Washington fears “after Ma’rib”: stop the attack “quickly”!

Washington entered the line of military operations carried out by the Yemeni army and popular committees in the Ma’rib governorate, intensifying its threatening tone towards Sana’a, as the US State Department called it, in a statement, to “quickly stop the attack on Marib”, citing, in its convocation, the presence of around one million displaced people in the city. These statements coincide with the approach of the Sanaa forces to reach the oil fields in the governorate, after they took control of the Safer International Line and approached the Al-Ruwaik strategic camp, where the forces are present. Saudis. Faced with this situation, oil sources are threatened with collapse or under fire from the army and committees, which in practice leads to the following:

1- Shake the strategic bases of the pressure process on the “Ansar Allah” movement, putting an end to the effectiveness of one of the most important economic tools that was used to twist the arm of Sana’a.
2- It is proven that Saudi Arabia (the agent of aggression of the United States against Yemen) has reached zero point, which practically means the end of the military option as a tool to achieve the objectives set for the war, although the indications of this have become of the past.
In this regard, questions arise about whether Washington will rush to intervene directly after the statement from the US State Department, or withdraw and make concessions within a specific agreement. Until the next US elections in November, both options seem unlikely, and instead Washington will apparently work to favor an intermediate option, using the policy of “carrot and stick”, that is, the threat of an intervention. direct military against Sana’a, and at the same time. Trying to attract her to economic concessions. This is what the call by the US State Department the day before yesterday suggested to the Yemeni parties to approve the proposals of the UN envoy to Yemen, Martin Griffiths, which include economic, humanitarian measures and political promises. Sana’a’s leadership had rejected these proposals when they were presented to it nearly three months ago, due to a lack of guarantees and its reliance on Saudi Arabia’s alleged “good intentions”, which cannot be trusted, especially since Sana ‘a experienced Riyadh’s failure to honor similar commitments in the past. On the other hand, Ansar Allah proposed an initiative that includes political, economic and humanitarian provisions in exchange for stopping the attack on Marib. On the eve of the anniversary of the “September 21 Revolution”, the head of the Supreme Political Council, Mahdi Al-Mashat, urged interested regional and international parties to accept this initiative, while several sources cited in the last hours that the Kuwaiti mediation is working in that direction.

Washington may resort to a middle way between intervention and withdrawal

Returning to the American position, the concern of the current administration for the elections leads it to avoid opening the file of the war in Yemen, in the presence of a spirit that refuses to continue participating in this war, and the fragility of the argument ” Trump “about it; The administration justifies, according to a “New York Times” report, that it continues to support Saudi Arabia in the Yemen war by reducing the number of civilian casualties. However, State Department investigators and other US officials believe these efforts are flawed, especially as they have failed to protect children, women and adults. Old and other civilian bombs made in America. Therefore, the logic of the administration seems weak and, if proposed, would form a strong collision point in the election season. This deficiency in US justifications in recent years forced the State Department to release new justifications that did not exist in the past, stating that “cooperation with Saudi Arabia protects US forces from Iranian-backed Houthis,” noting that Washington does not officially recognize the presence of its forces in Yemen. It’s worth noting here that a lot of lawmakers from both parties (Republican and Democratic), including Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, stand in the way of American involvement in the Yemen war. And those who are embroiled in a legal fight in Congress to stop that participation consider that their country has been stained with blood on its hands as a result of its drowning in the Yemeni swamp.
The United States was not, at any stage of the war, far from its field and political realities, beginning with its announcement from Washington, going through its royal management and accompanying it operationally, providing the Saudi and Emirati armies with the intelligence elements necessary for the military operations and providing information rooms with direct satellite images, to conclude weapons agreements appropriate to the nature of Yemeni territory and capable of attacking military formations and popular committees. However, Western participation is not limited to the American side. Numerous reports, as well as confessions from British officials, revealed that their country participated in 6,300 experts, claiming that they work for British companies working in technical specializations in airports and Saudi military operations rooms.
