All Silent Dossier reporting and analysis on Taiz, newest first.
Houthi missiles killed 12 at Riyadh’s airport after five Saudi assumptions about Yemen collapsed. The bigger mistake is the Houthis’: Saudi Arabia will not fold, and it can break them without taking Sanaa.
A Houthi missile killed 12 people and wounded 309 at King Khalid International Airport. The strike exposed Saudi Arabia’s thin air defences. Riyadh should open talks now to buy time, then use that time to rebuild its shield, hunt Iran’s advisers near Taiz and empty Houthi arsenals.
A Houthi missile killed 12 people and wounded 309 at King Khalid International Airport. This is terrorism against civilians and Iran’s war moved onto Saudi soil. It will get worse, and in wartime the only place to stand is with Saudi Arabia.
Houthi missiles have moved from Saudi oil sites to Saudi airports, and now they are killing people. Saudi jets are emptying the group’s ballistic-missile caves, Yemen’s government is massing for Mokha, and Riyadh has no choice left but to finish the Houthis.
The Houthis have frozen Yemen’s Mokha front and turned missiles on Saudi airports. Trump offered Riyadh everything except bombs, so Saudi Arabia is building the coalition, with Pakistan and Türkiye, that will finish the war without him.
Saudi-backed forces have retaken ground on Yemen’s Red Sea coast, but the war will be settled at Taiz and by how long Saudi Arabia can absorb Houthi missiles. Patriot stocks, the economy and the Mecca Pact set the endgame.
Saudi Arabia has formally joined Yemen’s war with 100 fighter jets behind Operation Dawn of Yemen. The Houthis overreached at Taiz for Iran’s agenda, are losing Bab el-Mandeb and Mokha, and cannot recover.
