While efforts of ceasefire brokered by Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan to end US-Iran war have not yet yield its fruits of reaching any agreement for reopening the Hormuz Strait through which 15 percent of world trade crossing through it and as a key outlet for power supply to Europe and the United States coming from Gulf Countries.

Last Thursday, foreign ministers of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan held meeting in Riyadh to find a diplomatic solution for ending US- Iran war. 

But these parties have not reached any progress. According to UAE-based Sky News Arabia TV Channel, Arab sources participated in the talks said that the four ministers found a problem in finding a party representing Iran in the talks.

US President Donald Trump said Washington was holding discussions with Tehran and suggested a broader agreement could be reached, but Iranian officials rejected the claims, accusing the US of trying to buy time as it deploys more forces to the region, according to a Al-Jazeera website report on Tuesday.

Trump also ordered the US military to postpone planned strikes on Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for five days.

On Tuesday, Iran fired a new missile barrage at Israel, Gulf countries reported repeated drone and missile interceptions, and fighting intensified in Lebanon and Iraq.

Senior Arab observers and analysts believe that Iran has potentials to endure the war and even able to deter Israeli- US attacks and to force the United States and Israel to stop unilaterally.

Yaser al-Yemani, former Deputy Governor of Yemen’s Lahj Governorate during Ali Abdullah Saleh’s rule, and now a refugee in Switzerland, repeated in his daily posts on X platform that Iran is a great country and is able to defend its territories. He always posts videos on missile attacks against Israeli targets and against military sites in the gulf countries, especially attacks on the UAE.

Al-Yamani, who is loyal to Houthi terrorist militia in Yemen and several other Arab pro-Iran observers believed that it was the United States that stopped the previous 12-day war on June 2025 between Israel and Iran. They believe that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked US President Donald Trump to exert pressure on Iran to stop the war after huge destruction in Israel over heavy Iranian missile attacks, killing and injuring hundreds of Israeli soldiers and citizens and the attacks also forced many Jews to flee to their origin places from in Europe and other countries. 

Senior Palestinian analyst, who was Chief Editor of London-based Al-Quds Al-Arabi newspaper, Abdulbari Attwan believes that Iran has become a great nation and will defeat Israel in this war and that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will again ask Trump to intervene and exert pressure on Iran to stop this war.

He said on a post on his X platform on Tuesday 24 March that Trump has retreated in shame of carrying out his threat to destroy Iran.

“They wanted it a short war on Iran with swift recovery and Iran wanted it a regional attrition long warfare and has achieved great victory,” he said in his analysis on reasons of Trump’s retreat of carrying out his threat to destroy Iran.

But Syrian Analyst Ahmed Ramadhan, who is the Head of the National Work in Syria and the General Director of London Center for Strategic Studies believes that Trump is victorious in this war and has already defeated Iran two times; killing its first rank leaders and destroying 50 thousand military sites. 

“He (Trump) is now planning for the third (defeat),” said Ramadan. He explained that the war will be long and that Trump wants to achieve his objectives and doesn’t want negotiation, he wants to implement “Berlin Scenario; mass destruction.”  

The Yemeni people have different view in this war. During the eruption of the second US-Israeli war against Iran, Yemeni people have felt a sense of hope that this war will lead to beating Iran and eventually getting rid of Iran’s hand in Yemen, the Houthi Militia, which has held the capital Sana’a since September 2014. 

Joining Israeli-Iran war on June 2025, Houthi militia fired missile attacks on US and European ships crossing the Red Sea, endangering the security of the region and the international trade on the strategic Strait of Bab al-Mandab.

The militia imposed a new rule on the people under their control. Imitating Tehran’s regime, the militia imposed an iron-grip on the people, carrying out campaigns of illegal arrest and outlaw executions. 

Furthermore, the militia deepened humanitarian crisis of blackmailing and banning humanitarian agencies’ activities. Looting merchants and suffocating even small businessmen by regular collecting of funds under the War Effort pretext have complicated living conditions in Houthi-held areas.

Displaced people and refugees from Sana’a and other areas under Houthi control have seen a glimpse of hope that the rule of the militia will end as a result of this war and then will be able to return to their homes in Sana’a and other governorates.

Saif al-Hadheri, a journalist and former spokesperson of Vice President General Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar, urged the government to seize the opportunity and move towards Sana’a to regain it from Houthis, who are now under the focus of the regional war. 

Al-Hadheri, who is the Chief Editor and owner of the Daily Akhbar Al Youm newspaper, sees a historic chance in the US-Israeli war against Iran “at Sana’a doors” should be seized by the Internationally-Recognized Government to resume war against Houthi militia and liberate the capital Sana’a and other areas under the militia.

Al-Hadheri is a displaced person from his home in Sana’a currently living in Marib.  He called for international support to the government to help it regain the capital Sana’a and other areas as an urgent necessity for the security of the region and Gulf States.
