UAE forces deploy reinforcements in Shabwah province
New deployments are part of deal between UAE and Saudi Arabia
UAE occupation forces have reinforced its militias stationed at Camp Al-Alam, located on the outskirts of the city of Ataq in Shabwah province, southern Yemen, local sources said on Wednesday.
According to the sources, armoured military vehicles, carrying Emirati officers and militias, arrived from the port of Balhaf to Camp al-Alam, northwest of the city of Ataq.
The sources added that planes escorted the military convoy from Balhaf to Camp al-Alam.
The move came amid UAE-Saudi arrangements to reformulate the situation in southern Yemen according to a revised draft of the Riyadh Agreement, dividing the occupied parts of Yemen amongst one another.

UNESCO World Heritage Site Under Fire in Yemen
According to some accounts, Socotra is the alleged location of the Garden of the Eden as described in the Quran and Old Testament. Others claim that the land mass is the long lost island of Atlantis. The remote island has a population of less than 50,000 and most people who live there speak the ancient unwritten language of Soqotri. In order to protect the island’s unique landscape and cultural heritage, UNESCO recognized Socotra as a World Heritage site in 2008. Experts worry the increasing foreign influence edged on by Yemen’s five-year civil war will erode the island’s fragile ecosystem and unique way of life, which is based around fishing and indigenous tradition.
The island of Socotra is seen as an asset to most competing parties in Yemen due to its abundance of natural resources, biodiversity, and strategic geographic location on the Bab el Mandeb strait. This strait links the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden and one of the world’s most active shipping lanes according to Global Edge. The island is most famed for its oil reserves and rare Red Dragon Tree species, which grows nowhere else in the world but Socotra. According to National Geographic, the whimsical umbrella-like shrub is endemic to the island, and has been harvested for centuries to produce a bright red homeopathic sap – which was once worth its weight in gold during the Middle Ages. At one time traces of the Red Dragon’s homeopathic sap could be found in medicine cabinets of the world’s most powerful emperors from Rome to China. The alien-looking tree is the island’s namesake and most prized export.

How Saudi Arabia seeks to keep Yemen divided
The separatist takeover of Socotra island is indicative of Saudi Arabia's approval for efforts which undermine Yemen's unity.
Saudi Arabia was watching as events unfolded in Socotra last week, allowing UAE-backed southern separatists to take over the island in the Arabian Sea.
Around 1,000 Saudi soldiers are stationed on the island but did not confront the advance of the militants, Yemeni government sources said.
Fully armed and politically motivated, the secessionists seized all state institutions and military headquarters in Socotra. They also removed the flag of Yemen and hoisted the flag of what they say is South Yemen, the state which they aspire to establish.
This all happened in full view and knowledge of Saudi Arabia, which has been leading a ruinous five-year military campaign allegedly in support of the Yemeni government against the Iran-allied Houthis.
The governor of Socotra, Ramzi Mahrous, fled the island to Al-Mahra province after realising Riyadh had betrayed the Yemeni government.
In an interview with Al-Mahria TV channel, he accused Saudi Arabia of facilitating the separatist takeover of Socotra. "We received Saudi guarantees of de-escalation but it retreated from its guarantees and let the Southern Transitional Council (STC) seize Socotra," he said.

Riyadh Agreement challenges
While armed confrontations between the Riyadh-backed Yemeni government and Southern Transitional Council have subsided, new tensions are arising within the Hadi government
While the military hostilities may have subsided, the political friction between the STC and the government seems to have shifted to within the latter camp which grew more sharply divided since STC forces drove out Hadi-aligned forces and took control of Socotra two weeks ago. According to sources close to the Yemeni presidency, there is a faction in the government camp — a kind of alliance between the Yemeni Congregation for Reform (Islah) and the General People’s Congress (GPC) — that now has reservations over the measures called for by the Riyadh Agreement. They believe that this explains the flare up in violence the day after the 23 June ceasefire was concluded. This Islah-led faction wants to create a military council instead of a power-sharing government with the STC. It also insists on a military operation to retake Socotra. Apparently Hadi managed to prevail over that faction during last Friday’s meeting in Riyadh. A military council would encroach on Hadi’s authorities, on the one hand, and its agenda would precipitate a clash with that of Riyadh, which is currently working to contain the crisis in southern Yemen.
Mohamed Abdul-Hadi of the Southern Revolutionary Council believes that some hurdles lay ahead for the political track and that the two sides — the STC and the government — are still in the haggling phase. “The STC wants to increase its share of seats in the interim government to eight, whereas, according to the political annex of the November agreement, it was only supposed to get two portfolios. That means the extra six would come at the expense of other southern forces,” he said. The Southern Movement, of which the STC represents a faction, is entitled to 12 of the 24 cabinet seats under the agreement.
Also, according to Abdul-Hadi, the STC wants to retain the governorships of Aden and Socotra. The government countered that the STC could have another ministry, but in exchange President Hadi would name the governor of Aden and the STC would have to surrender Socotra in its entirety to the legitimate government. “This is not the only controversial point. The two sides can’t even agree over names of candidates for the posts,” Abdul-Hadi said, adding that despite the deployment of a Saudi observer force in Abyan, “there are still intermittent breaches” of the ceasefire.
While some observers believe the problem of Socotra could be settled in the framework of the dialogue between the Yemeni parties, others believe that the question of the island, strategically located on major shipping routes, will have to be settled at the Saudi-UAE level first.
Although the UAE has maintained an enigmatic silence on Socotra, Yemeni sources, some unofficial and others affiliated with the Saudi backed Hadi government, suspect the UAE plans to build a military base there. Nevertheless, they believe that the question will ultimately be handled diplomatically rather than militarily

Yemeni ex-minister: Saudis pressure on gov't to abandon Aden, Socotra
The Yemeni resigned minister of transportation on Monday accused Saudi Arabia of acting on behalf of the United Arab Emirates and forcing his internationally-recognized government into abandoning Aden and Socotra in favor of the Southern Transitional Council (STC).
"Saudi Arabia overexerts itself on behalf of Emirates in pressuring the legitimate leadership into waiving Aden and Socotra to militias affiliated to Abu Dhabi intelligence," Saleh al-Jabwani tweeted.
"It was the signature of Riyadh Agreement that brought us to this point, as concession breeds surrender. The solution is through invalidating this pact, and the [battle] field will be gauge between us and Abu Dhabi," he added.
On Friday, Mr. Jabwani accused the Kingdom of colluding with the UAE in supporting the STC "militias", calling on Riyadh to correct what it "spoilt in Yemen, or to leave" the country.

Yemen’s STC calls for equal government representation within Riyadh Agreement
According to the coalition, the STC and the government are due to hold further talks in Saudi Arabia to discuss the truce.
Yemen’s Southern Transitional Council President Aidarus al-Zubaidi spoke Monday of the need to form a new government with equal representation in accordance with the Riyadh Agreement.
He noted that once formed, this government should assume its tasks immediately to provide the required public services to citizens, and push ahead with the implementation of the rest of the terms of the agreement, brokered by Riyadh and signed in November.
Zubaidi, during a meeting with British Ambassador to Yemen Michael Aron at his residence in Riyadh, said that that peace and stability will only be achieved in the war-battered country if the Riyadh Agreement is fully implemented and the implications of the current crisis with the government of President Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi are addressed.

UAE-backed Yemen forces loot Central Bank’s cash in Mukalla port
Yemeni forces backed by the UAE on Sunday stormed the Mukalla port in Hadramout and looted five containers of cash belonging to the Central Bank of Yemen, which were recently printed in Russia.
Sources said that “the Emirati forces present at Rayyan Al-Mukalla International Airport stormed the port with militants affiliated to the Southern Transitional Council (STC) and confiscated the money that arrived on Sunday.”
The same sources stated that “the looters were accompanied by Emirati planes that flew at low altitude to protect the containers until they reached Al-Rayyan area in the city of Mukalla.”
On Sunday, a ship carrying newly printed money belonging to the Yemeni government, docked under heavy guard in the Mukalla port, east of Yemen, as the authorities closed the area in conjunction with a demonstration carried out by supporters of the UAE-backed STC, demanding the confiscation of these funds allegedly heading to Maarib.
The money containers were supposed to be transferred to the Central Bank’s branches in the eastern governorates of Hadhramout, Al-Mahra, and Shabwa, to pay the salaries of civilians and military personnel.
The militia of the UAE-backed STC carried out a similar robbery in Aden on 13 June

Yemeni officer accuses STC of breaching truce in Abyan
Forces of the Southern Transitional Council (STC) have targeted Yemeni official government troops in the southern governorate of Abyan where a ceasefire has been in effect since Sunday, military sources said Tuesday.

Despite the attack, the troops pursued their way to the coastal city of Shoqra, where the army is stationed near Zinjobar city, local media quoted the source as saying.
The STC shelled a number of government troops' sites with mortar in al-Taria area, another military source said, accusing the Emirati-backed STC of "exploiting the ceasefire observed by the government troops in the governorate in a bid to take control on the ground."

Saudi Arabia set to officially take over Yemeni oil fields starting today
Sources close to exiled president Hadi state that puppet ruler will sign away rights to eastern Yemeni oil fields to Saudi Arabia on Sunday
Exiled former president of Yemen, Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi is reportedly set to sign a document selling Yemen’s so-called “Black Triangle” oil sector to the Saudi Aramco corporation for the extremely low price of $5 billion, sources close to Hadi reported.
The sources told Yemen Press Agency on Saturday evening that a special meeting brought together the Saudi ambassador in Aden Mohammed Al Jaber with Hadi, the speaker of the exiled parliament and his senior advisers at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Riyadh.
The meeting discussed and approved the final value of the draft deal, which amounts to only 5 billion US dollars, in exchange for the monopoly of oil wealth in the eastern desert strip of Yemen’s Black Triangle being given to Saudi Arabia for 40 years.
More recently, the kingdom, which has been leading an aggressive war on Yemen for more than five years, has openly sought to spread out to several Yemeni oil and gas economic sites, and had taken over strategic areas and provinces, all within the framework of agreements signed earlier with Hadi’s government.
According to observers, this trend to control Yemen’s oil and gas wealth comes after Saudi Arabia secured full control of the Socotra archipelago and important strategic sites such as Mahrah province.
A leaked document issued by the Ministry of Oil in Hadi’s government on the terms of an agreement planned to be signed between Hadi’s government and the Saudi Program for the Development and Reconstruction of Yemen, shows that Saudi petroleum company Aramco is set to take over sectors of the so-called “Black Triangle” oil region in the eastern provinces of Yemen.

Saudi and UAE invaders send reinforcements to oil-rich provinces of Yemen
New massing of troops likely prelude to complete takeover of oil production in region
Saudi occupation forces have on Sunday pushed new reinforcements into Mahrah province, eastern Yemen, local sources reported.
According to the sources, the Saudi reinforcements included giant cranes, in a sign of Saudi Arabia’s efforts to extend and lay an oil pipeline which is opposed by social and tribal forces in the province.
The move coincides with the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council’s incursion into the neighboring province of Amman.
Several directorates including al-Masilah, Huswain, Sayhutand Hawf have witnessed UAE-backed demonstrations, all of which have declared support for the self-administration of the area by the STC.
The demonstrations come in the context of a Saudi escalation that threatens tribal forces opposed to Riyadh’s plan to turn the province into a gateway for exporting Saudi oil to the world through the Arabian Sea.

Yemen ceasefire crucial to save country from disaster, European ministers say
Swedish, German and British foreign ministers outline road map for stability in Yemen amid coronavirus disaster
The foreign ministers of Sweden, Germany and the UK have outlined a five-step plan for Yemen, including calls for a ceasefire, to save the country from collapse.
The Swedish Foreign Minister, Anne Lind, with her German and British counterparts, Heiko Maas and Dominic Raab, have written in the Financial Times saying that the international community should act to help pull Yemen back from the brink.
The three European officials said that after six years of war and with Covid-19 stretching the country’s healthcare capacity to its limit, a ceasefire was essential for Yemen to have a chance against the pandemic.
They welcomed the Saudi-led coalition’s unilateral ceasefire in April but decried continued violence in the country.
“Unfortunately, the Houthis have not reciprocated and fighting has continued. The Houthis have launched ballistic missiles towards Saudi Arabia, including at civilian targets, as recently as last week, recklessly endangering civilian lives,” the three foreign ministers said.

My comment: A peace initiative would be a good thing. But Britain is a warring party in Yemen (look at cp10), Germany is an arms supplier to Saudi Arabia and a backer of US Middle East policy.

Security Council Press Statement on Yemen
The members of the Security Council reiterated their endorsement of the Secretary-General’s call of 25 March for those fighting in Yemen to immediately cease hostilities and condemned the recent unmanned aerial vehicles and missile attacks on Saudi Arabia as well as escalations of aerial and ground violence in the Yemen conflict.
The members of the Security Council emphasized their steadfast support for Special Envoy Martin Griffiths and his efforts to reach agreement on a nationwide ceasefire, humanitarian and economic measures, and the resumption of an inclusive Yemeni-led and Yemeni-owned political process as set out in relevant United Nations resolutions, including resolution 2216 (2015), as well as by the Gulf Cooperation Council initiative and its implementation mechanism and the outcome of the National Dialogue Conference. They expressed deep concern at the slow pace of negotiations and called on the parties to agree to mediated proposals with haste. They welcomed the announcement, brokered by the “Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen”, of a ceasefire in Abyan between the Government of Yemen and the Southern Transitional Council and the deployment of Coalition ceasefire monitors, and highly appreciated the efforts of the Coalition in this regard. They subsequently called on the parties to rapidly implement the provisions of the Riyadh Agreement. The members of the Security Council called on the parties to commit themselves in good faith to enable a return to peace in Yemen.
The members of the Security Council expressed deep alarm at the growing risk that the Safer oil tanker could rupture or explode, causing an environmental, economic, and humanitarian catastrophe for Yemen and its neighbours. They underscored the need for the Houthis to immediately grant unconditional access for United Nations technical experts to assess the tanker’s condition, conduct any possible urgent repairs, and make recommendations for the safe extraction of the oil, ensuring close cooperation with the United Nations.
The Members of the Security Council expressed deep concern at the catastrophic humanitarian situation and the multiple humanitarian challenges facing Yemen.
They also expressed concern at the devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic spreading throughout Yemen and praised the role of humanitarian aid and health-care workers
https://www.un.org/press/en/2020/sc14233.doc.htm
My comment: Such a statement demonstrates the biased position of the UN: The (compared to other actions of this war) harmless Houthi missile attacks are condemned, while Saudi coalition air raids are hidden in “escalations of aerial […] violence.” The SC still keeps Resolution 2216, the GCC initiative and the National Dialogue Conference as references for peace, which are either biased (resolution) or outdated since the beginning of the Saudi aerial war in March 2015 and therefor are the best blockades for any peaceful solution. When mentioning blockade: The blockade of Northern Yemen by the Saudi coalition, causing a humanitarian catastrophe, are not even mentioned. Instead, the blame for the Safer problem is solely given to the Houthis. Therefor, conclusion: The latest Houthi blames against the UN are largely justified. And Saudi propaganda takes the headline: UNSC condemns missile attacks on Saudi Arabia, lashes out at Houthi militia (https://english.alarabiya.net/en/News/gulf/2020/06/30/UNSC-condemns-missile-attacks-on-Saudi-Arabia-lashes-out-at-Houthi-militia.html, and https://www.spa.gov.sa/viewfullstory.php?lang=en&newsid=2103806).
In light of this, the Hadi government’s statement sounds even more absurd:

Saudi Arabia Hands Megacity PR Mandate To Ruder Finn
Saudi Arabia has hired Ruder Finn to handle CSR and sustainability for Neom, the futuristic city planned for the Red Sea coast.
Ruder Finn has been hired by Saudi Arabia to handle CSR and sustainability work for Neom, the $500bn megacity that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has planned for the country’s Northwest coast.
Ruder Finn won the one-year, $1.7m contract in a competitive review, and formally started working on the business in late May. Teneo is among other agencies working on Neom, which is part of the Crown Prince’s Vision 2030 reform program and plan to diversify the Saudi economy.
“Neom’s CSR is focused on educating and training the local community, generating employment opportunities, empowering small and medium size business, enabling the youth, unlocking their potential and engaging with the community in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and globally,” said Monica Marshall, who heads Ruder Finn’s purpose practice, and is leading the account.
Marshall pointed specifically to "educational opportunities for male and female students from the local community to study disciplines that will support the development of Neom in areas such AI, robotics, and renewable energy engineering". In addition, she said that vocational training programs will be provided for more than 6,000 students between now and 2025.
"Ruder Finn is supporting this strategy and communications, helping to share the sustainability and societal stories and impact, meet global standards of governance, and forge partnerships with leading organizations," said Marshall.

Curtailed Hajji compounds Saudi economic woes
Vacant religious sites. Abandoned pilgrim tents. Lifeless hotels. A stunning emptiness -- and fears of economic ruin -- haunt the usually bustling city of Mecca after Saudi authorities curtailed the hajj pilgrimage over coronavirus.
Islam's holiest city usually hosts millions of pilgrims for the annual rite, but the kingdom has barred overseas visitors from this year's event, scheduled for late July.
The hajj and the lesser umrah pilgrimage together rake in some $12 billion, keeping the economy humming in Mecca, home to two million people and marble-bedecked skyscrapers towering over Islam's most sacred sites.
A construction boom in recent years has added shopping malls, apartments and luxury hotels, some offering spectacular views of the sacred Kaaba, a cube-shaped structure in the Grand Mosque towards which Muslims around the world pray.
But most premises have lain empty since the pandemic reached the kingdom.
The virus, which hit Mecca hard, has also battered pilgrimage-reliant businesses that support hundreds of thousands of jobs, from travel agents to street barbers and souvenir shops.
Many have reported sweeping layoffs, pay cuts or delayed salaries.

More evidence of Saudi doubletalk?
Judge caught on tape encouraging Saudis to fight in Iraq
Sheik Saleh Al Luhaidan, seen in video seated to the right of the crown prince, is chief justice of Saudi Arabia's Supreme Judicial Council. His sermons and words carry great significance.
In an audiotape secretly recorded at a government mosque last October and obtained by NBC News, Luhaidan encourages young Saudis to go to Iraq to wage war against Americans.
"If someone knows that he is capable of entering Iraq in order to join the fight, and if his intention is to raise up the word of God, then he is free to do so," says Luhaidan in Arabic on the tape.
He warns Iraq is risky because "evil satellites and drone aircraft" watch the borders. But he says going is religiously permissible.
"The lawfulness of his action is in fighting an enemy who is fighting Muslims and came for war," says Luhaidan.
The sheik also says those donating money to the fight in Iraq should be sure it actually helps the cause.
"This statement shows the real face of the Saudi government," says Saudi dissident Ali Al-Ahmed of the Saudi Institute, based in Washington.
Al-Ahmed says that while Saudi officials — including Sheik Luhaidan — publicly oppose jihad in Iraq, privately some send a different message.
"He is telling Saudis it's OK to go to Iraq and kill Americans and Iraqis and they won’t be punished for doing that," says Al-Ahmed.
A Saudi spokesman twice denied the tape was authentic, claiming Saudi intelligence analysts determined it was "a crude fake." So NBC News called Luhaidan himself, in Saudi Arabia, and played the tape.
Luhaidan confirmed those were his words, saying in Arabic, "Yes, this is my voice."
But the sheik said what he really meant was that it's not worth it for young Saudis to go to Iraq and that the Iraqis are capable of fighting on their own.

Rights group demand Saudi to reveal fate of 5 Yemen detainees
A human rights group yesterday called on Saudi Arabia to “immediately” disclose the fate of five Yemenis being held in its prisons.
In a statement issued by Geneva-based SAM Organisation for Rights and Liberties said: “We demand the disclosure of the fate of Sheikh Abdul Aziz Al-Zubayri (a Yemeni preacher) who has been forcibly disappeared in the kingdom’s prisons since his arrest by the Saudi security forces on 20 May.”
It also demanded the release of four other detainees, including activist Mohamed Al-Bakkari, who has been held since 8 April.

Organizations urge Congress to Oppose New U.S. Arm Sales to Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E
Freedom Forward and a coalition of organizations released a letter urging the U.S. Congress to block all armed sales to Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E. and to fundamentally downgrade the U.S. relationship with both monarchies.
Dear Senators and Representatives,
We urge you to oppose all new arms sales to the brutal monarchies of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (the U.A.E.), as well as co-production licenses for weapons manufacturing within Saudi Arabia or the U.A.E. Both Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E. pose significant threats to U.S. interests, and the U.S. should take immediate steps to downgrade its relationship with both monarchies.
We are deeply disturbed by recent reports that the Trump administration is moving forward with a $478 million arms sale to Saudi Arabia’s monarchy, which would provide 7,500 precision-guided missiles to a government that has already bombed thousands of civilians in Yemen, often with U.S. weapons. The sale would reportedly also approve a new co-production license to permit Raytheon to expand its manufacturing of sophisticated missile technology in Saudi Arabia.[1] We are also troubled by the Trump Administration’s prior announcement of a $556 million arms sale of 4,569 MRAP vehicles to the U.A.E., a government that has also brought misery to both Yemen and Libya.[2]
We call on Congress to block all new arms sales to Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E. and enact a full moratorium on all U.S. arms sales to both countries.

World Rebukes U.S. Over Iran
With Trump’s re-election prospects up in the air, a heated U.N. meeting on Iran shows world powers' fading fear of confronting the United States.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Tuesday sought to reassert America’s waning influence on the world stage, challenging the U.N. Security Council to extend a U.N. arms embargo that is due to expire in October. Instead, America’s top diplomat received a scolding from friends and foes alike in the 15-nation council, which roundly criticized Washington for withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal two years ago without a clear plan to limit Tehran’s nuclear activities.
The council’s chilly reception of Pompeo added to a portrait of an increasingly isolated United States and underscored how little deference other countries pay the Trump administration as it faces a grim reelection contest.
The pointedly critical tone of the debate saw Germany accusing Washington of violating international law by withdrawing from the nuclear pact, while Berlin aligned itself with China’s claim that the United States has no right to reimpose U.N. sanctions on Iran. Russia’s U.N. ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia, compared U.S. sanctions on Iran to the killing of George Floyd, saying they were akin to “putting a knee to one’s neck.”
The dispute centered on the fate of the nearly moribund 2015 Iran nuclear deal, which capped Iran’s ability to develop a nuclear weapon but which the United States abandoned in May 2018. European parties to the deal, like Iran, want to keep it alive; the Trump administration wants to kill it before the election, lest any future Democratic administration bring it back to life.
The latest battleground is one provision of that deal, the planned expiry in October of a U.N. arms embargo on Iran—one of the sweeteners of the nuclear deal. U.S. allies, including the security council’s five European states, share Washington’s concern about Iran’s arms trade, though Europe’s own arms embargo is set to continue until 2023 regardless. But they worry that extending the U.N. arms embargo, in clear violation of the pact signed in 2015, would drive Tehran to kick out nuclear inspectors and set the stage for an even quicker development of its nuclear program.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif dismissed claims that Iranian-made weapons were being transferred to Yemen and elsewhere in violation of U.N. sanctions.
“The international community in general and the U.N. Security Council in particular are facing an important decision,” Zarif told the council. “Do we maintain respect of the rule of law, or do we return to the law of the jungle by surrendering to the whims of an outlaw bully?”
The Trump administration this month circulated a draft resolution to extend the arms embargo on Iran, but veto-wielding China and Russia signaled they would not support the U.S. plan. European powers also reacted coolly to the resolution and are expected to introduce their own stopgap proposal to extend parts of the arms embargo for up to six months. It is unclear if the United States would support their plan – by Colum Lynch, Robbie Gramer
My comment: US BS politics. Just listen to Pompeo: “If you fail to act, Iran will be free to purchase Russian-made fighter jets that can strike up to a 3,000-kilometer radius, putting cities like Riyadh, New Delhi, Rome, and Warsaw in Iranian crosshairs.” This is 100 % hypothetical. But, this already is a grim and deadly reality: „Saudi Arabia is free to purchase US-made fighter jets that can strike up to a 3,000-kilometer radius, putting cities like Sanaa, New Delhi, Rome, and Warsaw in Saudi crosshairs.”

Pompeo urges UN arms embargo on Iran’s `terrorist regime’
Calling Iran “the world’s most heinous terrorist regime,” U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo urged the U.N. Security Council on Tuesday to extend the U.N. arms embargo against Tehran, which expires in October, and reject “extortion diplomacy.”
Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif countered calling President Donald Trump’s administration “an outlaw bully” that is waging “economic terrorism” on his country to satisfy domestic constituencies and “personal aggrandizement.”
He called for the U.S. to compensate the Iranian people for the damage and vehemently opposed any extension of the arms embargo, warning that Iran’s options “will be firm” if it is maintained and the U.S. will bear full responsibility.
The United States has circulated a draft Security Council resolution to extend the arms embargo indefinitely, and Pompeo said the United States’ “overwhelming preference” is to work with its 15 members to adopt it.
But he indicated that if the resolution isn’t approved, which is likely because of Russian and Chinese opposition, the U.S. will move to invoke a provision of the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and world powers to re-impose all U.N. sanctions against Iran. The Trump administration pulled out of the deal in 2018.

Saudi Arabia and US push for extension of Iran arms embargo
Saudi Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Adel Al-Jubeir and US Special Representative for Iran Brian Hook on Monday called on the international community to extend a UN embargo on sales of weapons to Iran to prevent any expansion of the nation’s state-sponsored terrorism.
Speaking during a joint press conference in Riyadh, Al-Jubeir said Saudi and US policies on Iran are identical.
“We both see Iran as a grave danger not only to regional stability, but international stability,” he said.
“We believe that Iran is the chief sponsor of terrorism and that the international community has to be more firm in dealing with the Iranians and their proxies.”
To illustrate the threat, the Arab Coalition displayed weapons, including drones and missiles, believed to have been supplied by Iran to Houthi militias in Yemen, which were used in cross-border attacks on Saudi cities.

Middle East risks renewed arms race, US warns
The US and Saudi governments have made a joint public appeal to the UN Security Council to extend the 13-year old arms embargo on Iran or risk a renewed arms race in the Middle East.
"Iran has not earned the trust to have the embargo lifted... The last thing this region needs is more Iranian weapons," said Brian Hook, President Donald Trump's special representative on Iran during a joint press conference in Saudi Arabia. Mr Hook stood alongside Adel Jubeir, Saudi Arabia's minister of state for foreign affairs.
The joint press conference made no mention of the £5.3bn ($6.5bn) worth of arms reportedly sold by the UK to Saudi Arabia since the Yemen war accelerated in March 2015, nor of the large number of Yemeni civilians killed by Saudi-led coalition airstrikes, drawing widespread international criticism.

What Is The UK's Role In The Yemen Crisis?
As research by think tank the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute shows, Britain is one of three major countries exporting arms to Saudi Arabia, which include the United States and France, BBC News reports.
Supplying weapons and other defence technology is the UK's main export, but the country also "provides the personnel and expertise required to keep the war going," the Guardian writes. Deployed by the British government, RAF troops work as engineers to train pilots of the coalition.
Around 6,300 British contractors "are stationed at forward operating bases in Saudi Arabia," where they also "supervise Saudi soldiers to load bombs to planes and set their fuses for their intended targets."
Additional RAF "liaison officers" work at the command-and-control centre, "from where targets in Yemen are selected." However, the UK government says that while they may arm the coalition, they don't pick the targets in Yemen.
Multinational defence, security and aerospace company BAE Systems was subcontracted by the government to provide arms, which have 50 sites across the UK. As one of the biggest defence manufacturers in the world, BAE produce "a wide range of weaponry systems, including Eurofighter-Typhoon jets and Trident nuclear missile submarines," per the Guardian.
Per the Guardian, BAE Systems has been a principal supplier of Eurofighter Typhoon and Tornado jets to the Royal Saudi Air Force.
"The Saudi bosses absolutely depend on BAE Systems," John Deverell, a former MoD mandarin and defence attached to Saudi Arabia and Yemen, told the Guardian. "They couldn't do it without us." As the Guardian writes, under British law "it is illegal to license arms exports if they might be used deliberately or recklessly against civilians — or in legal terms, to violate international humanitarian law."

„Der Kampf gegen den Terror ist das stärkste Argument“
Seit Jahren gehört Deutschland zu den fünf größten Rüstungsexporteuren weltweit. Markus Bickel, Autor des Buchs „Profiteure des Terrors“, erklärt, wie diese Exporte Kriege begünstigen und warum die Bundesregierung kaum Konsequenzen daraus zieht.
Ihr Buch über Rüstungsexporte aus Deutschland nach WANA haben Sie 2017 veröffentlicht. Welche Ereignisse haben die deutsche Rüstungsexportpolitik seitdem besonders geprägt?
Das war vor allem die Ermordung des Journalisten Jamal Khashoggi im saudischen Konsulat in Istanbul im Oktober 2018. Seitdem gilt ein Ausfuhrstopp von einem Großteil der Güter an Saudi-Arabien. Rüstungsgegner fordern das seit Jahren, unter anderem wegen des Jemen-Kriegs. Trotzdem war Saudi-Arabien immer unter den Top-Zehn- oder gar Top-Drei-Empfängern deutscher Rüstungsgüter gewesen.
Was bedeutet das für Saudi-Arabien, wenn es keine Waffen mehr von Deutschland bekommt? Endet der Krieg im Jemen dann?
Die Rüstungsbefürworter sagen ja immer, wenn wir aussteigen, verkaufen andere. Damit haben sie Recht, aber für mich ist es kein Argument zu sagen: Weil andere verkaufen, müssen wir auch verkaufen. Beim Atomausstieg ist Deutschland auch mit gutem Beispiel vorangegangen. Zwar sind bisher keine anderen Länder gefolgt, aber das macht den Atomausstieg doch nicht schlechter. Dass Deutschland fast keine Rüstung mehr an Saudi-Arabien liefert, wird den Krieg im Jemen nicht beenden, aber kann schon für Probleme bei den Saudis sorgen, wenn zum Beispiel bestimmte Ersatzteile oder Modernisierungstechnologien für Kampfflieger fehlen.

Somalia angrily rejects “ridiculous” UAE blackmail to join war against Yemen
"Somalis are not cheap tools used for your goals," Foreign Minister Ahmed Issa responds to UAE attempt to drag Somalia into war against Yemen
Foreign Minister of Somalia Ahmed Issa has stated that the United Arab Emirates has presented an offer to the Federal Republic of Somalia, which he described as “ridiculous.” The minister stressed that the Somali response was a hard no, in a statement to Somalia News.
The Emirati government reportedly offered to reopen the Sheikh Zayed Hospital in the Somali capital of Mogadishu, in exchange for Somalia joining the war against Yemen and officially claiming the Socotra archipelago as Somali territory.
Sheikh Zayed Hospital was an Emirati-run health institution that offered free healthcare to Somali citizens. It was closed by the UAE back in 2018, as part of a diplomatic row between Abu Dhabi and Mogadishu.
“Somalis are not cheap tools used to implement your demands (…) Yemen is a neighbour and a brotherly country. and has its own sovereignty and dignity of its people,” Foreign Minister Ahmed Issa said.
“The world knows that Socotra is Yemeni land, and has been from ancient times,” he concluded.

N ew lawsuit may finally force Qatar to be held accountable
For most honest analysts, Qatar’s financial and ideological links to terror groups have always been plainly visible. The many millions that the emirate has spent on public relations, lobbying and other types of political warfare in the US, though, have gone a long way to obscure this fact.
A new lawsuit in a New York court might begin to change these perceptions, and finally force Qatar to be held accountable — not just legally and financially, but in American public opinion as well.
The lawsuit accuses the Qatari state of steering money to designated terror groups Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad through entities it controls, including Qatar Charity, the Masraf Al-Rayan Bank and the Qatar National Bank. The lawsuit has been filed by attorneys representing the families of Taylor Force, the 28-year-old American West Point graduate murdered by Hamas in 2016, as well as others killed in Israel by the Palestinian terror group.
If it goes forward, the lawsuit from Taylor Force’s family could pry open the debate about the double game Qatar has been playing, especially in the West.

UN report on Iranian missiles in Yemen used against Saudi: Key takeaways explained
A new UN report endorses long-standing claims that weapons “of Iranian origin” were used in several attacks against Saudi Arabia last year and have been exported to the Houthis in Yemen.
The report provides evidence for US officials in their case to extend the arms embargo on Iran and further calls into question Tehran’s public commitments to dialogue and the nuclear deal.
Authored by the UN’s chief, Secretary-General António Guterres, it examines the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 2231 – the resolution by which the UN endorsed the Iran nuclear deal, officially known as The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2015.
Limited information from the report was leaked on June 11, including the key finding that missiles launched against Saudi Arabia in recent attacks were “of Iranian origin.”
Now, Al Arabiya English has obtained the full report, along with a range of photographic and video evidence of Iranian missiles and arms shipments, including exclusive images of Iranian weapons found from a previously undisclosed raid on a dhow in April, 2020, and footage showing a new angle of the attack on Saudi Arabia’s Abha airport in 2019.
With the UN Security Council set to discuss extending the arms embargo on Iran past October, the report is “significant in its content and timing” and will strengthen the US case for extending the embargo, according to Jason Brodsky, the policy director at United Against a Nuclear Iran.
Saudi Arabia has also welcomed the report, saying that it confirmed Iran’s well-known destabilizing regional behavior.
“The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has consistently warned of the security consequences of arms agreements that overlook Iran’s regional expansion and ignore the legitimate security concerns of regional states. Today, we are glad that international partners are acknowledging these issues. It might have taken some time, but better late than never,” Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the UN Ambassador Abdallah Y. al-Mouallimi told Al Arabiya English.
Here is all you need to know about the new report and its evidence.
Key takeaways
1) Missiles and drones used in attacks against Saudi Arabia were “of Iranian origin.”
Secretary-General Guterres said the UN examined debris of weapons used in attacks on a Saudi oil facility in Afif in May, on the Abha international airport in June and August and on the Saudi Aramco oil facilities in Khurais and Abqaiq in September.
“The Secretariat assesses that the cruise missiles and/or parts thereof used in the four attacks are of Iranian origin,” said Guterres. The drones used in the May and September attacks were also “of Iranian origin,” he said.
While Saudi Arabia, the US and other investigators had reached this conclusion previously, it is the first time the UN secretary-general has explicitly confirmed their findings.
“There was always a very strong suspicion that the cruise missiles used were Iranian. Initially the UN said that it acknowledged the US and the Saudi findings, but couldn’t endorse their findings until they’d examined the evidence. Now it looks like they’ve come to the same conclusion,” said Douglas Barrie, senior fellow for military aerospace at the International Institute for Strategic Studies.

The latest disclosures follow several reports relating evidence that Turkey is increasing its involvement in Yemen substantially, providing training and material support to the Islah Party in particular in the hope of gaining control over key facilities and resources in the event Islah manages to secure control over parts of the war torn country.

GCC renews calls for peaceful resolution of Yemen conflict
Nayef Al-Hajarf, the Gulf Cooperation Council’s (GCC) Secretary General, has renewed the group’s call to pursue all efforts for a peaceful resolution of the conflict in Yemen.
The pan-Gulf organization official earlier met with United Nations Special Envoy to Yemen Martin Griffiths, where they discussed developmental and humanitarian undertakings for the war-torn country.

Qatar’s Anti-Saudi Seeds of the Islamist Quartet
The Islamist Quartet consists of Turkey, Qatar, Pakistan, and Malaysia. The seeds of its agenda were planted by Qatari Emir Hamad’s and Libyan dictator Muammar Qhaddafi’s plot to take down the Saudi royal family and divide the Kingdom. Qatari lobbyists have since managed to bury the long history and strategic depth of these relationships by reshaping the narrative with a focus on the 2017 Gulf Crisis.
A recent episode involving Malaysia giving cover to a fugitive radical Salafist preacher from India wanted on money laundering charges, per request by Pakistan, sheds some light on the seemingly new Islamist alliance between Islamist Sunni countries largely in opposition to Saudi Arabia’s traditional influence in the Muslim world: Turkey, Qatar, Malaysia, and Pakistan. The joint activity of this emergent Islamist Quartet, perhaps deliberately structured in opposition to the Anti-Terrorism Quartet or ATQ (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, and Bahrain), has thus far focused most of its activities on Kashmir, but also on populist anti-Israel rhetoric.

US activist: Houthis female security service is like Iran’s
An American activist of the Golden Institute of International strategy in New York, Adelle Nazarian, said that the mandate of the Houthis female Security apparatus known as Zainabiyat is largely similar to what is happening in Iran.
In an online symposium organized by the Yemeni Coalition of Independent Women, Nazarian said that Iran has changed Yemen into a place for replicating its regime.
She affirmed that Iran is the main supporter to the Houthis and the first party to be blamed to the war in Yemen.
She said the media does not report acts of violations in the Houthis-run prisons where the media outlets are being denied following up such issues.

Houthis spark fuel crisis in Yemen
Yemen's economic crisis continues to intensify because of the practices of the Iran-backed Houthi militia.
There is an acute shortage of petroleum products in Yemeni capital Sana'a. This comes at the time the Houthis hold back hundreds of tanker trucks full of gasoline and diesel and restrict their distribution to the outlets they control.
The shortages are opening the door for black market dealings to thrive. However, black market traders are raising the prices of petroleum products in unimaginable manners. The same is happening in the case of other commodities that are also disappearing and are sold at the black market for prices far higher than their original prices.
The Houthi militia has reserved a place at the premises of the National Petroleum Company for refueling their cars. Ordinary Yemenis are not allowed to refuel their cars in the same places.

Iran’s arms shipments to Houthis fuel war in Yemen, experts say
The latest Saudi-led-coalition seizure of an Iranian arms shipment destined for the Houthis is further evidence of Iran’s destabilizing role in war-torn Yemen, according to government officials and experts.
The Yemeni government has swiftly demanded that the international community put an end to Iranian meddling in Yemen in their sending arms shipments that fuel the war to the Houthis.
“There must be strong punishments against this country that supplies Houthis with those advanced weapons,” Al-Khanbashi said.
Experts argue that the continuing supplies of weapons from Iran has not only extended the conflict in Yemen, but also allowed them to target Saudi Arabia through ballistic missiles and drones.
“The Iranian support to the Houthis has not only prolonged the war, but also enabled the Houthis to target civilian areas in neighboring Saudi Arabia, as well as oil shipments, and to threaten international navigation through the Bab Al-Mandab,” Saleh Al-Baydhani, a Yemeni political analyst, told Arab News.
To stem the flow of Iranian weapons to Yemen, military experts suggest increasing sea patrol vessels near the Yemeni coast and liberating the remaining Yemeni coastal areas under Houthi control.
“Each time an arms shipment is intercepted, an attack inside Yemen or on Saudi Arabia is foiled. So I see the latest interception as a success,” Brig. Khaled Al-Nasi, a Yemeni military analyst, told Arab News.
“Tightening the screws on the smuggling of arms would accelerate the fall of this group,” Al-Nasi said.

Houthi militia.. 5 years of national capital demolition
The Houthi rebel militia is an updated version of Yemen’s authoritarian imamate regime before the September 26, 1962 revolution.
At that point, Yemenis suffered from extreme poverty, hunger, disease, epidemics and economic stagnation. Private property and agricultural crops were also confiscated and heavy burdens were borne by the payment of unregulated taxes, under a clear law or specific instructions.
The Imams, as well as the Houthi rebel militia, do not believe in something called national capital, and they do not care about everything.
However, they see the stability of the national capital and its growth and the cohesion of the general economic and financial system as a direct threat to them and their feudal system as certain families, which have everything.
A report prepared by the Studies Center and Economic Media (SCEM), confirmed that the Houthi militants robbed nearly $5 billion of the reserve stock of foreign currency in the Central Bank bringing 19 million Yemeni citizens to a tragic situation in need of urgent assistance.
According to the report, during the two years of the coup, the Houthi militants had caused massive destruction at all levels.

Houthis führen noch tiefere strategische Vergeltungsschlägen innerhalb Saudi-Arabiens durch
Die populäre jemenitische Houthi-Ansarullah-Bewegung lobte die jüngsten Vergeltungsschläge mit Raketen und Drohnen auf strategische Standorte tief im Inneren Saudi-Arabiens. Sie sagte, die jemenitischen Streitkräfte und Verbündeten planten, als Vergeltung für den Krieg des Königreichs gegen die verarmte Nation mehr Ziele anzugreifen.
„Eine Reihe der strategischen Ziele des Jemen wurden während der Operation [die so genannte Vierte Operation zur Abschreckung] erreicht. Mehrere andere werden bald erreicht werden“, sagte Mohammad al-Bukhaiti, Mitglied des politischen Büros der Ansarullah, in einem Exklusivinterview mit dem arabischsprachigen Fernsehnachrichtensender al-Alam am Donnerstagabend.
Er fügte hinzu,
„Was die jüngste jemenitische Militäroffensive von den vorherigen unterscheidet, ist die hohe Zahl der Raketen, die bei der Operation eingesetzt wurden, sowie die sensiblen Ziele, die getroffen wurden“.
„Zweitens wurde sie nach dem Friedensangebot [das kürzlich vom jemenitischen Mitglied des Obersten Politischen Rates Mohammad Ali al-Houthi unterbreitet wurde] durchgeführt, um den Wahn der Saudis zu zerstreuen, dass der Jemen den Vorschlag aus Verzweiflung vorgelegt habe. Nach den Streiks gegen die sensiblen Stätten wurde den saudi-arabischen Behörden und ihren Fürsprechern, insbesondere den Vereinigten Staaten und Großbritannien, jedoch klar, dass dies nicht der Fall war“, betonte Buchhaiti.

International newspaper: the elimination of a Houthi cell specialized in smuggling "ballistic" and "Al-Masirah" pieces
Military sources in the Ma'rib Governorate (east of Sanaa) reported that the army forces, supported by tribesmen, were able, yesterday (Monday), to destroy a Houthi cell in the Al-Wadi district, north of the governorate, after clashes that resulted in the killing of 8 members of the cell; Among them is its leader.
