They are protecting the mountain. Making sure no one trespasses on their property. Theres something bigger. The contest between iran and saudi arabia assuming that what is happening across the border and is making a contribution in the words in syria and iraq. And it is upping the tension across the area. A month of airstrikes has eight the rivalry sharper. Societies say they are stopping now because they have achieved their military objectives. The airstrikes have been huge and the deaths of civilians of strength in the determination of the Houthi Rebels to fight on. This man is cursing saudi arabias new king. I swear to god we will get our revenge he says. Even the holy site at mecca is not worth one muslim life. These are government supporters of fighting houthis and yemens the third city. They have not achieved their goal, of crushing the houthi rebellion. They may not be looking for a ceasefire.

Jeremy you dont think they are being positive . No. Jeremy the capital rivalry remains stark. As the prince, a former saudi intelligence chief, and an ambassador to london told me, it is not just about religion. There is a political factor driving the secretary an issue.

Katty i spoke a short time ago with Washington Post columnist david ignatius. The saudis are saying this was a military success. Three weeks ago they wanted the surrender of the Houthi Rebels. It doesnt look like much of a success. David it doesnt look like a victory. They will argue they have more opportunity to push for a political settlement. The announcement was a transition. It is good news for the white house. A few hours before the announcement i talked to officials who expressed genuine concern the saudis were pushing the military side of this ending during the fact that the only way to resolve that was not victory on the battlefield but a political process. The relief in washington that the saudis have decided the same thing. Katty what do you think detroit the saudis . They were weighing the opportunity of Ground Troops. David there was a fear in the kingdom that the saudis were being run into a quagmire in yemen. Yemen is a place famously where Ground Troops are bogged down and Political Solutions are difficult to achieve by force. If the saudis begin they have leverage, they are splitting some of the tribes toward them and the government. They have a new Vice President they think can be a rallying figure. This is aside the u. S. Is initially standing by saudi arabia and gave them enough confidence to go for that no further. They continued on, and ive heard talk that if they continued in the fighting direction they wouldve had a d eeper crisis. Katty what about where this has left relations between saudi arabia and iran . David they are in a much sharper state of conflict, but the view of the white house is that the saudis are pushing back. They have sided with the iranian proxies taking control in human. In yemen. They had to draw a line. The white house feeling is that the saudis need to stand up for their own security. They did so. The fear was they would go too far. There is a relief they did not go further. David it sounds like you are saying this is not the military victory they are calling it, but it is not a defeat for the regional superpower. David the situation in yemen is on track to bull. The saudis are working in secret 24 7 with the tribes trying to pull them their way. Trying to get enough of a constituency to begin to negotiate. The houthis are elusive. Theyre backed by iran. They are an unmanageable force in the north. The saudis do not know what to do with them. On many different fronts, secret contacts, open political dialogue, the saudis will the saudis will try to find the pieces were coalition. Katty thank you for coming in.
