Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah noted Monday that Saudi Arabia will suffer a “major defeat” in the Yemeni conflict, as he stressed that “the war on Syria” has failed.
“Saudi Arabia will suffer a major defeat that will have an impact on its domestic situation and the entire region,” said Nasrallah in an interview on Syria's state-run al-Ikhbariya news channel.
He noted that the Saudi-led airstrikes have “miserably failed” to change the situation on the ground in Yemen, pointing out that the Shiite Huthi rebels and their allies are still advancing.
“The Yemenis were going to turn their country into a state qualified for being alongside the resistance movements in the region,” said Nasrallah, referring to the Huthis' lightning power grab that preceded the Saudi-led intervention.
“The Yemeni people support the Palestinian cause and they were interacting with what's going on in Lebanon, Palestine and Syria.Today, there is a Saudi-American aggression against Yemen,” he added.
