"Campaign on Saudi borders has no military goal. Arab Coalition [in Yemen] will continue until the militias working against legitimacy [of the internationally recognized government of President Abdrabbu Mansour Hadi] end in Yemen," Asiri was quoted as saying by the Al Arabiya news channel.
He accused the Yemeni Houthi Shia rebels of violations of the Saudi border, adding that the kingdom would not accept any border violations. Asiri also called on the international community to "determine the fate" of peace talks between the warring sides in Yemen.
Since 2014, Yemen has been engulfed in a military conflict between the government headed by Hadi and the Ansar Allah movement, also known as the Houthis, which is the country's main opposition force. The Houthis are backed by army units loyal to former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
Since March 2015, the Saudi-led coalition of mostly Persian Gulf countries have been carrying out airstrikes against the Houthis at Hadi's request despite a ceasefire agreed in April.
Would the world shed a tear if Iran and Hezbollah were to roll into Riyadh with guns blazing? Not the Muslim world because the al Saud family has proven itself to be an enemy of the truth. If any country or people have the right to be care-takers of Mecca it is Iran.
Here's a thought; drive out every al Saud into the desert and replace them with the Bedouin, the Houthis and all Palestinians who have been rendered homeless through the machinations of the al Saud family and their western supporters. Mecca is not just for Shia or Sunni but for every Muslim and by removing the al Saud family and their Wahhabi beliefs the differences in Islam might just be healed.
