UN experts find 'growing' evidence Iran sending weapons to Houthi rebels in war-torn Yemen

United Nations experts are warning of a "growing body of evidence" that Iran is sending weapons to Houthi rebels in war-torn Yemen, in a report that warns of a deteriorating situation in the country with "devastating consequence" for the civilian population.

(excerpt)

The evidence includes anti-tank guided missiles, sniper rifles and RPB launchers all with markings consistent with those made in Iran.

The Trump administration had warned of moves by Iran to destabilize the Middle East by arms sales, and attempted to reimpose a broader arms embargo, as well as other sanctions that were expiring as part of the 2015 Iran deal -- but faced pushback from allies and others at the U.N. that scuppered the effort.

Growing evidence. Conclusive evidence will come when Iran is able to provide the Houthis with small nuclear devices for terror attacks.

Another “No shit Sherlock” moment from the UN.

Gee, it thought their “moment” about Wuhan, Red China possibly being the source of COVID 19 was a good one. /sarc

As long as they’re not being used against Americans, I’m cool.
After all, dead Sunnis or dead Shias? Both are good.

Unfortunately, we have US soldiers, advisors, intelligence agents, and support staff scattered across the Middle East. So, there weapons will more than likely be used against US personel eventually.

Just what I was going to say. Really shows how up to date the UN is. Where were they when B.Hussein and the fake Irishman John Kerry were financing terror via Iran, financing the very terrorists that were killing our troops? And Trump gets impeached for making an effin phone call?

The Houthis are still bad. Their slogan is: “God is Greater, Death to America, Death to Israel, Curse on the Jews, Victory to Islam”.

The only sides the CIA does not supply nor control outright is patriots/freedom fighters in America, and freedom fighters in any other country. Unless it is a trap.

You know exactly what I meant- All Muslims are bad the Shia are a minority in Islam. The Sunni’s are the ones to fear will dominate and take over parts of the West not the Shia.
