OK, best translation I could do....

It’s hard for us to prove the involvement of the Syrian regime in supporting the Hawthis in Yemen, but the day is coming that will confirm our thoughts that this regime has allied itself with the Hawthis by supporting them in Yemen or in Cairo, as one of their leaders there converted to Shi’ism and fled to Damascus, which gave him asylum. The Syrian regime desperately seeks to spread Shi’ism to Lebanon, Iraq, and the Gulf States, and attract scores of students to Shi’ism and teach them about it in seminaries now deployed in Syria....

The Hawthis have publicly urged Tehran and Iraq to open an office for them in Baghdad and to create new settlements in Iran to defend their spies in the Gulf. Taking these risks will cost the Hawthis much by forcing them to give up other issues such as pressuring the Syrian regime to smuggle weapons to the Shi’ites in eastern Saudi Arabia. This strategy now would be solely in the Syrian regime’s hands.

Of course, here’s another brief not from a jihad site.

Yemen President: Iran Supports Yemen Houthi Rebels

Yemen President Ali Abdallah Saleh yesterday told Al-Jazeera TV that unofficial Iranian elements and Iraqi Shi’ite leader Moqtada Al-Sadr were in direct contact with the Houthi rebels in Yemen, and that they had even secretly offered to mediate between the Houthis and the Yemen government.

Iran denied the allegations, but Al-Sadr’s supporters acknowledged that they had made such mediation attempts in an effort to resolve the crisis by diplomatic means.
