The Yemeni army and popular forces continued their advances deep inside the Southern part of Saudi Arabia, inflicting heavy losses on them, including destroying their weapons and ammunition depot. “Two military vehicles and arms depot of the Saudi forces were destroyed in al-Makhrouq military base in Najran province,” the Arabic-language media outlets quoted unnamed local sources as saying on Friday. The Yemeni officials said that the Yemeni forces’ recent military operations against Saudi Arabia are in response to the kingdom’s continued violation of ceasefire.

Riyadh has intensified military strikes on Yemen following the failure of a second round of negotiations between the Ansarullah delegates and their allies on one side and the representatives of Yemen’s former regime on the other. The former regime delegates are loyalists to Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, who has resigned as Yemen’s president but seeks to forcefully return to power. The Saudi war was launched in March 2015 to enable Hadi’s reinstatement. The Ansarullah movement and its political allies have been running Yemen since Hadi’s resignation and escape from the country. Fighters from the movement and allied army units have been fighting back against Saudi Arabia.

Peace talks were launched in Kuwait on April 21, but no major breakthrough has ever been made amid sharp differences between the two sides. Ansarullah say any potential peace process should, first and foremost, facilitate the formation of a national unity government and the appointment of a new consensus president, who would oversee transition.

Tehran’s provisional Friday Prayers Leader Ayatollah Mohammad Emami Kashani condemned the Saudi regime for continuing the slaughtering of the civilians in Yemen. Addressing a large and fervent congregation of the people on Tehran University campus on Friday, Ayatollah Emami Kashani said, “We see what they are doing to Yemen and how they created and trained Daesh (the ISIL).” He said that the US and Israel are plotting to destroy the world of Islam, adding, “Now you see how they are achieving their goals with the help of the Saudi petrodollars.” In relevant remarks in June, former Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian renewed Tehran’s stance on the need to find a political solution to the crisis in Yemen. “The crisis in Yemen has no military solution and the Yemeni people themselves should decide their future,” Amir Abdollahian in a meeting with Japanese Foreign Ministry’s director general for the Middle East affairs in Tehran.

The Iranian deputy foreign minister reiterated that the regional conflicts, specially the crises in Syria and Yemen, do not have military solutions, and said, “The only option is to consolidate peace and stability in those two countries and the region through adopting a rational stance.” Saudi Arabia has been waging a war on Yemen since late March 2015 in a bid to reinstate Mansour Hadi and undermine the Ansarullah movement, which took over state matters after Hadi resigned. Over 9,400 Yemenis, including 4,000 women and children, have lost their lives in the deadly military campaign. Yemenis, in return, have been carrying out retaliatory attacks on the pro-Saudi forces deployed in the country as well as targets inside Saudi Arabia.
