Has Iran Conquered Yemen?

[Olog-hai]

The “Arab spring” continues in Yemen, where the Shi’ite Houthi militia loyal to Iran has completely taken control of the government in the capital city of Sana’a, after forcing the disbanding of the previous government and parliament by besieging the seat of government.

The Houthi “transition government” has been established for a two year period, and has already published a “constitutional declaration” adding to Yemen’s constitution.

Iran’s proxy group took control of Sana’a last September, forcing the resignation of President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi in January. […]

Not all are taking kindly to the Houthi takeover, however; in the south and east of the country there is widespread opposition to the new government, and concern that it will allow Iran to take over Yemen, thereby endangering the Arabian Peninsula and control the Red Sea. …

Saudis aren’t going to let this fester on their southern border.

Iran needs ways to evade the sanctions.
