WSJ EB: Another U.S. Embarrassment in Yemen
wsj.com/articles/anoth… Since Houthis were removed from the FTO list, they launched 50 IBMs & 255 drones on districts in Yemen & Saudi Arabia up until mid Oct 21. That’s 12.69% of total ballistic missiles, and 33.78% of the total number of drones launched since Jan 2015.

THREAD @KingSalman at emergency #Mecca Summit: The Iranian regime’s interference in the internal affairs of the countries of the region, development of nuclear & missile programs, and its threats to freedom of international shipping, is a threat to the security of the world. “We call on the international community to shoulder its responsibilities regarding threats posed by Iran...and to use all means to stop the regime from interfering in the internal affairs of other countries. And its sponsorship of terrorist activities in the region.”

Just watched #KingdomofSecrets by @FareedZakaria on @CNN. A collection of out of context half truths & old, tired stereotypes put into dramatical sequence. Really hoped it would reflect an accurate picture of what is going on in #KSA & dynamics behind it. Really disappointing. Saudis are tired of the shallow understanding of their society & history that was embodied by this @CNN documentary. Using punchlines & soundbites to gloss over massively complex issues does not reflect an accurate picture at all. Shallow & sensational.
