#4 Anyway to ramp up the Shia Sunni war? Seems like Yemen is cooling off. I'd like to see more involvement of KSA v. Iran. Maybe KSA could bring in some Malaysian hot heads?

#5 Not necessarily a ramp-up. But it will give the IRGC a core group of future (surviving) senior leaders with combat experience.

#9 Not quite. More along the lines of what the Brits still do in 'releasing' troops for service in other countries' militaries.
