<glorious> posts over the past year-------IRAN IS BEHIND THE STUFF IN YEMEN-----IRAN WANTS TO GRAB THE BLACK TURD IN THE SAND OF MECCA and control daummah---------also the many ports of yemen and Arabia that control oil transport IN DA WORLD. Iran has decided that ALEXANDER was really a muslim
Iran has spread its dark tendrils throughout the ME for some time now. They have influence in many dangers in the region.
Look at Qatar, for example. They use to be close to Anti-Iranian nations, but Iran has gained more influence with them, reminding Qatar the US and allies will eventually go home, leaving Iran as the big power / threat in the region...and how it would be beneficial for them to see Iran and their surrogates as 'allies' as well.
Iran is the largest exporter of terrorism in that region...recently having been exposed as having had ties with UBL.
The shake-up in Saudi right now is 'interesting' to say the least. While it is being said to be the King keeping his promise to rid Saudi of corruption, some are calling it a 'power grab'. Iran is opportunistic and will use it if they can.
As for the US, the Saudis have remained friendly with the US because the US has protected the Royal Family's power and control of Saudi. If Saudi officially escalates this event into 'WAR' through retaliation to the Yemen attack, I wonder how it will effect the US...
