A million Yemeni tribal fighters are gathering near the border with Saudi Arabia in preparation to invade the Kingdom, Iran's Kayhan newspaper has reported.
The newspaper quoted what it described as "informed sources" in Sanaa as saying that "the political forces and the tribes of Yemen announced a general alarm to mobilise one million Yemeni fighters near the border with Saudi Arabia to invade its territory and curb its aggression on Yemen."
The paper quoted a spokesman for the Yemeni army, Brigadier General Sharaf Ghalib Luqman, as claiming that his army has captured Saudi, Emirati, Bahraini and Qatari fighters in the province of Marib and will present them to the media in the coming days.

One million? Like a million man march? Oh please let the shake down bothers know!
Hope they are standing close together.
Good, good
A little ground action down there in the Tatooine of the Arab world keeps a million jihadis off the streets of civilization
Go for it...!!
Go for it! Do something to redeem yourselves! Do something good for humanity for a change. Put the accursed Saudis out of their misery!
Skeptical. Consider the support logistics to house and feed 1 million. Plus a group that large would surely be visible on even the crappiest of satellites.
And a whole bunch of them are silently invading europe as we sit idly by lamenting the refugee crisis.
That would almost be as effective as assembling a million beagle puppies armed with sharpened twigs and trotting them off the edge of the Grand Canyon. Almost.
Given that the Yemen Houthi rebels are busy trying to hold on to Yemen, and suffering regular setbacks. (the appear to be losing the war right now) It is extremely doubtful they have a million, or even a few thousand extra fighters - and the associated equipment and resources - to throw around going after Saudi. Sure, attacking Saudi bases as a tactic to try to reduce the effectiveness of Saudi strikes in Yemen makes sense. No way they have a million people to throw into the effort though.
And how could we possibly doubt a source like that?
I aint buying this!
I aint buying this!
Having trained U.S. and foreign troops at Ft. Knox for a number of years, among whom were Saudis and Yemenis, I believe the Yemenis might suffer a massive depopulation should they move against the Saudis.
Exactly.
This is the last gasp of a defeated faction. Interestingly it comes from an Iranian source. Iran is losing big time in Yemen. Soon Hadi will be back in the palace in Sanaa.
The Saudis would make mincemeat in a matter of hours with a ground incursion from Yemen. Sitting ducks. This is total fantasy, wishful thinking on the part of the Iranians.
Payback’s a bitch. At least the Saudis will get to see how effectively their donations to ISIS are being used.
Right, and could Obama’s and the Soros’ plan to destabalize Europe be in America’s short term best interest keeping the dollar king of the hill?
Sounds like Iranian propaganda BS. Iran and the Saudis hate each other.
I wonder if the Chinese will invade to protect their oil supply?
“Sounds like Iranian propaganda BS. Iran and the Saudis hate each other.”
Yeah, it’s propaganda..
Yemeni’s have been crossing the border in groups of 20-30 for a couple of months, attacking borer stations and killing Saudi Troops by the ones and twos, but a million?
