Saudi fighter jets flew over Yemen to bomb the pockets of Iranian-backed insurrection there.
Now that the American incursion in Iraq has delivered it to the Shiites and Obama’s overtures to Assad have resulted in a Hezbollah government in Lebanon, the Saudis can ill afford to have Iran controlling Yemen as well.
The Saudis are furious at Obama for letting Iran acquire nuclear weapons, which would spell unrest in the Saudi oil field region, which has been settled by Shiites. The Saudis, accordingly, are conducting independent military actions in Yemen, and are likely to cooperate with Israel against Iran.
