Iran abandons Houthis under relentless US bombardment
Story by Akhtar Makoii • 1h

Iran has ordered military personnel to leave Yemen, abandoning its Houthi allies as the US escalates an air strike campaign against the rebel group.

A senior Iranian official said the move aimed to avoid direct confrontation with the US if an Iranian soldier was killed.

The official said Iran was also scaling back its strategy of supporting a network of regional proxies to focus on the direct threats from the US instead.
 
Tehran’s primary concern, the source said, was “Trump and how to deal with him”.

Uh, why were "Iranian military personnel" in Yemen in the first place?
The elimination of the evil Soviet Union was one of the most glorious moments in Human History!!

To see what Iran might look like if they don't get reasonable?
