The latest developments in Yemen and the Strait of Hormuz as of the morning of November ninth. [0:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=8) Operations continue on the fronts in Lahij, Taiz, Marib, and Al-Jawf amid mutual strikes, as well as operations that had been confined toward the Strait of Hormuz. [0:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=20) So, what is happening? Follow the details to the end so you don't miss the sequence of events, And let's begin right away with what is happening on the Al- Mudharibah front in Lahij Governorate. [0:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=31) This is Lahij Governorate. This is Al- Mudharibah District, shown here for anyone watching the channel for the first time. [0:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=38) Along this pink line, across the area Here, toward Al-Affaj, southwest of Al-Marzāʿ, operations are concentrated in this area. [0:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=50) Government forces are trying to advance as far as possible to move again toward Al- Marzāʿ, which is controlled by the Houthis, while the Houthis, in turn, are trying to advance toward Al- Shatayn in this area starting from this direction, [1:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=65) and from the areas under their control here south of Al- Mudharibah, across this whole area. [1:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=72) As for the operations along the immigration line and Bir al-Tawassul, in this area as well, they are still attempts by both sides across the entire area to regain control of it and make further gains, as each side seeks to do. [1:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=88) Let me remind you of an important point. [1:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=90) As you can see, Houthi forces are 26.5 kilometers from the southern coast, starting from Bir al-Tawassul. [1:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=97) As for the directions of Jabal Kahbub, operations are still ongoing, with no change in the control map. [1:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=105) Things remain as they are in this area on the map, but operations here are seeing ongoing attempts by both sides. [1:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=115) Aircraft intervene constantly to put pressure on supply lines at rear positions in an attempt to prevent reinforcements from being sent to the Houthis at the front from areas in the rear toward the front lines. [2:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=129) In addition, the Houthis are trying to apply pressure with missile strikes on positions where government forces are deployed across this entire area, at rear positions or toward forward positions. [2:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=142) To ease the pressure on his forces. That is regarding Al-Mudharaba District. [2:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=147) Regarding Tur al-Baha and Al-Maqatirah districts, Let me explain Al-Maqatirah District again. [2:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=156) And in this direction is Tur al-Baha District. [2:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=159) Operations are still ongoing here and extend from the Al-Sawalha front in this area here, all the way to Mount Arif, and on to the area located here. [2:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=170) These attempts have not stopped and have turned here, to some extent, into a line of contact, similar to what is happening west of Taiz city. [2:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=179) If you remember, there were, for several days, some lines or fixed positions that held for a long time as a result of the reinforcements sent by both sides, and each side concentrating forces in that direction in an attempt to prevent the other side from advancing and making gains. [3:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=197) The same thing is happening here too. Air support is intervening in an attempt to back the forces on the ground and put pressure on the Houthis' rear lines. [3:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=207) As for the directions around Taiz, in the area shown here, specifically south of Taiz, we are talking about two points, The Akraoud apartment front line, and the Sarari axis line near Jabal Saber. [3:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=221) In these areas, attempts are still ongoing since yesterday, meaning for about twenty hours, operations have been ongoing along the Kahlan axis in this direction, and across the whole area here, the attempts aim for the Houthis to gain further ground and advance in this direction, [4:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=241) pushing government forces away from this specific area. [4:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=245) They want to retake control of Maihoob Thabet Hill and apply more pressure from different directions. [4:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=251) They are trying, one could say, apparently, to put pressure on the supply lines again. [4:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=256) Air power is also intervening here, having hit the surrounding area with a number of strikes, as well as distant points away from the front line that are considered to be, one could say, important Houthi positions. [4:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=270) In addition, this is inherently linked to what is happening along the entire Sarari axis. [4:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=275) This axis is in front of you here, along this entire direction, The Houthis are still trying to advance and connect the areas they control. as much as possible, but the control map has not changed in this direction. [4:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=290) Now we move on to the Marib and Al Jawf fronts. [4:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=294) Operations in that area are seeing, as I told you, it seems, attempts by both sides to regroup their forces and act, or change plans. No one knows, but the control map remains unchanged because when either side moves, the other tries to respond. [5:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=312) So in these two areas shown here, attempts are still ongoing. [5:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=318) At this point here, government forces are making attempts to move again from this direction toward open areas in an attempt to connect these areas under their control. [5:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=331) They are trying to take control of this area to increase pressure on Houthi forces and to try to put pressure on the supply lines of the Houthis in this area here. [5:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=344) So, we are watching to see how things unfold on the Al Jawf front, But on the Marib front, the operations, if you will, are of a different kind, and relatively evenly matched, with government forces trying to advance in the direction of Wadi al-Hallan around its outskirts and Wadi Mas, [6:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=362) while Houthi forces are focusing more on the Azdas direction, the center of Ragwan District. [6:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=369) As for the strikes taking place, there have also been scattered strikes on different areas under Houthi control. [6:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=377) As for the strikes toward Saudi Arabia, as I learned yesterday, there were strikes toward a number of sites near the Aramco company, uh, in the direction of Riyadh, in addition to that, there were interceptions of several missiles. [6:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=394) The coalition had also announced strikes toward Saada Governorate, saying they hit two platforms for, uh, Kongo that were attempting to target Riyadh, and a third platform toward Sanaa. [6:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=409) There were, I mean, attempts toward Riyadh in the morning, but neither side provided further details about this matter. [6:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=418) And in the Strait of Hormuz, there were reports of strikes against several tankers, But the total number so far is still unclear, and there were, um, various strikes. [7:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=431) Apparently, a number of these ships had been hit and there were also strikes that hit Iran specifically, in the direction of Qeshm Island, but no further details about this matter have emerged. [7:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=447) There was also an important statement. On Sunday evening, U.S. President Donald Trump said the likelihood of ordering new U.S. strikes on Iran would be extremely low if negotiations continued to make progress toward an agreement. [7:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=463) He explained that the U.S. position depends on reaching a strong agreement while Qatar continues its mediation efforts between Washington and Tehran. [7:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=473) The statement comes as everything is unfolding in the Strait of Hormuz or in the directions of, um, Yemen and Saudi Arabia. [8:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=480) So we have to wait and see how things turn out amid all these events. [8:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=487) That is why you noticed I put the developments in Yemen and the Strait of Hormuz in one video, because they're connected. [8:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=493) So, my dear viewers, that was everything, I'll let you know later if there's any news. [8:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/O7lx4UF9gvNl/en/yemen-and-hormuz-strait-updates-fighting-on-four-fronts-november-9?t=497) Thank you for your valuable time, and see you in another video.
