The Saudis will certainly suffer losses and will in no way achieve victory, He said.

It is while Saudis have invaded Yemen which is a big country with a huge population.

Describing Yemen as a country with an ancient civilization, the Leader called on the Saudis to stop catastrophic crimes against the innocent civilians.
