This port is the main supply route for Iran to get weapons and ammo to the rebels. They are losing it.

So the rebels will have to cut a deal. Strategically, the Saudis have won, and the Iranians have lost. Even if it drags out for months or years, the die is cast with the Houthis losing Hodeidah.

It calls into question Iran's ability to continue to support regional wars while short on money from sanctions.

It likely frees up Saudi/Emirati resources to shift into Syria.

From about 1960 to 1990, Yemen was two countries - North Yemen and South Yemen.

South Yemen, as I recall, was a radical Marxist state.

I will speculate that is part of the problem in the current civil war.

Ooooh, “shuttle diplomacy”.

I would think it would be “Uber diplomacy” or “Lyft diplomacy” these days.

Your suppposition sounds reasonable.

This all ties in with Trump getting our forces out of Syria, Saudi Arabia moving in, while cutting off Iran in Yemen at the same time. Pieces of plans are being revealed and falling into place.

Of course the MSM has to say Trump is disrespecting the generals.
