[0:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/APjyfWNpntlS/en/iran-yemen-and-the-saudi-defense-minister-s-visit-to-tehran?t=12) And this statement is nothing new for Iran. [0:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/APjyfWNpntlS/en/iran-yemen-and-the-saudi-defense-minister-s-visit-to-tehran?t=15) They have affirmed that the solution in Yemen is, I mean, peace among Yemenis, and that Saudi Arabia also stop interfering, in addition to the comprehensive implementation of the road map agreement. [0:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/APjyfWNpntlS/en/iran-yemen-and-the-saudi-defense-minister-s-visit-to-tehran?t=26) And I think, my dear sister, that also, for example, another reason for the Saudi defense minister's visit Khalid bin Salman to, to Tehran as they announced at the time, was to I mean, de-escalate tensions in the region. [0:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/APjyfWNpntlS/en/iran-yemen-and-the-saudi-defense-minister-s-visit-to-tehran?t=40) I think those responsible for threatening the entire region's security are America and the Zionist entity, meaning Saudi Arabia has no say in that, except that it is the oil funder and financial backer of any operations whether against Iran or Yemen. [0:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/APjyfWNpntlS/en/iran-yemen-and-the-saudi-defense-minister-s-visit-to-tehran?t=55) But I think the basis for that visit was the Yemen file, because I believe Saudi Arabia is trying to mediate with Iran So there would be at least a truce in Yemen for a month or two, because I think the United States is planning this month, or… or even before the end of this year [1:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/APjyfWNpntlS/en/iran-yemen-and-the-saudi-defense-minister-s-visit-to-tehran?t=74) to launch major operations with the Zionist entity against Iran, but they can't have a war with Iran while the Strait of Hormuz is closed and the Red Sea strait is also closed, meaning they want there to be a breathing space for the global economy via the Red Sea, [1:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/APjyfWNpntlS/en/iran-yemen-and-the-saudi-defense-minister-s-visit-to-tehran?t=90) and that would mean having some kind of truce agreement between Yemen and Saudi Arabia, and that is the goal. [1:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/APjyfWNpntlS/en/iran-yemen-and-the-saudi-defense-minister-s-visit-to-tehran?t=95) The purpose of Khalid bin Salman's visit I think it was at America's behest, in order to secure a truce between Yemen and Saudi Arabia to secure the Red Sea for oil products, especially since the world is now entering winter and needs several times more oil and gas than it did during the summer. [1:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/APjyfWNpntlS/en/iran-yemen-and-the-saudi-defense-minister-s-visit-to-tehran?t=114) Iran has been clear, time and again, that it does not make the decisions in Yemen. [2:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/APjyfWNpntlS/en/iran-yemen-and-the-saudi-defense-minister-s-visit-to-tehran?t=120) And Mr. Abdul-Malik, the leader of the Ansar Allah movement He has repeatedly confirmed that Yemen is the one that makes the decisions, and that Iran does not dictate any decisions to us about anything related to Yemeni sovereignty or the situation inside Yemen. [2:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/APjyfWNpntlS/en/iran-yemen-and-the-saudi-defense-minister-s-visit-to-tehran?t=135) And I just want to emphasize one point, what Brigadier General said: these attacks Saudi Arabia is carrying out against civilians only prove Saudi Arabia's failure to locate the places where the Yemeni missiles, drones, or storage depots are, [2:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/APjyfWNpntlS/en/iran-yemen-and-the-saudi-defense-minister-s-visit-to-tehran?t=151) so they resort to targeting civilians. But the strange thing, my dear sister, is that Saudi Arabia, when there was a statement a few weeks ago from the so-called Yemeni Ministry of Defense, saying they would target Yemeni tribes during those, I mean, mountain gatherings held in many parts of Yemen, [2:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/APjyfWNpntlS/en/iran-yemen-and-the-saudi-defense-minister-s-visit-to-tehran?t=167) announced that they would target them, and Saudi Arabia immediately afterward denied it, saying Yemeni tribes could not be targeted because Yemeni tribes are the Arab world's backbone. [2:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/APjyfWNpntlS/en/iran-yemen-and-the-saudi-defense-minister-s-visit-to-tehran?t=178) Yet despite all that, now what have they done in Al-Wazi'iyah and Bani Hushaysh? [3:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/APjyfWNpntlS/en/iran-yemen-and-the-saudi-defense-minister-s-visit-to-tehran?t=183) They targeted the women and children of those tribes. [3:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/APjyfWNpntlS/en/iran-yemen-and-the-saudi-defense-minister-s-visit-to-tehran?t=186) This means that the Yemeni tribes, and, as there is also information, in the Bani Hashish tribes, there was a large tribal gathering, and there was an announcement of a general mobilization and a call to rally, as well as a declaration of loyalty, listening and obedience to our leadership, represented [3:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/APjyfWNpntlS/en/iran-yemen-and-the-saudi-defense-minister-s-visit-to-tehran?t=203) by Sayyid Abdul-Malik bin Badr al-Din al-Houthi, meaning that, indeed, as the brigadier said, these attacks negatively affect the Saudi regime and lead many Yemenis to join the battlefront to defend their land and honor.
