Guardian: Reports " Yemeni minister urges Gulf Arab military intervention against Houthis..Foreign minister Riyadh Yaseen calls for Gulf Cooperation Council’s military force to help stop advance of Iranian-backed Shia Houthi fighters "
Lets Get Real:
The Obama Administration has a problem, the Tehran Regime is supporting Iraqi Forces against IS, on a pure tactical level that works for the Oval Office, at least is not Western troops fighting IS. On the strategic level this means that the US is on the same page as the Tehran Regime and the Assad Regime in Syria when it comes to IS. On the other hand Yemen was seen as a successful part of the Obama foreign policy, that has gone up in smoke. The Gulf States do not trust Iran, and because the Oval wants a deal so badly the Gulf States do not trust the Obama's America. It will be interesting to see if the Gulf States take action, this would mean that other US allies will threaten any deal with Iran, it can be postulated that Iran will place pressure on the US to make sure its Gulf States allies do not act, power playing in the Middle East can be complex.
