Nasrallah's speech reveals Iran's shock over the Yemen crisis
An interesting analysis of what may come next. The money quote,
The Yemeni affair is still in the beginning but what Nasrallah and Iran fear is that Yemen may be the beginning of a certain phase and not at the end of a specific phase, as Tehran had hoped. They're afraid it may be the beginning of a new Arab approach on how to deal with current crises in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. In clearer words, Iran is afraid that the Arab stance may become different in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon.
I'd add that the enemy of your enemy is your friend. The US by bombing IS may well find themselves on the wrong side in this conflict.
