[0:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qLRpzdcO4EZC/en/debate-over-houthi-ties-to-iran-and-red-sea-escalation?t=3) I mean, I hope you'll surprise us with a different answer, an real answer, an answer that convinces viewers, because I know perfectly well that you will say we have no ties to Iran, that Iran won't use us, and that we won't intervene, and so on, despite all the evidence and the many statements we've followed over the past few years [0:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qLRpzdcO4EZC/en/debate-over-houthi-ties-to-iran-and-red-sea-escalation?t=22) and this year, about, I mean, Iran relying on the Houthis as a pressure card. [0:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qLRpzdcO4EZC/en/debate-over-houthi-ties-to-iran-and-red-sea-escalation?t=31) Go ahead. Honestly, my dear sister, I mean, what do you think? [0:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qLRpzdcO4EZC/en/debate-over-houthi-ties-to-iran-and-red-sea-escalation?t=35) Take the paper and write down the answer for me. I'll answer however I want. [0:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qLRpzdcO4EZC/en/debate-over-houthi-ties-to-iran-and-red-sea-escalation?t=38) Let's answer logically, Mr. Hussein. Let's answer logically. [0:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qLRpzdcO4EZC/en/debate-over-houthi-ties-to-iran-and-red-sea-escalation?t=41) Let's answer logically. I mean, something has become known to everyone, near and far. [0:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qLRpzdcO4EZC/en/debate-over-houthi-ties-to-iran-and-red-sea-escalation?t=45) Yes, yes, my dear sister. Perhaps tell us your justifications, the Houthis' justifications for this position. [0:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qLRpzdcO4EZC/en/debate-over-houthi-ties-to-iran-and-red-sea-escalation?t=51) Yes. Sister, my dear sister, the truth is, I'm here to convince the viewer. [0:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qLRpzdcO4EZC/en/debate-over-houthi-ties-to-iran-and-red-sea-escalation?t=56) And the viewer will know whether I'm being logical or not, I mean, I'm not interested, for example, in convincing you as just one viewer. [1:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qLRpzdcO4EZC/en/debate-over-houthi-ties-to-iran-and-red-sea-escalation?t=63) It wasn't me, Mr. Hussein. It wasn't me. I speak for the viewers when I ask. [1:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qLRpzdcO4EZC/en/debate-over-houthi-ties-to-iran-and-red-sea-escalation?t=70) I'll answer now. All right, when I ask, I ask on behalf of the viewers and followers who are trying to understand. [1:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qLRpzdcO4EZC/en/debate-over-houthi-ties-to-iran-and-red-sea-escalation?t=80) Yes, the viewers on the other side. I'll tell you, my dear sister, about Iran. Do you know that Iran needed Yemen during the aggression that lasted 12 days launched by the Zionist entity against Iran? [1:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qLRpzdcO4EZC/en/debate-over-houthi-ties-to-iran-and-red-sea-escalation?t=90) I mean, they had agents or mercenaries, I mean, until the Iranian regime or the authorities in Iran were possibly on the verge of collapse. Why didn't Iran... [1:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qLRpzdcO4EZC/en/debate-over-houthi-ties-to-iran-and-red-sea-escalation?t=100) I mean, at the time when Iran truly needed a move from Yemen, why didn't Yemen do anything? [1:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qLRpzdcO4EZC/en/debate-over-houthi-ties-to-iran-and-red-sea-escalation?t=105) And also during the American- Israeli aggression against Iran, which lasted 40 days and led to the martyrdom of Sayyed Ali Khamenei. [1:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qLRpzdcO4EZC/en/debate-over-houthi-ties-to-iran-and-red-sea-escalation?t=112) Did Yemen make any moves? Wasn't Iran in desperate need of that, then? And now, when Iran has begun to take the initiative, humiliating America and closing the Strait... [2:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qLRpzdcO4EZC/en/debate-over-houthi-ties-to-iran-and-red-sea-escalation?t=124) Hormuz, and it is the one targeting ships. [2:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qLRpzdcO4EZC/en/debate-over-houthi-ties-to-iran-and-red-sea-escalation?t=125) No one can pass through except with its permission. [2:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qLRpzdcO4EZC/en/debate-over-houthi-ties-to-iran-and-red-sea-escalation?t=127) No American ship dares to enter the Gulf. [2:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qLRpzdcO4EZC/en/debate-over-houthi-ties-to-iran-and-red-sea-escalation?t=132) Do you think Iran now needs Yemen? Also When did the operations Yemen launched begin? [2:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qLRpzdcO4EZC/en/debate-over-houthi-ties-to-iran-and-red-sea-escalation?t=138) Didn't they begin when Sanaa Airport was targeted and the truce ended? Regardless They said Saudi Arabia had targeted it. [2:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qLRpzdcO4EZC/en/debate-over-houthi-ties-to-iran-and-red-sea-escalation?t=145) The government denied it, saying Yemen had targeted Saudi Arabia, and the government affiliated with it, based in Riyadh hotels, is one party. [2:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qLRpzdcO4EZC/en/debate-over-houthi-ties-to-iran-and-red-sea-escalation?t=151) Any party that ends the truce gives Sanaa the right to respond. [2:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qLRpzdcO4EZC/en/debate-over-houthi-ties-to-iran-and-red-sea-escalation?t=155) Sanaa's response was limited. There was no attack on the land, nor any attack on the mainland. It was simply closing the Red Sea to Saudi Arabia. [2:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qLRpzdcO4EZC/en/debate-over-houthi-ties-to-iran-and-red-sea-escalation?t=163) And I think everyone, my dear sister, knows that Yemen is acting in its own interests and those of its country. [2:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qLRpzdcO4EZC/en/debate-over-houthi-ties-to-iran-and-red-sea-escalation?t=169) The ones acting in the interests of Saudi Arabia are its affiliated forces, which, after Saudi Arabia was targeted and the Red Sea was closed to it, sent a lot of military equipment and began Through skirmishes, either in Mocha or in many areas. [3:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qLRpzdcO4EZC/en/debate-over-houthi-ties-to-iran-and-red-sea-escalation?t=183) So why did we go to Mocha, or why did they go to Taiz? It is a Yemeni region under Saudi occupation, and it must be liberated. [3:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/qLRpzdcO4EZC/en/debate-over-houthi-ties-to-iran-and-red-sea-escalation?t=190) Okay, but Mr. Mohammed Al-Thawr, who is an adviser.
