Mokhber: war with Yemen is merely fratricide and financial loss for Saudi Arabia

What happened: Mohseni Moghadam, an adviser and aide to Iran’s Supreme Leader, said Saudi Arabia’s large-scale attacks on Yemen are a mistaken course that amounts to fratricide and a waste of Saudi lives and resources. Source and context: Mohseni Moghadam made the comments in remarks carried by Mehr (Telegram). Key claims and statements: • He argued that weapons should be aimed at what he called “the foremost enemy of the Muslim world” (the regime he named) rather than at Yemeni people he described as devout and resistant. • He warned Riyadh that by pursuing the current policy it is “playing on Trump’s field” and urged learning a lesson from trusting the Americans, saying history shows the United States sacrifices its allies. • He explicitly stated, “War with Yemen is nothing but fratricide and the auctioning off of Saudi lives and property.” Uncertainties and attributions: All assertions, characterizations and strategic judgments are attributed to Mohseni Moghadam as reported by Mehr (Telegram); they are presented here without independent verification.
