Amid reports of a renewed Saudi offensive against Iranian-allied rebels in Yemen, Iran's news agency reported on Friday that Saudi Arabia had stopped Iranian aid planes from landing in Yemen.

Not unexpectedly, a top Iranian official responded with threats directed at Saudi Arabia. Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir Abdollahian warned on Sunday that the Saudi behavior and its siege of Yemen and preventing the dispatch of humanitarian aids "will not remain unanswered."

"Saudi Arabia is not entitled to decide for others in the region," Abdollahian added.

Iran's FARS News Agency stated that Saudi fighter jets stopped Iranian planes carrying humanitarian aid on two straight days.

Sunday saw Saudi naval shelling and air-raids - at least five of them, Reuters reports – as the combat in Yemen, including ground battles, intensified. It has been about a month since a Saudi-led alliance initiated an offensive against Iranian-allied Houthi forces who have seized wide areas Yemen.

The world is inflamed due to Obola and McCain,
and so, with Egypt about to invade Libya, too,
the crypto-Moslem Indonesian Impostor in the White Mosque
shows again that he truly deserved the Nobel War Prize.

Obama does have a lot more freedom now that his last election is over. I pray that the civilized world will survive the next two years of this disaster.

When America shows weakness bad things happen around the world. The Mideast is imploding in large part to our community organizer in chief.

Spit.

I don’t think it’s weakness as much as deliberately making friends of our former enemies and enemies of our former friends.

They should just be happy the Saudis aren’t hijacking the planes and flying them into buildings.

Unless, the Saudis have already bought half a dozen a-bombs of their own.

And the Muslims are just stupid enough to actually use those things.
