

The minister promised him to hold the employees behind the airing accountable, said Asiri.

Saudi Arabia cannot allow another Iranian client regime in an Arab country. It is time that it should shoulder its responsibilities and make it clear to Iran that its schemes in the Arab world will backfire. As for Nasrallah, he should simply remain silent. He caused so much misery to the Lebanese people and we do not need him to cause more.

Mowaten - You have no problem with Iran and the Hizb fighting in Syria to assist a regime soaked in the blood of the Syrian people. However, you are outraged when an Arab coalition responds to a request of help from the legitimate leader of Yemen. We know where your loyalties and that of the Hizb lay. I used to frown when Baathists used to refer to the Hizb and other Iranian collaborators as Safawis. They were right! Your loyalties are with Iran.

As for KSA, its policies has been atrocious and incompetent and brought total disaster upon the Arab world. This does not mean they are not correct in this situation. They are. What I do not trust is whether they have a rational plan for the future of Yemen. Iran plan is simple: empower their sectarian client militias and have these hold Arab countries as hostage as in Lebanon and Iraq (and yes - Syria).

Missing ArabDemocrat.com 09 April 2015, 09:09

Both the KSA and Iran worked hard to destroy the Arab people dream of freedom. We should never trust either. In the case of Yemen, it was the Houthis who are the aggressors and who denied the Yemeni people a chance at freedom and perhaps a chance for positive change.

Let me make it clear, the average Iranian does not respect or like Arabs. They tread Arabs inside Iran with savagery and deprive them of many of their rights. They are the poorest if the poor while more than 90% of Iranian oil is extracted from their region.

The iranian sectarian lebanese huthis are crying over the freedom of speech. A few days ago, Al Jadeed TV (a mouthpiece of the axis of resistance and terrorism) referred to nassrallah's speech as "nervous" and what happened. Nassrallah's son tweeted, threatened, and described the station as a hired gun and threatened the editor in chief.

Well i'm against houthies action in yemen in the same way i'm against hezbos military takeover in lebanon (because it is exactly that aka 7ayyar, black shirts to remind us of 7ayyar...)
But as a supporter of free speach i donnot agree with assiri, anyone should be able to speak out what he think and try to convince others.
What i find weird is that 8march hezbos friend are now with freedome of expression (after burning future tv, after forbidding syrian opposition to make speaches few years ago, after burning tires in front of new tv, after suspected role in assassinations of journalist ; samir kassir, jenran tueini...) but if those guys became free speach supporters that's a good thing and we must encourage it..
And one last thing hezbose were involved in yemen, when houthies took over sanaa multiple hezbos got free from jail and this went out on news so they were there, would it be impossible that they are there now? After syria irak...

The Middle East has now truly become the War by proxy. Iran has meddled and has gotten the KSA and it Gulf allies responding by facing up to Iran. Years ago the Jordanian King warned of a Shiite Crescent being formed around the Sunnis, now the conflict has become an open one in which Iran is throwing all its dices onto the table and the KSA doing the same. yesterday I saw a scene on TV, of a Yemeni boy that was shot in the legs and was being dragged by his friends, and it simply reminded me of so many such scenes where the war makers and their proxies don't lose much, but usually the people do, they loose everything, country, hone, livelihood, family, peace, everything. Syria was only a repetition of our war in Lebanon, the same in Libya, Iraq and now Yemen. If anyone is tempted to think that these wars will be short ones, then they are fooling themselves, it's all long haul.
