London, 04 Apr – Many are calling for a quick, peaceful, resolution to the Yemeni Civil war, which should indicate that they are willing to work on a political solution, but the problem is that so far all we’ve heard is rhetoric.

The international community needs to find a solution that would guarantee the security of Yemen and its Gulf neighbours, but it has suggested nothing that is workable.

Before the Iran-backed Houthi rebels ever took control in Sana’a and forced the legitimate government to flee, Saudi Arabia sponsored internal negotiations to come up with a local solution in 2013. But this was literally shot down and triggered an armed response.

London, 03 Apr – Most media coverage of Iran’s aggression and expansionism focuses on the Middle East. While this is important, focusing solely on the Middle East ignores Iran’s interference in other countries, like those in the South Caucasus, namely Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan.

All of these countries are of importance to Iran, but in this article we will be focusing on Georgia.

London, 02 Apr – The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen have been boasting about their March 25 missile attacks on Saudi Arabia, supposedly in order to impress the increasingly disillusioned Yemeni people, but the Houthis are living dangerously, even for a terrorist group that deposed a rightful government.

So far in the three-year-long Yemeni Civil War, the Houthis have launched more than 100 missiles against Saudi cities and installations. Their most-recent attack launched seven missiles at the Kingdom and actually killed an Egyptian resident of Riyadh and wounded two other civilians; most Houthi missiles have been intercepted by Saudi defence systems beforehand, which prevented any deaths until now.

London, 02 Apr – The Saudi Crown Prince has warned that war with Iran will happen by 2032, unless the international community acts now to contain Iranian aggression and expansionism in the Middle East.

Prince Mohammed bin Salman told the Wall Street Journal that the international community needs to increase the economic and political pressure on Iran in order to stop another deadly war in the Middle East, the ramifications of which would spread far beyond the region.
