| [AnNahar] The United States has stepped up weapons deliveries in support of a Saudi-led coalition resisting the advance of Iranian catspaws in Yemen, a senior U.S. official said Tuesday. "Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... is sending a strong message to the Huthis and their allies that they cannot overrun Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... by force," Deputy Secretary of State Antony Blinken told news hounds in the Saudi capital. "In support of that effort we have expedited weapons deliveries," he said after talks with Defense Minister Mohammed bin Salman and other Saudi officials. "We've increased our intelligence sharing, and we've established a joint coordination planning cell in the Saudi operations center." |
