Houthi Yemen coup moves Iran’s Middle East hegemonic ambitions forward - upheld by Washington

Houthi Yemen coup moves Iran’s Middle East
hegemonic ambitions forward - upheld by Washington

"The strings of the pro-Iranian Houthi rebels’ coup
which toppled the Yemeni government in Sanaa were
pulled from Tehran and Washington. US intelligence
and shared US-Iranian support helped the Houthis
reach their goal, which is confined for now
to parts of central Yemen and all of the North.
...

Friday, Feb. 6, the rebels dissolved parliament
and seized power in the country of 24 million.
They propose to rule by a revolutionary council.
...

debkafile’s Saudi intelligence sources reveal
that the dominant figure of the uprising was none
other than Ali Abdullah Saleh, president of Yemen
from 1990 until he was ousted in 2012.
...

The Houthis secretly call themselves “Ansar Allah”
and have adopted the “Death to America, Death to Israel”
slogans routinely heard in government-sponsored parades
and demonstrations on the streets and squares
of revolutionary Tehran.
...
In Washington, administration spokesmen Saturday tried pouring oil
on the troubled waters roiled by US support for the Iranian maneuver
in Sanaa and the return of Abdullah Saleh to the Yemeni scene."
