- 0:37hovering over Saudi's Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman
- 0:40They are shifting bunkers from one to another
- 0:43Because they don't know when and where the
- 0:45missile fell Imagine, if something happens to Saudi
- 0:48by mistake Then a war will start in
- 0:49the entire Muslim world After targeting the airport,
- 0:53Houthis are targeting a company Aramco Because of
- 0:57which the entire Saudi is shivering What
- 1:12is Aramco?

- 3:25description Chapter 1 Attacks on Saudi For the
- 3:32past few months, literally Houthi fighters have been
- 3:35destroying Saudi Arabia's oil fields, pipelines, airports, and
- 3:39civilian infrastructure one by one A Bloomberg report
- 3:44says that in the past month, Houthis have
- 3:46attacked Saudi Arabia's airports at least 20 times
- 3:49What is going on in Saudi and Yemen?
- 3:52Let's understand this chronology Let's start with March
- 3:542026 This year, Iran has targeted every country
- 3:58in the Middle East one by one This
- 4:01video is of Oman Iran's Shahed drones have
- 4:04destroyed Oman's Salah port facility Iran's drones have
- 4:07attacked Bahrain's water desalination plant Iran's drones have
- 4:11attacked Bahrain's water desalination plant From here, 88
- 4:14% of Bahrain's water comes in Even the
- 4:16UAE's airports are being attacked Iran has attacked
- 4:20many Gulf countries Gulf countries allow America to
- 4:24use their land to attack Iran To keep
- 4:27an eye on Iran This was Iran's claim
- 4:30Iran said that if Americans have made your
- 4:33land their military base, then we will destroy
- 4:36your infrastructure One by one, missiles were falling
- 4:40on every American ally except for one country,
- 4:44Saudi Arabia There were not many attacks on
- 4:47them And they started exporting their crude oil
- 4:49from the Red Sea through their pipelines instead
- 4:51of the Strait of Hormuz So, everything was
- 4:56going fine for them But in July 2026,
- 4:59the story took a new turn Some Houthi
- 5:01delegates went to Iran for Khamenei's funeral And
- 5:05returned on an Iranian plane Yemen's government and
- 5:08Saudi forces did not allow this plane to
- 5:10land They bombed the runway of Sanaa International
- 5:13Airport Something like this And because
- 5:23of this one step, Houthis broke the ceasefire
- 5:28made in 2022 Houthis declared that now no
- 5:31Saudi asset will be safe And they slowly
- 5:35increased the attacks On July 20, Houthis declared
- 5:38a naval blockade on Saudi Houthis control the
- 5:42Strait of Bab-el-Mandab Because of which
- 5:45the majority of the world's ships pass Because
- 5:47of this, Saudi's oil exports also slowed down
- 5:51And most importantly, the rest of the world's
- 5:53ships also started taking a long route from
- 5:57Africa So that there are no attacks on
- 6:00them On July 22, Houthis attacked Saudi's two
- 6:02oil tankers On July 24, Houthis attacked the
- 6:06Hodeidai port And people started saying that Houthis
- 6:10are planning a major on-ground offensive In
- 6:13the month of September, Houthis captured an island
- 6:16called Perim Which strengthened their hold on the
- 6:20Strait of Bab-el-Mandab Around 14 September,
- 6:22Houthis attacked Saudi's East-West oil pipeline Because
- 6:25of which Saudi had to close this pipeline
- 6:27And from October, Houthis have started attacking critical
- 6:30infrastructure From October 1, Houthis started attacking Saudi's
- 6:35airports On October 5, King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz
- 6:40of Jazan was attacked at the International Airport
- 6:42On October 6, missiles fell on Abha International
- 6:44Airport On October 7 and 8, King Khalid
- 6:49International Airport of Riyadh was also attacked On
- 6:51October 10, attacks were again on Riyadh Airport
- 6:54In this, an airplane of Saudi Airlines was
- 6:58also destroyed On October 11, attacks were also
- 7:00on Damam's King Fahd International Airport In retaliation
- 7:05for this, Saudi-backed Yemen forces attacked an
- 7:07oil field in Yemen's capital Sana In retaliation
- 7:11for this attack, Houthis warned that Saudi's oil
- 7:15infrastructure is no longer safe Attacks were made
- 7:18on Saudi Arabia's headquarters After that, missiles fell
- 7:21on Ghawar Oil Field Ghawar Oil Field is
- 7:25the world's largest oil field We will talk
- 7:28about it in Chapter 2 And the worst
- 7:31part is that many questions are being raised
- 7:33on Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabia is the world's
- 7:35largest arms importer It buys many military equipment
- 7:39from the USA Patriot Missiles, Interceptors, Missile Warning
- 7:42Systems But still, there were so many attacks
- 7:44on their critical infrastructure Riyadh International Airport is
- 7:48a big infrastructure So during such a conflict,
- 7:52there was no missile warning system Or any
- 7:55interceptors that could intercept these missiles If you
- 7:58watch the videos of these attacks, then you
- 8:01will see that people were sitting in one
- 8:02place They were sitting ducks People were sitting
- 8:06there, they were on their phones when the
- 8:08missile just randomly struck Or they were going
- 8:11through security lines and the missile struck If
- 8:14there was a warning system here, then these
- 8:16people could have been evacuated But nothing like
- 8:18that happened And here we have countless people
- 8:22dead and over 300 people injured And it's
- 8:25quite telling to what extent the systems failed
- 8:27That people had no idea about the attacks
- 8:30until they had already happened So what's the
- 8:33use of these systems?
- 8:34But here an interesting pattern is emerging That
- 8:38Houthis are targeting a company, Aramco What is
- 8:41Aramco?
- 8:42Why is this company so important for Saudi?
- 8:44Chapter 2 The American Dream Aramco You must
- 8:48have heard the name But what is the
- 8:50meaning of that name?
- 8:51Aramco stands for Arabian American Oil Company America
- 8:55is hidden in the name itself But where
- 8:57did this America come from?
- 9:01The year was 1933 It had been only
- 9:05a year since Saudi became a country The
- 9:07Saudi of that time was not the Saudi
- 9:08of today They had sand, camels and Hajjis
- 9:12coming to Mecca But there was not one
- 9:13thing, money King Abdulaziz Ibn Saud used to
- 9:17get the majority of money for running a
- 9:20country from the people coming to Hajj But
- 9:22the great depression of 1929 reduced the number
- 9:26of Hajjis coming To run a country, Ibn
- 9:29Saud needed a source of income Which was
- 9:32in his hands and that too fast Meanwhile,
- 9:35he was seeing that oil was developing in
- 9:36the Middle East around him You may not
- 9:41believe it, but oil was found in Iran
- 9:42in 1908 and Bahrain in 1932 And Saudi,
- 9:47which is famous for its oil today Even
- 9:49after a lot of efforts, only sand was
- 9:52coming Ibn Saud knew that without western technology,
- 9:57Saudi would not be able to fulfill his
- 9:58oil search On 29th May 1933, a deal
- 10:03was signed in Jeddah America will give 35
- 10:05,000 pounds of gold Completely in advance In
- 10:09return, Americans will drill in Saudi Will find
- 10:12oil with their own technology Al Saud's cash
- 10:15problem was solved For the next 5 years,
- 10:18the Americans kept drilling in Saudi and nothing
- 10:21was found But on 3rd March 1938, a
- 10:24miracle happened Oil was found 1440 meters below
- 10:28in Damam well no.
- 10:297 Actually, not oil, but oil rivers were
- 10:32found For the next 45 years, oil was
- 10:34extracted from here On an average, 1600 barrels
- 10:37per day This oil was enough to meet
- 10:38the needs of 35,000 Indian vehicles in
- 10:40one day Which was extracted from only one
- 10:44well And this well has not yet dried
- 10:48This is called the well of prosperity Because
- 10:51whatever development you see in Saudi today is
- 10:54the result of this well Remember this well
- 10:56of prosperity Even today, this well is important,
- 10:59but for a different reason In 1944, a
- 11:02company was established for oil extraction and refining
- 11:05Whose name was Aramco From 1948 to 1973,
- 11:10American companies owned it And Saudi's ownership was
- 11:140% Saudi used to get royalties And
- 11:17after 1950, profit was distributed 50-50 By
- 11:211950, oil was produced 5 lakh barrels per
- 11:25day in Saudi In just 6 years, Aramco
- 11:28increased by 25 times Not just a company,
- 11:31Aramco is a partnership Between Saudi and America
- 11:34In 1948, Ghawar was discovered, which is the
- 11:37largest oil field in the world Here are
- 11:3960 billion barrels of oil To put things
- 11:42in perspective, India consumes 5.5 million barrels
- 11:45of oil every day Ghawar oil field can
- 11:48run India alone for 30 years There is
- 11:52so much oil here Saudi had oil, but
- 11:55Aramco did not have ownership In October 1973,
- 11:59the Yom Kippur War began Egypt and Syria
- 12:01attacked Israel And America supported Israel Saudi got
- 12:06angry and Saudi stopped giving oil to America
- 12:09Saudi forced America to kneel down and showed
- 12:13its strength In 1973, Saudi Kingdom bought 25
- 12:17% of Aramco And by 1980, 100%
- 12:23of the company was owned by Saudi Aramco
- 12:25became Saudi Aramco But Saudi bought ownership, it
- 12:29does not mean that the partnership was broken
- 12:31It is said that there was a secret
- 12:34deal between Saudi and the US In which
- 12:35America took the guarantee of Saudi's security And
- 12:39Saudi started keeping its money in US government
- 12:41bonds That is, whenever oil is sold, the
- 12:45demand for the US dollar increases And the
- 12:47US dollar goes up And whenever there is
- 12:50a crisis, the Gulf crisis becomes the crisis
- 12:53of America Saudi Aramco is a money machine
- 12:56To extract a barrel of oil from the
- 12:57ground, it costs only $3 And this oil
- 13:02is sold, sometimes for $60, sometimes for $80,
- 13:05and sometimes for $100 When Aramco was listed
- 13:10in the stock exchange in December 2019 Then
- 13:12Mohammed Bin Salman listed the shares of only
- 13:141.5% of the company And raised
- 13:17$25.6 billion This was the world's largest
- 13:23IPO And the valuation of Saudi Aramco is
- 13:26$1.7 trillion Even today, Saudi Aramco is
- 13:30a listed company But 81.5% owns
- 13:33Saudi Kingdom That is, in a way, MBS
- 13:37And Saudi's sovereign wealth fund owns 16%
- 13:40That is, 98% of the company is
- 13:44directly or indirectly in the pocket of one
- 13:46person And that is this person Mohammed Bin
- 13:49Salman MBS That's why we say that MBS
- 13:53is not Elon Musk MBS is the richest
- 13:56person in the world The story of Saudi
- 13:58is quite interesting And the story of MBS
- 14:01too Which you can definitely see in this
- 14:03video Saudi Aramco is not an ordinary company
- 14:05It is the wallet of the whole country
- 14:07In 2024, 62% of the revenue of
- 14:08the Saudi government came from Aramco In 2025,
- 14:13the dividend alone was $70 billion When there
- 14:16is a problem in Aramco, the whole country
- 14:18suffers And today, the Houthis of Yemen are
- 14:21attacking this Aramco But do you know the
- 14:23interesting part?
- 14:24There are so many attacks on Aramco Still,
- 14:27Aramco's profits are increasing Yes In May 2026,
- 14:31the numbers of Aramco's first quarters came In
- 14:33these numbers released after the Iran war, the
- 14:36profit increased by 25% That is $32
- 14:39billion In August, this profit increased further $33
- 14:42.4 billion A year ago, the price of
- 14:44crude oil was $67 And now it has
- 14:47become $108 Saudi is selling less oil But
- 14:51remember, one barrel of oil comes out in
- 14:53just $3 Aramco is making profits even during
- 14:57the war Saudi has so much oil So
- 14:59if the profit is increasing, what is the
- 15:01problem?
- 15:01On paper, it is a profit But due
- 15:03to the war, the cash flow is stuck
- 15:06The Saudi government is spending a lot on
- 15:08its big ambitious projects Neom, The Line, big
- 15:12stadiums, giga projects Money is spent for all
- 15:17of these Today or tomorrow, this money will
- 15:19definitely end All of this because Saudi is
- 15:24so dependent on Aramco And Houthis are attacking
- 15:27here again and again That is why MBS
- 15:31is worried Chapter 3, Two Gates Do you
- 15:34remember the well of prosperity?
- 15:35Damam well number 7 Where in 1938, the
- 15:38fate of Saudi had changed Today, the same
- 15:40well is a museum And Aramco's headquarters is
- 15:42just 100 meters away from it On the
- 15:45night of 13th October, 2026 Houthis' missile fell
- 15:50on the same headquarters From where the story
- 15:51of Saudi had started Today, the same place
- 15:53is on fire But Houthis did not attack
- 15:55just one building They tried to stop the
- 15:57breath of Saudi To understand, see the map
- 16:01of Saudi Most of the oil of Saudi
- 16:03is in the east On the banks of
- 16:03Persian Gulf And to bring this oil to
- 16:06the world Saudi has only two doors The
- 16:09first door is towards the east Straight of
- 16:12Hormuz A narrow sea lane between Iran and
- 16:15Oman From where about 20% of the
- 16:18world's oil passes daily This is already blocked,
- 16:21we all know The International Energy Agency said
- 16:24This is the biggest supply disruption in the
- 16:28history of oil But Saudi also has another
- 16:30door In the west, the Red Sea 1200
- 16:33km long east-west pipeline Which takes the
- 16:37oil from east to west through the desert
- 16:39To the Yanbu port of the Red Sea
- 16:41Daily, this pipeline can take 7 million barrels
- 16:43of oil Saudi was not in tension earlier
- 16:47Because this route was available But there is
- 16:52also a lane to get out of the
- 16:53Red Sea Bab al-Mandab And who is
- 16:54sitting on the edge of that lane?
- 16:57Houthis of Yemen In Chapter 1, we saw
- 16:59how one after another attacks are happening Now
- 17:01think, Iran closed the doors of the east
- 17:05Houthis are standing on the doors of the
- 17:06west And who gives weapons to the Houthis?
- 17:07Iran That is, both the doors of the
- 17:09world's largest oil exporter Have the same hand
- 17:12And when the world's largest oil tap gets
- 17:15stuck Then the effect is not only on
- 17:17Saudi On October 16, crude oil touched $
- 17:20110 per barrel But who has the most
- 17:23pain?
- 17:24Not America America extracts its own oil And
- 17:27they have taken over countries like Venezuela Asia
- 17:30has pain 75% of the oil extracted
- 17:34from the Gulf is bought by only 4
- 17:35countries China, Japan, South Korea and India Chapter
- 17:394 Conclusion What can India learn from this
- 17:42story of Saudi?
- 17:42Saudi's biggest mistake was that the entire country's
- 17:45earnings were dependent on a company And India's
- 17:48danger?
- 17:49One country, one way A large part of
- 17:51our energy comes from one ocean In 1933,
- 17:56Saudi looked at America for money And after
- 17:5890 years, its security is still in the
- 18:01hands of others India should not make this
- 18:04mistake We are seeing that America's Patriot missiles
- 18:06are running out Then who will stop the
- 18:07drones coming from Iran and Houthis?
- 18:10India is making the same mistake in its
- 18:11defense as Saudi We are looking at other
- 18:15countries for our security Whereas we are not
- 18:18supporting our own companies There is such a
- 18:23joke in the defense community That Armenia has
- 18:25given more Indian products to its military As
- 18:28compared to our own military And that's really
- 18:30sad Saudi Arabia looked at America with the
- 18:34expectation That they will come and save them
- 18:36from the Houthis But Donald Trump refused to
- 18:39help them When it comes to the security
- 18:43of a country Then any country can refuse
- 18:46at any time for their interests And when
- 18:48the actual crisis will come Then we cannot
- 18:51look at other countries Because the truth is
- 18:54that countries like America and China Do not
- 18:57want more competitors to come So why would
- 19:00anyone support India?
- 19:02There is a similar issue in energy India
- 19:05imports about 88% of its oil And
- 19:08before this war, 41% of our crude
- 19:10oil 55% of LNG And 88%
- 19:15of LPG came from the same Strait of
- 19:17Hormuz 88% LPG means the gas cylinder
- 19:21of your house Passes through the street where
- 19:23the missiles are running today Where Iran is
- 19:26holding oil ships hostage The funny thing is
- 19:28that before February 2026 The Strait of Hormuz
- 19:32and the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait Both were
- 19:34fine Of course, there were always conflicts with
- 19:37the Houthis But they did not stop all
- 19:39the other ships This whole war is so
- 19:43unnecessary All of this is because some countries
- 19:46just decided to be stupid Countries like the
- 19:49USA They become monitors all over the world
- 19:51They call themselves leaders But still they start
- 19:55so many wars They financially ruin and bankrupt
- 19:59so many countries Fuel has run out in
- 20:02so many countries Fertilizer crisis in so many
- 20:04countries Inflation has spread in our country And
- 20:06it is all because of one stupid country
- 20:09That wants to control the world And if
- 20:11we look at this country from the perspective
- 20:12of friendship Then I think we will be
- 20:15very stupid If we continue to look at
- 20:17USA as a reliable ally This war is
- 20:20not ours But if there are attacks on
- 20:22Aramco Then its impact will be on our
- 20:26petrol and diesel Pressure on CNG will increase
- 20:29There will be a situation like lockdown Aramco
- 20:32is such an important company That if it
- 20:34stops, the engine of the world will stop
- 20:36Every missile that falls in Riyadh Will increase
- 20:39the bill of your jeep This is the
- 20:41truth Saudi's mistake was to put everything on
- 20:44a company Our mistake would be to think
- 20:47that this is not our problem In the
