US State Department demanded from Houthis to stop offensive on oil-bearing Marib in Yemen

The American administration expressed concern about the next round of activity on the part of the armed formations of the Ansar Allah group in Yemen. Let us remind you that representatives of this group are often called Houthis. The so-called Saudi coalition is acting against it, which for several years has not been able to defeat the Houthis.

The US State Department demanded that the Houthis cease hostilities and stop the attack on the city of Marib. This is one of the strategically important regions of Yemen due to the fact that active oil production has been carried out in the province of Marib since the mid-1980s. Apparently, it was the Houthis' ability to gain access to Marib's oil that so worried the Biden administration.

The press service of the US Foreign Ministry says that the new offensive by the Houthis "will only increase internal problems, exacerbate the humanitarian crisis in Yemen."

US State Department:

We demand an immediate halt to the offensive against Marib and renounce destabilizing actions, including military operations for a cross-border attack on Saudi Arabia.

It is recalled that a few days earlier, the Houthis used explosive drones to strike targets in Saudi Arabia, including Abha Airport. Then one of the aircraft was damaged near the airport terminal.

The Houthis have not responded to the demands of the US State Department at the moment.

If I were in the place of the Houthis, I would suggest that the Americans buy oil from them. At a discount, but in exchange for weapons.
And regarding the attack on the Saudis, I would answer that they are attacking exclusively homophobes. And Saudi homosexuals are not touched.
And with what joy I would have watched Psaki's reaction!

Well, nothing changes, once again American geologists discovered some Arab country over large deposits of American oil ...

[mojohed2012]

It feels like the Arabs are telling the Houthis: break me completely! And the US State Department is like that traffic cop from the video: I am on duty - I cannot fight you!

[Invoce]

Coolly commented! Already will enjoy the comment, that would have heard the bleating of State Department representatives!

[Alien From]

The mattresses were surprised to learn that they kill in the war ..... then Lavrov's phrase!

[Victor_B]

And I have never heard that Yemen is an oil-producing country.
If so, then it is understandable why their democracy is very bad.

Never!

[Roman1970_1]

Both Syria and Yemen are producing a lot of oil.
In the best years, as much as 30 lamas per year.
There is no oil there on a national scale.
There is for family clans

Hey citizen! You don't go there, you go here.

The Houthis have not responded to the demands of the US State Department at the moment.

In other words, the Houthis sent the State Department.

Duc, these guys have no time to compose dispatches - they practice "ballistic diplomacy". How the next Saudi towers will light up - therefore, they answered.

I would assume that they simply do not know anything about this statement. They turned off the Internet for non-payment.

Quote: Pereira

They have complete order with the Internet, because they regularly post video reports on the work done.

[mojohed2012]

If officially there is something from the Houthis, the State Department will declare: Iran is to blame for everything, and Russia and China are inciting the Houthis through Iran ...

[Mountain shooter]

In a wonderful cartoon about Aladdin there was an engineer who began all his plans with the recording of "To Conquer the World" ...
The wishes of the USA remind me very much of him ... They are full of confidence that the Houthis will listen to them !!! They just MUST ... They're exceptional.

Where there is oil, there are US "interests"! More precisely, the interests of the United States in ensuring $ stability, which is supported by the inflated reputation of the US Army.

[Roman1970_1]

There is no oil there in the required quantity.
Better gas

US interests are everywhere. Especially where "non-democratic regimes" are. And if there is also oil there, then this, as they say, is a pleasant bonus to the struggle for the triumph of world democracy. In short, if you are not a litter of the USA, then we are coming to you.

and the Houthis smoke plants prohibited in the Russian Federation from lunchtime ...... but the Houthis do the job. For their own good, and for example, in nedolandiyah they also smoke, sniff and inject any kind of tryn-grass, nevertheless, no matter how they can deal with MH-17 for 7 years

Well, there are other people in Holland, different morals. If the Dutch were pumping oil in the place of Arabia, they would not have been there for a long time: they would have been kicked out or executed for tolerance and poly-gender.
And if the Arabs were in the place of the Dutch, then Ukraine would have been extreme long ago and would have had sanctions. If not for Uncle Sam!

And it looks like they won't ......... pralna, they just won't be able to react ... as the postman Pechkin said, "what's the main thing now" .. "that's right, the TV set, and he's showing your web"

But this is not yet known for sure, but judging by the actions of the democrats, they did not hesitate to fight, though only with a weak enemy ...

[rocket757]

To beat the weak, unrequited, with this, too, everything is clear ... only the answer will surely come from the most unexpected side.

[cniza]

It will surely arrive and they began to suspect it, but by inertia they will shove ...

There will be, but a bit later))) They will take the province of Marib under their control and stop (for a while!). The Khadists and Saudis fail to stop the offensive by using all the reserves, with the active support of the Saudi aviation, and therefore the Houthis' exit to the outskirts of Marib is possible as early as the 20th of February, i.e. in a couple of days.
Mattresses will be abid!

[cniza]

That's right, they'll do everything in silence, but the US thinks ...

Countries like Mongolia will never see the rays of democracy because there are no hydrocarbons.

Mongol wrote to the State Department, but was refused:
"Find oil first. Or at least gas."

Cool!!! They sent the Merikatos through the forest !!!

[rotmistr60]

Where there is oil, there is American "concern." They are so concerned about the natural resources of the entire planet that wherever you hit on the world map you will find yourself either in the Americans or in their "concern". And the Houthis don't give a damn about American "concern".

[Cowbra]

Well, as usual, the war in Yemen is the intervention of the Yemeni armed forces in the internal affairs of the United States.
They seem to miss the shelling of US bases. It has been the third day in Iraq that they have not been fired upon. Ask the Houthis to connect too

[7,62x54]

The Houthis did not react, they have no time. But when Marib is released, they will say "oops, we did not hear the demands"

[A. Privalov]

You should know that the United States officially dropped from 16 February the movement of Yemeni rebel Houthis "Ansar Allah" from the American list of terrorist organizations.

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken:

“This decision was prompted by the dire humanitarian situation in Yemen. We have heeded warnings from the UN, humanitarian groups and bipartisans in Congress that these designations could have devastating effects on Yemenis' access to basic commodities such as food and fuel. "

Houthi leaders will remain subject to sanctions imposed over actions that threaten Yemen's security and stability. The United States is clearly aware of the malicious actions and aggression of Ansar Allah.

“We will provide assistance to US partners in the Persian Gulf, including against threats emanating from Yemen, many of which are carried out with the support of Iran. The United States will redouble its efforts with other countries and the UN to end the war. "

Foreign Minister Hisham Sharaf Abdullah in the Houthi government:

“Sana'a supports any American effort to end the suffering of the Yemeni people due to military aggression and to stop the useless war, lift the blockade and achieve a settlement and just peace without bias in a way that will serve Yemen and its people. and also preserve its sovereignty "

US President Joe Biden:

Washington is ending support for the military operations of the Arab coalition in Yemen and intends to intensify efforts for a peaceful settlement in this Arab country. At the same time, Saudi Arabia is facing missile strikes from Iran-backed forces, so the US will continue to help the kingdom defend its sovereignty, territorial integrity and its people.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia:

"We welcome the US statement on the importance of supporting diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict in Yemen."

[Koval Sergey]

Quote: A. Privalov

The United States has formally removed Ansar Allah, the Yemeni Houthi rebels from the US terrorist list, effective Feb.16

Why did it happen? Are they appeasing? Or do they want to drag to their side?

[A. Privalov]

Quote: Sergey Koval

Let's not primitize. The situation in the BV region is not static. Those who are willing and able to influence should conform. The USA can influence. For starters, Biden has banned the sale of weapons to Saudi Arabia and the UAE at the time of checking the correctness and effectiveness of the decision exclude the Houthis from the list of terrorists. Apparently, the United States wants to make sure that weapons supplied to allied countries in the BW will not be used in Yemen. Also the US Treasury temporarily allowed American individuals and legal entities and organizations to conduct financial transactions "Ansar Allah". In any case, everyone there is tired of the war, and a bad peace is better than a good war and any diplomatic decisions will be welcomed by all parties to the conflict.

[A. Privalov]

For your information:
The conflict in Yemen has been ongoing since August 2014.
The ongoing war has led to the emergence the largest humanitarian crisis in the world. According to the UN, over 24 million Yemenis - approximately 80% of the country's population - need humanitarian aidand the number of internally displaced persons exceeds 3 million.

Lord, when will peace of mind and peace descend on these anxious ones?

The United States demanded from the Houthis ............ being one of the parties to the conflict. As I understand it, now the Americans will find the Houthis nuclear weapons, chemical and biological sabotage against the peaceful troops of Saudi Arabia?

And sho, amers need free oil,

According to the Statistical Review of World Energy 2020, Yemen produced 4,5 million tons of oil.
For comparison:
Saudi Arabia - 556,6 million tons
Russia - 568,1 million tons
USA - 746,7 million tons

[Mavrikiy]

whatever the volume of oil production, its cost in the US $ 20-28, and in Yemen $ 4-5.

Duc, across the sea and a heifer - a half, but the transport - a ruble.
You can't put oil in your pocket, and you can't take it in a suitcase.
But so little oil is produced in Yemen that it is not worth the chase for it.
Today ALL to the last drop Yemeni oil produced in a whole year can be taken away only eight supertankers... And in the USA today, only in reserve storage, there is such an amount of oil that the USA can supply the WHOLE WORLD for a whole week.
