In a long report about the consequences of the recent American-British attacks on Yemen, this publication wrote that these attacks increase the power of Yemen, because it is a force in conflict with world powers and in America, England, “Israel” and several western countries have become their leaders.

The author further stated: “Sanaa has already proven its ability to be stable when it stood up to the military coalition led by Saudi Arabia that attacked Yemen since March 2015. At that time, the Saudi authorities thought that they could end the war within 6 weeks, but after 9 years, they are still trying to get out of the Yemen swamp.

According to This note, during this period, the Saudis “fought more from above” but in the end it became clear that “air attacks are ineffective in weakening Yemen.

According to Fabian Heinz, a defense and military researcher In the “International Institute for Strategic Studies” think tank, the Yemeni armed forces have been equipped with various stockpiles of anti-ship missiles with long ranges of up to 800 km over the past decade and currently have 6 different types of these missiles in their arsenal.

According to the Economist, Western warnings and information disclosures in the media gave the Yemenis weeks to move and hide their weapons, many of which are relatively small and portable, and it is currently unclear how much of this arsenal He survived the bombing. If this arsenal remains largely intact, the Yemenis could even expand the scope of their attacks, and “in the long run, Sana’a will be able to recoup the damage” and be equipped with new anti-ship missiles that can be easily assembled. .

Among other consequences of the American coalition attacks against Sana’a, strengthening the position of the National Salvation Government Yemen is in the process of peace negotiations with Saudi Arabia. Maybe a few years ago, the Saudis supported the attacks of the West on Yemen, but today they are in a sensitive position and with the experience they have of the 9-year war with Yemen, fearing that Yemen will decide to target the Persian Gulf countries with missiles or drones, they are asking for calm. are.

The note concludes that Washington does not want to get into another protracted conflict in the Middle East, while Sana’a is not worried about that because its forces are more engaged in fighting the Saudi coalition and the The former president of Yemen has stood up. In addition, they are now “certainly pleased to have added Washington to their open operations”.
