Don't they know that only the US can arm rebels out there?
White House spokesman Josh Earnest would not comment specifically on any Navy movements in Yemeni waters, but said the U.S. has concerns about Iran's "continued support for the Houthis.
"We have seen evidence that the Iranians are supplying weapons and other armed support to the Houthis in Yemen. That support will only contribute to greater violence in that country. These are exactly the kind of destabilizing activities that we have in mind when we raise concerns about Iran's destabilizing activities in the Middle East."
He said "the Iranians are acutely aware of our concerns for their continued support of the Houthis by sending them large shipments of weapons."

I get so tired of these war mongering government leaders. The entire population of the world should stand in unison and raise their middle finger to these government leaders. The soldiers and rebels of the world should lay down their rifles and say enough is enough. It's disgusting that the minority who run this world can also destroy it.
