The interesting thing is what the reason is why the Houthis raise such claims, and did thnat before with the drone attacks on the refinery. The answer can only be: Iran. Yemen might have gotten underestimated before the war. Which ternalsates into: the amount of Iranian support for Yemen and beefing up its stand in Yemen is what has been underestimated. Should ring some alarm bells.

A lot of groups, either terrorist or freedom fighters would be eliminated without support of their sponsor.

No proof, no links, but you know how gamers think right?
If this little battle that was reported by skybird yesterday Quote:
Then what would prevent the Hourhis from having SA vehicles, communications, uniforms, weapons, from moving around inside SA (say up to the North) with Iran's missiles and drones and launching an attack from where ikalugin's map shows it was probably launched from and then disappearing into the next country over with a little help from Iran? Seems no one can prove where they came from even Iran has taughted everyone with this very same thought. or here's another thought what if the Saudi's did it themselves: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-s...-idUSKBN1WF1T0 Quote:

It almost look like the story of Vietnam is repeating itself
In the beginning the US send instructors to train South Vietnam later US became more and more involved in the fighting I think the same has happened in Yemen in the beginning those Houthi was trained and got weapons from Iran(R.G) and later R.G got more and more involved in the fighting. Markus |

Not much tears shed ..
However, maybe one of the next missiles (regardless where they come from) could accidentally hit Mr Bin Salman?

I agree, it somewhat makes no sense to assume the Saudis would have an interets to threaten their own coat and port facilties with an oil pest.
Which makes it a possibole scenario that Iran again is behind this, to show the diversity of means by which it can strike. Six tankers struck this year, this now is number seven. However, if the tanker, as reported, was sailing black since two months and behaved suspiciously and switched on and off its localiser, maybe the Saudis finally had enough of it and decided to switch it "on" once and for all after it went live again before Suez.
