The Iranian regime has been fanning the flames of violence in Yemen to destabilize that country.
On October 14, Saudi daily Al-Jazirah published an analysis of the development, an excerpt of which is as follows:
“Officials in Yemen recently discovered that an Iranian hospital in [the Yemen capital] Sana’a was used to store arms and fund the Huthi rebels. The development is nothing new when it comes to the Iranians.”
“The Iran Iraq War had its roots in the shooting against a column of official cars from inside an Iranian school in Baghdad. At the time, Iraqis discovered that the school was used as a center for armed opponents of the government. The al-Dawa party, which had launched an armed campaign, used the school as a training ground. It then carried out terrorist attacks against the Iraqi government at the time in Baghdad.”
“Today there are so many similarities with yesterday. Officials in Yemen were forced to seal off the Iranian hospital when they became certain that it was used for purposes other than to provide medical care. The street where the hospital is located, 60th Street, is where security and political organs are also located in Sana’a. The hospital was being used as a location to gather intelligence about Yemen’s security organs.”
“Officials in Yemen have obtained evidence that proves the Houthi tribe’s links to Iran. The evidence also shows links between Houthis and the so-called Southern Movement with al-Qaeda and Iran’s Qods Force.”
“Iran’s manipulative penetration into the Arab world’s security would be advanced by undermining Yemen’s territorial integrity, turning Yemen into three separate governments. Imagine what would happen if at the south of the Arabic island a government like that of Hassan Nasrallah’s in Lebanon, which flamed all the tension and problems in Lebanon, were to spring up. What would happen to a country two of whose governments would be controlled by Iran? Then, if the third government was to decide to join the other two and pursue plans of destruction and plots against Arab security, no one would be able to stop it.”
