Major General Ahmad Hassan Mohammad Asiri (Arabic: أحمد حسن محمد العسيري; born 12 February 1952) is a Saudi Arabian military officer.

[2] He was also the former spokesman for the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen, a position he served from the beginning of the Saudi intervention until 27 July 2017, when he was replaced by Colonel Turki bin Saleh al-Malki.

This warning will end at 7 p.m. today and coalitions forces will immediately respond to the actions of these militias that targeted the security and safety of the Saudi citizens from now and until the objectives of this operation are reached.

[8] In March 2017, Asiri, at a think tank forum in London, was the target of Sam Walton, a UK peace activist's attempt at a citizen's arrest over the Yemen war atrocities.

[12][13][14] In October 2018, the daily newspaper al-Waqt quoted informed sources as saying that the crown prince Mohammad bin Salman had assigned Asiri with the mission to execute dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey.

[15] American television journalist Rachel Maddow[16] pointed to reports by foreign affairs columnist David Ignatius explaining that Asiri planned to create a "tiger team"[17] for covert Special operations.

[1][18] As "informed sources" in Washington were trying to work out who the possible scapegoat for the Khashoggi execution might be,[19] and because Asiri also was the "point of contact" for crown prince Mohammad's offers of help to the 2016 Trump presidential campaign, which were part of Robert Mueller's investigation.
