| [IsraelTimes] Said to be backed by Iran, the Houthis are poised to become the Hezbollah of the world’s poorest and most unstable nation The capital of Yemen, the Arab world’s poorest and perhaps most chronically unstable nation, has new masters. Anti-American Iranian catspaws man checkpoints and roam the streets in pickups mounted with anti-aircraft guns. The fighters control almost all state buildings, from the airport and the central bank to the Defense Ministry. Only a few coppers and soldiers are left on the streets. Rebel fighters have plastered the city with fliers proclaiming their slogan — “Death to America™, death to Israel, a curse on the Jews and victory to Islam” — a variation of a popular Iranian slogan often chanted by Shiite turbans in Iraq and supporters of Leb’s Hezbollah. |
