This link has a lot of interesting details. Some fear that the Iranians might have included nuclear weapons if they have any from the Pakistanis. This move by Iran and their Shiite Houti supporters appears aimed at controlling the mouth of the Red Sea (in other words the Suez Canal). If Iran succeeds, then along with Hormuz Straits, they will control passage of over 40% of shipped oil. Glad to see the Gulf states are finally going to use all that military hardware for something other than attacking Israel.

That story about the Iranians dropping off 185 tons of military hardware actually broke 4 to 5 days ago. Did not see it posted any where here. That was about the time the Israelis started warning that Iran was the real concern. Not ISIS. Kinda strange that ValJar would start using her puppet to attack Israel at this exact time. This article is interesting for the background info.

Houthis similar to Hezbollah

Read that Pakistan supports the actions of Saudi Arabia. Pakistanis are holding Saudis nukes. They can nuke Iran from Pakistan fairly easily. Iran might have snuck a small EMP device into Yemen though. Would come in handy if they make a move north toward Mecca.

The Suez Canal is a huge cash cow for Egypt. If that sea traffic gets constricted Egypt would suck in a hurry. It would indeed be refreshing to see the Egypts get off their camel buttz and use some of that 2 billion worth of hardware we give them every year to help out in the neighborhood-——they don’t bitch as much about Israel as they used to but there is plenty of other stuff they could be doing. Like, oh, say, stopping Iran smuggling weapons to Hamas/Hezbollah. And It’s muzzie-on-muzzie violence at its best so I’ll look for the down side later.
