Snip:
With every day that passes, we come close to believe that the war in Sa’ada is a Saudi-Iranian war, not a Yemeni one.
Both foreign countries are desperate for more regional power while both are also worried of losing greatly. Saudi Arabia does not want Houthis controlling northern parts of Yemen for one main reason; southern Saudi has a large number of Shiite’s which could make them turn against their country as well. Saudi also fears that Shiite’s already have a militant group in the north of Arabia (Hezbollah), and are now looking for one in the south of Arabia (Houthis). Saudi Arabia paid billions of dollars to keep Hezbollah out of rule in Lebanon and somewhat came out victorious for the meantime, and is doing the same in Yemen.
On the other hand, Iran is trying to expand its Persian Empire even further after great success in Iraq, Lebanon, Bahrain, and not mention keeping the estimated 15 million Sunni Iranians in check and with no power whatsoever. The famous Hezbollah satellite channel Al-A’lam has been reporting news about Houthi successes around the hour, and as if it was a Houthi channel. Houthis have until now managed to get strong media attention, which in result makes its struggle international after it was a local problem for more than six years.

@ zxcpoi,
Propaganda for who’s benefit? The story is written in the Yemen Post and confronts both the KSA and Iran.
…
Propaganda.
those yemenis and qat
“north of Arabia (Hezbollah)” lulz, since when lebanon is part of arabia! hilarious!!!
anyway kill the houthis with a FIRE!!!!!!
eh! dont worry America will jump in as usual.. if its in their interest to keep this region Sunni controlled and under their belt..
Propaganda.
Saudi Arabia and Iran wont go to war – the US is going softly softly with Iran at the moment and it thinks it’s suceeding. And nothing happens in this region without America’s say so. So there wont be a war, end of story.
By the way all the sunni states in this region shud hang their heads in shame – all of them UAE, Saudi, Egypt, all of them kow tow to Americans willing to jump when they say.
And it takes one Shia, Ahmednijad to bring the americans to their senses. And another shia organisation Hezbollah to rub isreal’s nose into dust.
Saudi and Yemen have accused Iran of supporting Sa’ada since 2003.

And it would benefit Yemen and Saudi Arabia, both of which have problems with their Shia minorities/neighbours.
My understanding is that this website is designed for people who need help with some genuine inquiries. It is not a debate society. The kind of “questions” you keep posting seem better suited for a political discussion forum.
no it is war between Persians and Arabs
Persians wants to control the Arab world using religion (shia).
these pigs in Yemen will be destroyed sooner or later and Saudi Arabia did not interfere.
NOPE
