General Assembly on Saturday, adding that "the Iranian regime supports Yemen’s Houthi ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews... militias in threatening neighboring countries". Bahrain Foreign Minister Sheikh Khalid bin Ahmed bin Mohammed Al Khalifa told the UN that the regime in Iran is adopting a policy of sabotage and supporting terrorism in the region and that achieving lasting security requires a strategic alliance between the countries of the region. In a related context, the Bahraini foreign minister called Iran "to stop interfering in the internal affairs of Iraq" while stressing Bahrain’s support for "the efforts to restore Syria to its entire territory and expel the Iranian militias from them" reiterating the need to reach a political solution to the crisis in Syria. |
