Iran is beating a retreat from Yemen, where it has backed the Houthi rebels, who in turn have launched missiles and drones against Israel, and have also attacked international shipping in the Red Sea, as well as western naval vessels.
The reason: U.S. President Donald Trump has launched a relentless assault on the Houthis while also restoring a “maximum pressure” campaign of sanctions that makes it impossible for Iran to sustain its overseas terror proxies.
The UK Telegraph reported on Thursday:
Iran has ordered military personnel to leave Yemen, abandoning its Houthi allies as the US escalates an air strike campaign against the rebel group.
A senior Iranian official said the move aimed to avoid direct confrontation with the US if an Iranian soldier was killed.
The official said Iran was also scaling back its strategy of supporting a network of regional proxies to focus on the direct threats from the US instead.
Tehran’s primary concern, the source said, was “Trump and how to deal with him”.

Ha!
BTTT
Wow!
“The official said Iran was also scaling back its strategy of supporting a network of regional proxies...”
In other words, scaling back support of Hezbollah, Hamas and Houthis.
The DemonRAT “media” toadies are backing Iran and the Houthi Whos against Trump.
BItch Slap #1 complete !!!
US MIL has been conducting around-the-clock strikes on Iran’s proxies in Yemen since zero hour. The US press has been under a complete blackout as intended by the chain of command. The objectives are to degrade the Houthis into the dustbin of history, and in doing so, send a message to Iran... you’re next up for maximum annihilation.
Iran is opting for self-preservation.
Pfffft. If Iranian military people have been at the Yemen sites, some of them have been killed already.
I guess Iran has just about used up the billions that Creepy Sleepy Joe gave them…
Absolutely IRGC ‘advisors’ have been killed by US/UK attacks on Houthis, most recently reported two weeks ago.
Coincidentally, just announced today:
Saudi Al Hadath: 70 Houthis killed in US strike south of Hodeidah, including Iranian Revolutionary Guards experts.
This is exactly the right thing to do. The Houthis need to be made an example of what happens when you mess with us. Iran needs to be the nation that learns this lesson.
And for what it's worth, I have been advocating stomping the sh*t out of Iran since they took our hostages in 1979.
It has been the right thing to do ever since 1979.
