I agree with the mistakes that you're highlighting- Moreso, I think we should look for evidence that Iran is militarily supporting the Houthis? Iranians claim their support has been to the extent of food and medicine supplies. No one can challenge that so far- FACT-
Its another thing that we love to take every allegation on Iran's military support to Houthis, that the Saudi's are propogating, for its face value.-
The only force that can withstand the aggression is the Yemeni people, if they decide whether to accept, fight or topple- in this case the Houthis want to oust the current Gov't- that is most likely and naturally working out in Iran's favor; then why would Iran has to send ammunitions. Hadi's palace was taken over - no fighting, no destruction- they stormed in Hadi begged for his life. We can't forget Houthis have been fighting Al-Qaeda for a long time in Yemen- Does anyone question, WHY? and HOW?
It seems to me that Yemen is undergoing a revolution on their own- why does anyone have to get involved?
