YEMEN CHOKEHOLD ON GLOBAL SHIPPING BIG SURPRISE! Israeli F-35's launch large-scale airstrike on Bomb Labs of Houthi Fighters in Yemen! PLAY YOUTUBE VIDEO Original article: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHXMd_K_cfs Peter Burgess COMMENTARY I did some consulting work for the World Bank in the Yemen Arab Republic (YAR-Sanaa) and the Peoples Republic of Aden (PDRY-Aden) in the early 1980s. At the time there were still some memory of the commercial shipping that linked India with the UK and Europe. Our team visited all the towns along the coast of bot YAR and PDRY and observed the many activities of the Soviet Union that were setting up to destabilise the region. None of this was in the general press in the UK and Rurope. It was very similar to what was going on in Somalia which had prompted President Carter to switch US cupport in the region from Ethiopia to Somalia. Peter Burgess

economic and logistical Network 1:07 between Iran and the houthis has 1:09 suffered a major blow the port of Hoda 1:12 is the most critical area for the supply 1:14 of Iranian and russian-made weapons to 1:16 the houthis as the satellite imagery 1:19 proves the economic and psychological 1:21 effects of this attack are tens of times 1:24 greater than the physical effects 1:26 causing far greater damage the damage 1:29 caused to the yemeni Port of Hoda as a 1:31 result of yesterday's attack by the 1:32 Israel Defense Forces can be seen in 1:35 satellite images uploaded by iMat 1:37

out by the Iranian backed 2:01 organization against Israel an 2:03 investigation by the Israeli Air Force 2:05 revealed that a drone manufactured in 2:07 Iran and launched by the houthis in 2:09 Yemen traveled approximately 2200 kilm 2:12 to reach Israel the houthis were held 2:15 responsible for the 2:16 launch the modified Sid 3 drone 2:19 manufactured in Iran may have followed a 2:21 non-direct flight path which may have 2:23 contributed to it not being classified 2:25 as a threat the Drone crashed into a 2:28 residential building in Tel Aviv killing 2:30 an Israeli 2:31 inside the Drone traveled from Yemen to 2:34 arria through the Red Sea and westwards 2:37 passing over Sudan and Egypt before 2:40 reaching the Mediterranean Sea it then 2:42 traveled westwards towards Tel Aviv 2:46

several minutes 2:58 the Drone was moving at at a speed of 80 3:00 to 100 knots equivalent to 148 to 3:05 185 3:07 kmph the Israeli Air Force was not aware 3:10 of this capacity although it was aware 3:12 of the houthi 3:14 capacity the Israeli Air Force had 3:16 sufficient time to intercept the target 3:19 if it had been detected in the first 3:20 place this awareness stemmed from 3:22 research showing that the iaf could use 3:25 fighter jets and air defense systems in 3:27 combat however the target was not not 3:30 classified as a threat but rather had an 3:32 impact on Tel Aviv due to a human error 3:34 made by The Operators of the air traffic 3:36 control system during the attack the 3:39 Israeli Air Force iaf increased the 3:41 number of operators responsible for 3:43 analyzing radar systems to ensure that 3:46 targets were not missed and were 3:48 properly classified in addition the iaf 3:51 expanded its air patrols especially in 3:53 the Mediterranean area in order to 3:55 improve the detection of potential new 3:58 threats the Israeli Air Force iaf has 4:01 uncovered video evidence of an attack on 4:03 the houthi held Port of Hoda in Western 4:05 Yemen as revenge for a drone attack on 4:07 Tel Aviv the footage shows four large 4:10 container cranes being hit by missiles 4:12 fired by Israeli Air Force jets during 4:16 the operation the Israeli Air Force 4:17

including the port 4:40 of Hoda which is used to deliver 4:42 humanitarian Aid to the country all 4:45 strikes were directed exclusively 4:47 against houthi military infrastructure 4:49 the Israeli Air Force iaf believes that 4:52 this attack will demonstrate to Israel's 4:54 enemies especially Lebanese Hezbollah 4:56 that Israel can Target civil military 4:58 infrastructure that plays a dual role 5:00 and respond disproportionately to acts 5:02 of aggression the Iranian Air Force iaf 5:06 believes that not only the houthis but 5:08 also other Iranian backed groups in the 5:10 region such as Hezbollah in Syria Iraq 5:13 and Lebanon will increase the number of 5:15 attacks they carry out following 5:17 Friday's houthi drone attack on Tel Aviv 5:20 the Israeli Air Force iaf concluded that 5:23 the Iranian backed organization in Yemen 5:25 will continue to carry out attacks 5:27 against Israel regardless of Israel's 5:29 response 5:30 with the exception of the attack on Tel 5:32

9:24 unpredictable consequences of The 9:26 Adventurous attacks on Yemen the Israeli 9:29 attack on Hoda has caused significant 9:31 repercussions in the international 9:33 political system as it

9:45 escalating into a wider conflict in the 9:47 region due to Iran's support for the 9:50 houthis Iran warned that a regional 9:52 conflict could erupt if the Israeli 9:54 attacks continued in the same manner the 9:57 Iranian government has made it clear 9:59 that will continue to support its allies 10:01 in the region and will not tolerate such 10:03 Israeli attacks the Israeli attack on 10:06 Hoda led directly to increase tensions 10:08 between Iran and Israel which resulted 10:10 in a positive 10:11 development many International 10:13 organizations including the United 10:15 Nations are concerned about the 10:17 escalation of conflicts in the region 10:20 and are calling on all parties concerned 10:22 to exercise common sense as a result 10:25 Global oil supplies and trade routes 10:27 could be adversely affected the attack 10:30 on the port of Hoda had a significant 10:33 impact on the economies of the regions 10:35 close to the port as a result there has 10:38 been a significant decline in the houthi 10:40 economic position potentially reducing 10:42 the level of hostility displayed by the 10:44 houthis but at the same time 10:47 exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in 10:49 Yemen the attack on the port of Hoda has 10:52 important geostrategic implications as 10:55 Israel is trying to protect itself and 10:58 send a strong message of deterrence to 11:00 those who work against it while these 11:02 Israeli operations have the potential to 11:04 provide an important deterrent against 11:06 Iran and its supporters they could also 11:09 open up new areas of instability in the 11:11 region as a result of Israel's attacks a 11:14 change in the distribution of power in 11:16 the region is taking place such actions 11:19 can be interpreted as a part of broader 11:21 efforts to reduce Iran's influence in 11:23 the 11:24 region the Israeli attack on the port of 11:27 Hoda has had significant consequences on 11:30 the geopolitical military geoeconomic 11:33 psychological geostrategic diplomatic 11:36 socioeconomic and sociopsychological 11:39 Dynamics in the region the devastation 11:42 of the port area could exacerbate the 11:45 humanitarian crisis in Yemen and make it 11:47 more difficult for Relief supplies to 11:49 reach the region it could also further 11:52 complicate the living conditions of citizens the ongoing attacks have led to a complete cessation of economic activity in the houthi controlled areas further 12:02 complicating the general economic situation of the population and exacerbating in stability in the region the Israeli operation has the potential to demoralize the houthis and increase the motivation of the houthis and other Iranian backed forces to retaliate 12:18 against Israel the attack could also 12:21 affect domestic social dynamics leading 12:23 to heightened public security concerns 12:26 which could exacerbate existing social 12:28 unrest in the region 12:30 the security of the entire region and 12:32 the world is at risk due to Israel's 12:34 ability to carry out such attacks which 12:36 could upset the security balance in the 12:38 region and change Global Security 12:41 Dynamics Israel's actions could 12:43 potentially affect other battlefields in 12:45 the region and the current security 12:47 situation could be further complicated 12:50 if the houthis and other Iranian backed 12:52 organizations threaten 12:54 retaliation Israel's attacks could also 12:56 affect security cooperation with 12:58 Israel's friends in the region leading 13:00 to a realignment of security 13:03 Dynamics the development of hostilities 13:05 between Iran and Israel has the 13:07 potential to complicate the Global 13:09 Security situation due to the 13:11 involvement of both sides in the 13:13 conflict the United Nations and other 13:15 International organizations urge all 13:17 parties concerned to exercise patience 13:20 as recent events are cause for concern 13:22 in conclusion the Israeli attack on the 13:25 port of Hoda has significant 13:27 implications on the geopol political 13:29 military geoeconomic psychological 13:33 geostrategic diplomatic socioeconomic 13:36 and sociopsychological Dynamics in the 13:39 region as a result of this attack the power dynamics in the region are reshaped Israel's defense capabilities are increased and possible threats are prevented
