Arab Gulf states announced late Wednesday that they have decided to “repel Houthi aggression” in neighboring Yemen, following a request from the country’s President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi.

President Hadi, who was forced to flee his presidential complex in Aden earlier in the day, has urged the Gulf states to intervene military in Yemen.

In their joint statement Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Qatar and Kuwait said they "decided to repel Houthi militias, al-Qaeda and ISIS [Islamic State of Iraq and Syria] in the country.”

The Gulf states warned that the Houthi coup in Yemen represented a “major threat” to the region’s stability.

It also accused the Iranian-backed militia of conducting military drills on the border of Saudi Arabia, a leading member of the GCC, with “heavy weapons.”

In an apparent reference to Iran, the statement said the “Houthi militia is backed by regional powers in order for it be their base of influence.”

This looks like a well thought out plan by the Iranians, Russians and the Commie Muzzie fruit in the White Hut.

They let the Iceholes destabilize all these countries and then the Iranian Shiiteheads with the help of the Russians move in and take over one country after another until they get their hands on the real prize-—Saudi Arabia.

Unfarkingbelievable.

The Sunni's align to repel the Shia. This will end in nuclear war.

Someday soon.

So could Obama bowing to the (previous) King of Saudi Arabia been a ruse...

I think your assertion is correct. After all, look who Obama’s main advisor is. An Iranian.. Valjar

Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar Bahrain, Egypt... Know what needs to be done. I bet Bibi’s Boyz are providing logistical support as well. The world is strange. But these guys are doing the RIGHT thing.
