Yemen After the September 21 Revolution: A Nation Advancing Through Transformation as U.S.–Saudi Tutelage Attempts a Hostile Comeback

A decade after the historic emancipation brought forth by Yemen’s September 21 Revolution, which liberated the national decision-making process from the grip of U.S.–Saudi tutelage, the country now stands before a dangerous regional landscape attempting to reimpose dominance in an even more brazen form: trillion-dollar deals, an expanded normalization race, direct American directives to Gulf proxies, and a fresh Saudi push toward Washington to receive “assigned roles” within a broader project targeting the region and the Resistance Axis.

In contrast to this renewed imperial trajectory, Yemen appears at one of the strongest moments in its modern history: an internally fortified front rooted in the revolution’s faith-based liberation identity, steadily advancing military capabilities proven in the “Support Gaza” operations, and a clear warning from the Leader of the Revolution to regimes contemplating the reopening of the aggression—chief among them Saudi Arabia, which now stands before a stark binary:

Either detach itself from the U.S.–Israeli project…
or become entangled in a catastrophic venture with unprecedented consequences.

This report presents a comprehensive overview of the emerging scene: Bin Salman’s visit to Washington, the opaque deals, the accelerating American role, the mapped regional schemes, Yemen’s position in the equation, the revolutionary warning, and the expanding deterrence formula reshaping calculations.

Background of Bin Salman’s Visit: Returning to Washington to Receive “Assignments”

The Saudi Crown Prince’s visit to the United States was far from a routine diplomatic trip.

Eight years of tension and estrangement suddenly ended with an “exceptional” official reception at the White House—an event that resembled a political enthronement of a man Washington now views as an indispensable central tool in its regional strategy.

The trip coincided with one of the most dangerous U.N. developments in recent years:
Security Council Resolution 2803, which legitimized direct international trusteeship over Gaza, thrusting the U.N. back into the machinery of global dominance under U.S.–Israeli pressure, with participation from several Arab states, notably Qatar, the UAE, Turkey, and Pakistan.

In this context, Bin Salman’s visit became a natural extension of Washington’s expanding influence-mapping agenda, which now seeks new “executive instruments.”

Why Now? What Does Washington Want From Saudi Arabia?

The United States expects the Saudi leadership to:

Fully engage in the “Abraham Accords” project

Take an active role in pressuring Lebanon and Syria

Participate in upcoming confrontation scenarios with Iran, Yemen, and the Resistance Axis

Funnel Saudi wealth into revitalizing the U.S. economy

Support Trump’s “Peace Council” project designed to impose full trusteeship over the Palestinian issue

And in return, Bin Salman seeks:

Reinforcement of his domestic and international legitimacy

Access to F-35 aircraft and a civilian nuclear reactor

U.S. security guarantees

A consolidated regional role as the Gulf’s primary pillar

But all this was merely the façade of a much larger—and far more dangerous—deal.

The Trillion-Dollar Deals: Saudi Wealth Becomes an Open American Treasury

Saudi Arabia raised its investment commitments in the United States from $600 billion to $1 trillion, marking the largest economic drain of Arab wealth in decades.

These funds are not ordinary investments—they constitute the core of a “new contract” between Washington and Riyadh:

Saudi Arabia purchases American support and silence…
While the United States sells illusions of strength in exchange for endless money.

This move was accompanied by:

Massive arms deals

A restricted pathway toward acquiring F-35 jets

Contracts to purchase 300 tanks

Upgrading defensive systems designed to keep Israel superior

Joint economic ventures tied directly to Trump family interests

This is not a political rapprochement—it is full economic and military subordination.

Normalization: A Calculated Step in the American Control Strategy

Washington made no effort to conceal that normalization stands at the top of its agenda.

The U.S. aims to drag:

Saudi Arabia

Lebanon

Syria

into the normalization track, leveraging economic pressures and regional volatility.

It also seeks to build a new coalition led by Saudi Arabia, with the mission of confronting:

Iran

Ansar Allah (Yemen)

Hezbollah

Iraqi and Syrian resistance factions

All liberation movements in the region

Thus, Bin Salman’s visit was not about “support”—it was about receiving orders.

Yemen: The Central Obstacle to the U.S.–Saudi Regional Scheme

At the heart of all these maneuvers stands Yemen—the largest impediment to the attempted reengineering of the region.
