Though Iranian state media hasn’t mentioned the fact at all, US military officials claim a naval convoy of between seven and nine Iranian ships is moving somewhere in the vicinity of Yemen.
Details are scant, but officials said only some of the ships may have been armed, and that they might conceivably get into a fight with Saudi ships at some point.
There’s no reason to think that’s actually the case, beyond Pentagon speculation, though Saudi Arabia, which is attacking Yemen right now, has made clear they won’t allow any Iranian ships into Yemeni national waters.
The US speculation is probably warrantless at this point anyhow, as they previously were hysterical about two Iranian ships, one of them a destroyer, being deployed to the region on an anti-piracy operation, but those ships did exactly what they said they were doing, and never picked a fight with the Saudi navy.
NEWS FLASH — President of Iran just announced —
“No, were not sending arms to the new government of Yemen, but, if Saudi corruption does not stop bombing babies in Yemen, in about six seconds we shall surely send them our entire Army, Navy and Air Force.”
Other news stories report that the Saudis and Egyptians have blockaded food shipments. A ship with over 40,000 tons of food that was finally cleared by the Egyptians was then stopped for another week for another "inspection."
Nine ships? How many are carrying the food that the "West" won't let in to areas that are already in food shortage?
Weapons? That is the excuse for stopping all the other food ships, although no weapons were found on any of them.
Maybe the Iranians are shipping some arms too. That is what the Saudis get for cutting off the food.
Oh, I didn't know Saudi Arabia was now the overlords of Yemen. When could another country dictate who can enter another country's ports?
