UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The United Nations Security Council on Tuesday imposed an arms embargo targeting the Iran-allied Houthi rebels who rule most of Yemen and blacklisted the son of the country's former president and a Houthi leader after council veto-power Russia abstained.

The Security Council adopted the resolution - drafted by council member Jordan and Gulf Arab states - with 14 votes in favor, but after weeks of negotiations Russia abstained, saying some of its proposals were not included

It was to be expected, however Iran is already feeding them arms.

So, I see we have Wahhabi supporters here. The posters here never cease to amaze, especially aris2chat. She carefully calculates what will benefit the Israel and will support even the most radical Islamic pieces of shit if it might benefit Israel. You are disgusting (and predictable) Aris.

As usual, you make things up about other posters. Pathetic doesn't even begin to describe you Monti.

Now why don't you go kiss some more Palestinian ass Monti, you racist bigot.

Well you never amaze me, Haniyah, since you are a good Muslim convert. As you can see, folks, Haniyah has it in for Aris, calling her disgusting. Perhaps Haniyah doesn't think that there are others who think that she is the one who is disgusting.. I am sure you all noticed what she wrote about Aris yesterday. Maybe she can't stand that Aris comes from the Middle East and is still in contact with many of her old friends and acquaintances there so she certainly has a better handle on what is going on than any of us on this forum. Meanwhile, the killing goes on and on in Yemen and the people are starting to starve and many need medical attention. Perhaps when these Houtis find that the replacements are not coming anymore from Iran because of the embargo, the fighting might stop. Now go shake out your burqa, Haniyah.

Don't worry about what is said about me. They are just words of no relevance. There may be days when my pain index is high and I might be more sensitive, but people like that have no real argument so they resort to childish behavior.
My off days might be more than my good days but I've rarely be unable to fight my own battles. It is nice that friends have my back, but I'm not helpless yet. The adrenaline rush is a nice high from time to time.
I'm lucky to have cultivated such caring people around me over the years.

Exercise, mental and physical, is good for me

Nikki Haley offers 'undeniable' proof Iran is arming Houthi rebels
Dec. 14, 2017 -- Standing before large pieces of missile debris Thursday, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley presented what she said was "undeniable" evidence Iran is providing weapons to Houthi rebels in Yemen.

She said the debris was from a short-range missile fired by Houthi rebels in Yemen into Saudi Arabia. The weapon hit a civilian airport. "All of these weapons include parts made in Iran, some by Iran's government-run defense industry; all are proof that Iran is defying the international community," Haley said. "And not just one time. This evidence demonstrates a pattern of behavior in which Iran sows conflict and extremism in direct violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions. "The evidence is undeniable," she added, "The weapons might as well have had 'Made in Iran' stickers all over it." Speaking at a news conference in a military hangar at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling in Washington, D.C., said the debris was on loan from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, which collected it. The Trump administration argues the debris is evidence of Iran's violation of a resolution the United Nations passed after Tehran and western countries agreed to a deal halting Iran's nuclear program in 2015.

Tehran, though, said the missile debris is "fabricated." "Following a series of baseless accusations against the Islamic Republic of Iran in the past 10 months, the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. once again today took the same line accusing the Iranian government of supplying the missile that hit Saudi Arabia on November 4th -- an accusation that we categorically reject as unfounded and, at the same time, irresponsible, provocative and destructive," a statement from the government said. The United States has repeatedly accused Iran of backing Houthi rebels in a nearly three-year civil war in Yemen. In April 2016, the U.S. Navy said it seized a shipment of weapons originating from Iran and heading to the Houthis fighting forces loyal to President Abdu Rabbo Mansour Hadi.

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said the weapons parts are "undeniable proof" that Iran is arming Houthi rebels in Yemen.​

In November, Saudi Arabia, which is leading a coalition of countries supporting Hadi, closed all airports and seaports in Yemen on suspicion the Houthis were smuggling weapons into Yemen. Saudi Arabia has reopened some of the ports, but access for humanitarian shipments to Yemen have been restricted. Fighting in Yemen has led to a crisis in which civilians are facing famine and disease, with supplies further reduced by the blockade.

On Monday, the United Nations said 8 million people are "on the verge of famine." Last week, an alliance between Houthi rebels and forces loyal to former President Ali Abdullah Saleh broke down, and militants killed Saleh at his Sanaa home. The Hadi government controls much of eastern Yemen as well as the southern coast, including the second-largest city of Aden. Rebels control the west, including the capital of Sanaa.
