The Iranians just keep escalating the conflict in the Gulf. It is remarkable how far they are willing to go to support their extremist Houthi allies fighting the Yemeni and Saudi government.First, Iran reacted to the Saudi naval blockade by sending their own warships to the Gulf of Aden. Then, the Iranians tried to instigate riots during the hajj in Saudi Arabia. Now, this:
The Kuwaiti daily Al-Siyassa reports, citing Iranian sources, that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) has submitted to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei a plan to take over the Yemen and Saudi Embassies in Tehran, like the U.S. Embassy takeover in 1979.
The plan, which the report says includes kidnapping Saudi and Yemeni diplomats, was drawn up on Khamenei’s instructions, with the aim of pressuring both countries to stop fighting the Houthi rebels in northern Yemen.
