The Great Middle East War has just entered a very dangerous new chapter. 100,000 troops under the control of the internationally-recognized government of Yemen are going to attempt to end the Houthi threat once and for all. Saudi Arabia will be assisting by conducting constant airstrikes on Houthi positions. In other words, all-out war is coming to the Arabian Peninsula. The United States will be providing intelligence and targeting data for this operation, but officials are telling us that the U.S. military will not be directly involved at this time. However, Axios is reporting that the U.S. could join the operation at a later date "should it go south".

What this means is that there isn't going to be an end to the Great Middle East war for a long time to come.

One of Iran's core demands has always been an end to the fighting on all fronts.

Needless to say, what we are witnessing is the opposite of that.

Even in the most wildly optimistic scenario, it would take months to totally defeat the Houthis.

In a televised speech, Yemeni President Rashad al-Alimi announced that this new military operation will continue "until the country is liberated from the grip of ‌the terrorist militia"…

Yemen's Saudi-backed, internationally recognised government said on Sunday it was launching a major ?military campaign to recapture all areas of the country controlled by the Iran-backed Houthis.

The government's armed forces would press the offensive "until the country is liberated from the grip of ‌the terrorist militia," Yemeni President Rashad al-Alimi said in a televised address. A military spokesman later called on the Houthis to lay down their weapons.

The Houthis are crazed religious zealots.

They will never, ever lay down their weapons.

So there will be no surrender.

The Houthis will fight until they are either wiped out or they are victorious.

It appears that this will be the biggest conflict in the entire modern history of Yemen.
