Trump suggests Iran is lying when it denies involvement in drone strike on Saudi oil industry
It’s fairly clear that this was a strike at the Saudi oil industry in retaliation for sanctions on Iran. Did the Iranians model their drones on the U.S. drone they seized and refused to give back while Obama was President? Did they finance the strike with the billions Obama showered upon them? In any case, […]
Yemen: Children take up arms, scream “Allahu akbar, Death to USA, Death to Israel, curse on Jews, triumph of Islam”
Note that they see the conflict they are being trained to fight exclusively in Islamic terms. Cue the establishment counterterror analysts to explain to us that they don’t really mean it. Imagine the fun when these children meet the children who will go to, say, Stanford, or the University at Buffalo, or any other college […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: The Saudi-UAE Coalition Has Cut Deals with Al-Qaeda in Yemen (Part Two)
Meanwhile, AQAP (Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula) continues to operate in Yemen, and its ranks are replenished, both from local converts and from AQAP members who have flocked to the country from outside.

Hugh Fitzgerald: The Saudi-UAE Coalition Has Cut Deals with Al-Qaeda in Yemen (Part One)
Amid all over the furor over the possible murder of Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi regime thugs, it is useful to remember that in Yemen, the Saudi-UAE forces that have been fighting against the Shi’a Houthis, backed by Iran, are naturally supported by the Americans.

Saudi Arabia says missile attack on Riyadh by Iran-backed jihadis an “act of war” by Iran
Sunni/Shi’ite jihad reaching a boiling point. Could it erupt into full-scale war? Easily. “Saudi Arabia declare missile attack on Riyadh by Iran-backed rebels an ‘act of war’ and accuse Tehran of ‘blatant military aggression,’” by Alex Matthews, Mailonline, November 6, 2017: Saudi Arabia has declared a missile attack on Riyadh by Iran-backed rebels an ‘act […]
Yemen: Niqab-wearing women chant “Death to America! Death to Israel! A curse upon the Jews! Victory to Islam!”
“Forceful against the Infidels” is from the Qur’an: “Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; and those with him are forceful against the infidels, merciful among themselves.” (48:29) Clearly these Yemeni Shi’ite women think that their conflict with the U.S. and Israel has something to do with Islam. Perhaps Pope Francis and Theresa May can go […]
USS Mason again fired upon off the coast of Yemen
This is the money Obama gave to Iran at work. “After the earlier attempted missile attacks this week, a Defense Department official warned that those who fire on U.S. vessels do so at their peril.” In this age of Obama, no words were ever emptier. “USS Mason Fired on Again Off Coast of Yemen: Officials,” […]

Yemen: Saudi-led warplanes hit Shi’ite funeral, killing 140
The Sunni-Shi’ite jihad kills far more people every year than “Islamophobia” (which is a trumped-up concept that kills no one), but the latter gets far more attention than the former. The moneyed forces that have brought about this situation need to be exposed. “Attack on mourners in Yemen kills more than 140, say local health […]
US seizes thousands of Iranian weapons, including grenade launchers

Ramadan in Yemen: Islamic State explodes car bomb at Shi’ite mosque
“The car bomb, at the Al-Raoudh mosque in southeast Sanaa, went off as worshippers were leaving after evening prayers, witnesses and a security official said.” That was so as to maximize the carnage. “In a brief statement posted on jihadist websites, Islamic State said it had ‘taken revenge’ against the Huthi rebels who have seized […]
