IRAN & U.S. HEADING TOWARDS WAR - USS Iwo Jima in Arabian Sea Near Yemen
Watching Saudi Arabia spend hundreds of billions of dollars on sophisticated weapons in the past decade, many friends and foes of the oil-rich kingdom often wondered to what extent it would be capable of using them.
Now, there is an answer. By sustaining nearly a month of intensive airstrikes in Yemen, Saudi Arabia has shown that—from a purely military standpoint—it can lead a lengthy and complicated campaign.
It’s still far from clear that Riyadh will achieve its ultimate goal of rolling back the pro-Iranian Houthi forces that have taken over much of Yemen. The military campaign, the first that Saudi Arabia has led since 1934, has suffered setbacks—most notably an unexpected refusal by traditional ally Pakistan to join the coalition. Saudi Arabia launched air strikes in response to the power grab by the Houthis, who they accuse of acting as puppets of Iran, the kingdom’s regional rival.
The announced end of Saudi Arabia’s bombing campaign in Yemen may provide a window for thousands of U.S. citizens to leave the war-torn nation. Yet the State Department shows no sign it will begin rescuing the thousands of Yemeni-Americans there, drawing ire from the Arab-American community.
A fleet of Iranian warships arrived near the southern coast of Yemen on Wednesday in a move likely to add greater tension in a developing U.S.-Iranian standoff in the region, according Iranian military leaders.
Just days after the United States announced it would send its own warships to Yemen in order to prevent Iran from smuggling weapons to terror forces fighting there, a flotilla of Iranian destroyers docked in the same area. u.s. usa america "united states: arabic "arabian sea" sea ocean ship naval navy "u.s. navy" battle power control strategy military freedom shipping 2015 2016 international community conflict war "saudi arabia" security shipment relationship peace "middle east" news media entertainment humanity charity donate politics games defense survival trendy trends "war ship" movie commerce navigation extreme priority partner partnership "elite nwo agenda" bullish future false flag attack september 2015 collapse 7 years illuminati symbolism george soros bilderberg end times 2008 montagraph demcad rawdogletard number 7 9 11 daboo77 alex jones infowars walmart jade helm 15 gold silver usd stock market marc faber jim rogers
A Saudi Prince has come under fire on social media after reportedly promising luxury Bentley cars to fighter pilots involved in bombing strikes in Yemen.
