US Navy stationing aircraft carrier and escort ship in Yemeni waters to intercept Iranian weapons sh

What is stopping Iran from shipping such from Oman?

According to some reports, Oman and Iran are on good terms, and as long as Oman is kept out of the fighting of its neighbor, it would not be too hard to have such sent through its country. Iran could also use the conflict in Yeman to justify helping out the country of Oman, selling it arms and even having military advisers there to give them advice on how to proceed.

Eh, they always talk tough but never act on it. All bark, no bite. I'd dare say all miltary leaders talk the talk. Unless Iran is attacked first they will do nothing, my guess.

The hypocrisy of the USA is freaking driving me mad!! So we can destabilize any and all countries we feel the need and God forbid any other country or opposition try to defend itself. He gall of these sick pricks in power makes me so angry and yet I feel like I'm insane that this is normal and accepted.....what the ffffffff....

But, but, but....,,,, The Iranian government claims they're not sending weapons to Yemen.

So their shouldn't be a problem.

Oil future prices most likely will rise now, no matter what happens there. Easy way to justify commissions and profits.

I would imagine at this time they don't want to agree with the US on much of anything.

Yea. They just want to off load a shipment of Girl Scout cookies. Poor things.

Its just a power struggle. Sure both sides do the same thing. Both take the moral high ground at home but have no illusions about each other. Both have the PR program running but this has nothing to do with reality.

Great the peace prize winner rushing to get us involved in a civil war... And some idiots still think there is a lick of difference between him and bush.

So I guess this is irrelevant then-

just one minute, no need to bring in bush

a reply to: higherconscience

The source is another issue.

They like to trot this out even though there is nothing to support it. They grasp to this topic and tweak it as they go to support their false claims.

My guess would be they would denounce Gen. Clarks latest assessment of Russia and Putin considering it doesn't support their propaganda.

Well Iran just did their practice attack on a US carrier with all their little motorboats so they are prepared to sink a cardboard carrier. When they attack the real thing and all die, then there will be a story here.

Actually the pretend carrier did not sink hilariously enough.

RIGHT?

Considering that did not happen I would hope no one would take that source seriously.

I'm scared

So no food relief for the Yemeni civilians then.
Saudi forces just bombed a UNICEF supply depot - having been supplied the coordinates of such depots by UNICEF already - which is a war crime, deliberately hitting civilian targets.

And now we get the booga booga about Iranian ships heading for Yemen laden with military hardware. Of course, there is zero proof that those ships contain the alleged weapons, but hey , they are Iranian, so they must be full of weapons and terrorists.... right?

With Israel also running bombing missions into Yemen, it presents a perfect opportunity for them to also bomb Iranian ships as another provocation. Keep prodding all the time so that Nutty-yahoo and other like minded chosenite murderers can get their war.

Yemen is the country they are trying to defend. It's government is being attacked. Not sure you get that??

Very Odd Since SaudI Arabia decided to end the air campaign. So I'm thinking where ever you heard this didn't quite have all the facts. Saudis say that they have ended there operation and now moving in ground forces to protect the civilian populations.

a reply to: dragonridr

Where have saudi said they are moving in ground forces? all the reports I see say they have stopped airstrikes but no mention of a ground incursion?

not saying your wrong, just want to see the details

a reply to: dragonridr

Apologies, it was an OXFAM compound, not UNICEF. Still a war crime to deliberately target civilian installations, although I don't expect to see the MSM or the western governments holding the Saudi's responsible for any of this as, lets be honest, our own forces have done so as well many times.

sputniknews.com...

So, the Saudis say they have stopped the bombing and are sending in ground forces to "protect the civilian population"? The ones they have been bombing all this time?

a reply to: dragonridr

Or to put it another way.... the people in Yemen just threw out another US installed and backed puppet, and now they must pay.
