UN experts find 'growing' evidence Iran sending weapons to Houthi rebels in war-torn Yemen
FOX ^ | Jan. 30, 2021

United Nations experts are warning of a "growing body of evidence" that Iran is sending weapons to Houthi rebels in war-torn Yemen, in a report that warns of a deteriorating situation in the country with "devastating consequence" for the civilian population.

(excerpt)

The evidence includes anti-tank guided missiles, sniper rifles and RPB launchers all with markings consistent with those made in Iran.

The Trump administration had warned of moves by Iran to destabilize the Middle East by arms sales, and attempted to reimpose a broader arms embargo, as well as other sanctions that were expiring as part of the 2015 Iran deal -- but faced pushback from allies and others at the U.N. that scuppered the effort.

That’s why Biden just cut off arms to our allies fighting against the terrorists.

We’re right back to giving aid and comfort and money to terrorists like Iran thanks Democraps.

“ Which explains why Biden/Harris/Rice regime cancelled the F35s to the UAE.”

It’s about Israel, and whether you take Genesis seriously. Trump did. Biden doesn’t.

The US is participating in Saudi Arabia’s genocide in Yemen. It’s shameful. The US should have no part in this war. Let the Muslims fight each other and stay out of it.

Biden/Harris/Rice certainly would not want an actually competent anti-Iran local force to have F-35’s.

Is the UN recommending Iran for a Nobel Peace Prize for this?

Iran? Why, Iran would never do a thing like that. Beavens to Hetsy, no! Butter wouldn’t melt in the Ayatollah Ali Khameni’s mouth, which is why he’s so misunderstood. He’s talking Farsi with butter, un-melted, in his mouth. You try translating that, even if you do know Farsi./s

Ezekiel 38 will come.

Interestingly, Saudi Arabia (Sheba and Dedan) seem to protest the Iranian attack on Israel.

Prophesied over 2,500 years ago.

Apparently we are not going to have to participate in this war, but if we do, it should be on the side of Israel and its allies. Maybe we are the young lions of Tarshish. Doesn’t matter. Jehovah will vanquish Israel’s enemies.

If you have any doubts about Bible prophecy, take a look at Psalms 83, which describes the earlier efforts to destroy Israel, half a century ago.
