[0:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fYLcbubWb09u/en/impact-of-the-yemen-war-on-saudi-oil-and-the-economy?t=22) This also proves what Brigadier General Ali said: Yemen has precision missiles, It was the first country to use anti-ship ballistic missiles, as the U.S. enemy admitted, and that was during the Red Sea operations to support our brothers and sisters in Gaza and stop the genocide. [0:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fYLcbubWb09u/en/impact-of-the-yemen-war-on-saudi-oil-and-the-economy?t=40) So imagine Saudi Arabia now, when it can't export any oil. [0:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fYLcbubWb09u/en/impact-of-the-yemen-war-on-saudi-oil-and-the-economy?t=44) There are—there were reports, I mean, a few weeks ago or over a month ago, that Saudi Arabia had started talks with the World Bank or some external financial institutions for a loan exceeding eight billion dollars, And this proves they have entered a period of great weakness. [0:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fYLcbubWb09u/en/impact-of-the-yemen-war-on-saudi-oil-and-the-economy?t=59) It also means, as for investors, who I now think will no longer— make any new investments in Saudi Arabia. [1:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fYLcbubWb09u/en/impact-of-the-yemen-war-on-saudi-oil-and-the-economy?t=67) And also, Aramco's absence now—this also poses a major threat to Aramco and threatens its reputation, the backbone of the Saudi economy. [1:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fYLcbubWb09u/en/impact-of-the-yemen-war-on-saudi-oil-and-the-economy?t=75) So the continuation of operations on a large scale and at frequent intervals— and continuously against these oil facilities will ultimately lead to— if Saudi Arabia does not stop its war, lift the blockade on Yemen, and fully withdraw from Yemen, [1:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fYLcbubWb09u/en/impact-of-the-yemen-war-on-saudi-oil-and-the-economy?t=91) pay full compensation, and refrain from interfering in Yemen's affairs, then Saudi Arabia will certainly be the one to lose. [1:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fYLcbubWb09u/en/impact-of-the-yemen-war-on-saudi-oil-and-the-economy?t=96) In other words, any agreement with Yemen is in fact a winning deal for Saudi Arabia— and if it does not do that, I think Yemen may escalate its operations and advance to new stages. [1:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fYLcbubWb09u/en/impact-of-the-yemen-war-on-saudi-oil-and-the-economy?t=108) We can see that the operations are now focused on several areas in Saudi Arabia, with targets including, for example, an oil field, an oil tank, an airport that it can produce at some point. [2:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fYLcbubWb09u/en/impact-of-the-yemen-war-on-saudi-oil-and-the-economy?t=121) Its aim now is to stop Saudi Arabia from, uh, exporting its oil, but a stage may come when the goal is the complete destruction of Saudi oil. [2:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fYLcbubWb09u/en/impact-of-the-yemen-war-on-saudi-oil-and-the-economy?t=128) Instead of launching dozens of missiles and drones at various areas deep inside Saudi Arabia, or, or at the Saudi-Yemeni border, where Aramco companies are, and some military sites, Yemen could focus all those missiles on a single oil facility and completely destroy it. [2:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fYLcbubWb09u/en/impact-of-the-yemen-war-on-saudi-oil-and-the-economy?t=147) In other words, it would be a stage of destruction, not just pressure, or stopping Saudi Arabia from, from continuing to export its oil. [2:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fYLcbubWb09u/en/impact-of-the-yemen-war-on-saudi-oil-and-the-economy?t=155) But, my dear sister Saudi Arabia, I mean, I think she, I mean... there's a great deal of stupidity in Saudi Arabia. [2:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fYLcbubWb09u/en/impact-of-the-yemen-war-on-saudi-oil-and-the-economy?t=162) It can't protect Aramco companies or protect its airports. [2:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fYLcbubWb09u/en/impact-of-the-yemen-war-on-saudi-oil-and-the-economy?t=167) In fact, I think I can say that it uses civilians as human shields. [2:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fYLcbubWb09u/en/impact-of-the-yemen-war-on-saudi-oil-and-the-economy?t=172) Otherwise, I mean, why doesn't it close its airports if it can't protect those civilians? [2:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fYLcbubWb09u/en/impact-of-the-yemen-war-on-saudi-oil-and-the-economy?t=178) So the continuation of these operations will certainly have... [3:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fYLcbubWb09u/en/impact-of-the-yemen-war-on-saudi-oil-and-the-economy?t=180) At some point, this leads to the collapse of Saudi oil. [3:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fYLcbubWb09u/en/impact-of-the-yemen-war-on-saudi-oil-and-the-economy?t=183) We also noticed, regarding the financial situation in Saudi Arabia, that October, for example, was one of the most important months in Saudi Arabia when it hosted and held economic conferences and AI conferences, and conferences for partners, [3:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fYLcbubWb09u/en/impact-of-the-yemen-war-on-saudi-oil-and-the-economy?t=197) and all kinds of conferences that brought Saudi Arabia tens of billions. [3:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fYLcbubWb09u/en/impact-of-the-yemen-war-on-saudi-oil-and-the-economy?t=203) All of that has now ended. Even the Asian Championship, more or less, has, I mean, been changed. [3:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/fYLcbubWb09u/en/impact-of-the-yemen-war-on-saudi-oil-and-the-economy?t=208) I think if Saudi Arabia continues its aggression against Yemen, then Yemen, when it destroys that oil, then when the World Cup comes to Saudi Arabia in 2034, I think Saudi Arabia won't, won't, I mean, won't— by then, have even a third of it.
