Yemen President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi vowed at the United Nations on Friday to “extract Yemen from the claws of Iran” as he accused Tehran of impeding peace by taking a “multitude of actions and interventions.”

A Saudi-led Arab coalition has been fighting Houthi rebels in Yemen since March 2015 in a bid to restore the internationally-backed Hadi to power. Saudi Arabia and Yemen accuse Iran of supplying the rebels with weapons. Iran denies the allegation.

    Iran is looking at a the map and sees the Persian Gulf as theirs, plays in Yemen for the attempt to control the Red Sea and of course plays in Lebanon to try and encircle the Arab Peninsula. Just not working to well.
