Saudi Arabia and allies launched air strikes in Yemen on Thursday to stop the advance of the Iran-allied Houthi militia towards President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi’s southern refuge of Aden.

Saudi Ambassador to Washington Adel al-Jubeir said a coalition of more than 10 countries had joined the military campaign to try to protect Hadi’s government, without naming the countries involved.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar signed a joint statement withSaudi Arabia announcing the military action, leaving Oman as the only member of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) not to join the coalition.

Egypt, Jordan and Sudan said their forces were involved in the operation, with Sudan pledging ground troops as well as warplanes.

Morocco said on Friday it would make forces already stationed in the UAE available to the coalition, and provide intelligence and logistical support.

Pakistan said on Friday it had not decided whether to heed a request for military support from Saudi Arabia, but reaffirmed its support for the kingdom.

The White House said the United States would give logistical and intelligence support.Turkey also declared its support.

Iran demanded an immediate halt to military action, while China expressed concern and called for dialogue.

The following is a list of countries that have confirmed their participation in the coalition:

-Saudi Arabia leads the coalition. Al-Arabiya reported it had deployed 100 fighter jets, 150,000 soldiers and some naval units.

-The UAE signed the GCC statement. Al-Arabiya reported it had deployed 30 fighter jets.

-Bahrain signed the GCC statement. Al-Arabiya reported it had deployed 15 fighter jets.

-Kuwait signed the GCC statement. Al-Arabiya reported it had deployed 15 fighter jets.

-Qatar signed the GCC statement. Al-Arabiya reported it had deployed 10 fighter jets.

-Jordan said its fighter jets were involved in the operation. Al-Arabiya said six Jordanian jets were involved.

-Sudan said its air and ground forces would take part in the operation. Al-Arabiya said three Sudanese fighter jets were involved.

-Egypt said its naval and air forces were involved in the campaign. Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry said ground forces could become involved “if necessary”.

-Morocco said it would make its forces stationed in the UAE available to the coalition. It has UAE-based fighter jets that have been used in operations against Islamic State but did not confirm media reports this was what it had in mind.

    Saudi Arabia and its allies didnt inform America about their bombing campaign fearing that Obama might inform Iran …..Well the Saudi Arabia and USA are in a truce for a long time. But it seems Obama is going to ruin that. Mean while the Pro Obama Shits in Iran continuing calling Obama in their prayer i.e. Ya Hussain Ya Hussain (The middle name of Obama!!)

      See Wargame why YOU cannot be trusted. Misinformation like what you wrote is why people in the USA think the Arabs are backstabbers. Did you really think that all these movements on the border between KSA and Yemen remain unnoticed by the USA? Do you really think that KSA would make such a move without consulting with the US? Worst of all, Do you really think that Obama was going to call the Iranians?…
      3ayb!

        Saudi Arabia should make these move consulting with the USA as they are in a truce. Its a matter of principle. But they didnt because of the Iranian stooge Obama trying to help Iran make a Nuke. The Truce between the Arabs and the Romans will break eventually. The Romans will make four truce with the Arabs and they will break the truce and attack the Arabs later. But there is a good outcome from one of these truce…i.e. The Romans and the Arabs will jointly attack Iran and disintegrate Iran in to pieces. Now, that truce will happen much later and AFTER the Roman invasion of Egypt.

          We can’t really enter in a debate if you’re basing your analysis on obscure prophecies with variable interpretations. This is unscientific and illogical. You need to base your arguments on facts.
          The facts are: KSA would never ever take that step without the consent and full support of the US. And it has both!
          Be grateful and start embracing this alliance that is after all for your benefit. Stop the misinformation campaign against those who have helped you and while prophecies are amusing they are not science you can base your arguments upon.

            Zu Mukhammar said I heard the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) say, ” You will make a Hudna (Truce Agreement) with the Romans, and together you and them will invade an enemy (located) behind you. You will be victorious, take much booty, and you will leave. Then, you will camp on a hilly pasture. When one of the Romans will approach (the Muslim army), raise a cross and says “The Cross has won”, one of the Muslims will get angry and take off the Cross. Then, the Romans will trick (bluff or deceive) you, and gather (prepare) for the Malhama (War). They will gather an army against you and come against you with eighty banners, each banner followed by 10,000 (or 12,000) men.” (Ahmad, Abu Dawud, and Ibn Majah)

            ———————————————————-
            Among the four truce this one seems the truce when Saudi Arabia and Europe/USA attacked Soviet Union. And later the Roman broke the truce and attacked the Muslims. There are more than 65 countries coalition attacked Afghanistan! The final truce will be to attack Iran! and then the Roman will break the truce again and invade whole Syria except the Mataq mountain in Homs and Damascus.

        Abu Umamah says that Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said: ” There will be four Hudna (truces) between you and the Romans. The fourth (truce) will be mediated through a person who will be from the descendants of (Prophet) Aaron عليه السلام (or ” from the descendants of Heracles “according to Nuaim bin Hammad) and will be upheld for seven years. The people asked: ‘OMessenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم , who will be the Imam of the people at the time? ‘ He said: ‘( Nuaim bin Hammad mentions ‘The Mahdi ‘) He will be from my progeny and will be forty years of age. His face will be a shining star and he will have a small black spot on his right cheek. He will wear two Qutwaaniataan cloaks as if he is a man from the Israelites. He will reign for 20 years,extract the treasures, and conquer the cities of Shirk (Polytheism).” (Tabrani, Nuaim bin Hammad’sKitab Al-Fitan)

        The prophesy has two person , one os a descendant of Aaron and another is a descendant of Herecles. Its rare to make such match when you find John McCain and David Cameron.

        David Cameron ‘may be directly descended from Moses’ Dr Yaakov Wise at the University of Manchester has traced Cameron’s ancestry traced right back to a famous Jewish scholar of the 16th century. Levita is the Latin form of the name Levite, a Jew descended from the Tribe of Levi, the son of Jacob and one of the original twelve tribes of Israel.
        He said: ‘It is possible that Cameron is a direct descendant of Moses or, at least, a cousin.
        “The leader of the Levites at the time of the exodus from Egypt was Moses”.

      All the past and current events are building up to ww3 and unravelling the prophecies clearly before our eyes. People who are naive will keep disbelieving and stay hateful.
      These are the pre-planned evil games of powers in which most states are involved who wants to bring 1wo…and the Dajjal. Things you see or they want you to see and what goes on behind are not the same! Things which are destined and were prophecised are bound to happen no matter how much one wants to deny or give justifications on the contrary!!
