The raids on the Yemeni capital, Sana’a, targeted military camps, as well as Houthi rebel facilities near the city’s airport and in its suburbs, residents and rebel-run Al-Masirah TV said. A separate strike hit a rebel target in the port province of Hodeidah.

The Iran-backed Houthis attacked a Saudi Aramco oil refinery in Riyadh on Friday with six bomb-laden drones. The assault caused a fire that was later controlled with no impact on oil supplies or derivatives, state-run media said. No casualties were reported.

Some here are too quick to jump on anything happening in the Middle east as prophetic.

Biden had successfully destabilized the region within 60 days. Impressive.

“Hezbollah ...Iran proxy army ..protects Christians in the Syrian civil war more than anyone...”

Like they did during the Lebanese civil war?

“That is why Bidet’s moral outrage at the Saudi royal family is laughable—there is _nothing_ he can do about it.”

Doesn’t stop Joe from comically puffing out his chest and leading with that glass jaw of his.

Yes

They and Assad fought ISIS

Quite a transformation from the Lebanese civil war many years ago when Shite Amal warred against Christian forces in Lebanon

Another little nugget .....first Pali terrorists were led by Arab Christians like Haddad and Habash and that lady Hannah

Before Abu Nidal and Yassir

Makes for odd bedfellows....even Israel much beloved here sometime takes the side I wish they didn’t

Like the GOPe and NeoCons here.....remember McCain sucking up with Bagdahdi?

I’m ambivalent about the Iran Saudi binary .....it’s not so simple....

If choose the Saudi’s but Iran is not completely without some legitimacy in their gripes

Take the Recent Armenia Azerbaijani war

Armenia ....Russia Iran

Azerbaijan .....Israel...turkey

We supported turkey as a NATO member and Israel well,because we normally do

Yet most posters here objectively ....would or did support Armenia ....

Plus that the Christian over muzz route.....which I personally prefer

But like Kosovo and Bosnia we supported the Muzz

So like I said....I’m ambivalent and lean Armenia which oddly allows me against Israel and with Iran

Which is rare....

I sure do t care for Turkey

I respect r Putin but I’m under no illusions

There is no question Hezbollah is on the Christian side these days in Lebanon and Syria

So there is that.....Christians and Yazidhis flee Daesh into the arms of Hezbollah for a reason

This all stems back to when Jordan expelled the Palestinians ...brother Hashemites

That ruined Lebanon and by extension Assad dictatorship is Syria

And the rest is complicated history

Before you start.....no that doesn’t mean I want Iran to have delivery capable nukes

They were trying to have it both ways. Biden in carrying out his agenda said, up yours. Now they had to hike up their skirts and get off their bone-idle asses to defend their own interests. About time.
As I've said plenty of times around here, the best part of a muzzie civil war is, everyone wins.
