All Silent Dossier reporting and analysis on Faisal bin Farhan, newest first.
Iran’s foreign minister called Riyadh offering to broker talks with “Yemen” after Houthi missiles killed 13 at Riyadh’s airport. The offer would recognise the Houthis as a state, admit Tehran’s control and lock in their gains. Saudi Arabia refused, rightly, and should keep fighting.
Araghchi told Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister Iran would help start talks with the Houthis. A day later Gargash called for joint Gulf defence. What each side said.
Prince Faisal bin Farhan’s second US trip in days follows Houthi missiles on Riyadh, an Iranian ‘mediation’ offer and a hidden Iranian strike on US Marines. Washington will not fight before the midterms, and Riyadh is preparing for the battle anyway.
