    Iranian involvement in the conflict in Yemen has been a long one, as far back as September 11, 2009, former Yemeni President Ali Abdallah Salah had appeared on Al-Jazeera TV, accusing Iran of supporting the Houthi rebels with weapons and money.
    Then on January 23, 2013, with President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi in power, the Yemeni coast guard and security services intercepted the Jihan 1, a ship that was enroute to Yemen from Iran, onboard was 40 tons of weapons, many of them manufactured in Iran.
    Included in the haul was large quantities of high explosives (RDX and C4), electronic equipment for detonating IEDs, 122mm Katyusha rockets, shoulder-launched anti-aircraft missiles (MANPADS), and RPGs and RPG launchers. There was also various other equipment, such as Iranian-manufactured night-vision goggles, suppressors for automatic weapons, and ground and naval target-identifying systems, all perfect tools to support guerrilla warfare.

    With Hezbollah intrinsically linked to Iran’s quest for regional domination, it comes as no surprise that the Lebanese militia is now giving extensive support to the Yemeni Shiite opposition terror group the Houthis, in their pursuit to bring down Yemen’s anti-Iranian President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, in a bid to install a regime loyal to Iran.

    They just shot another 7 Burkan's at Riyadh.

    I wonder if 3800 is made up with Afghan and Syrian refugees who has to re-enlist every year if they want to keep their Iranian residency... probably
