The United States is reportedly set to unveil what it says is evidence of Iran giving missiles to Houthi rebels in Yemen.
Nikki Haley, the US Ambassador tot he United Nations, was set to show in Washington parts of a short-range ballistic missile launched by Houthi rebels into Saudi Arabia, NBC News reported.
Mrs Haley was also expected to present other examples of Iran flouting UN sanctions.
On November 4 the missile launched form Yemen was shot down by a Saudi surface-to-air missile, and came down near Riyadh airport. Saudi Arabia said it held Iran responsible, with Iran calling the claim "malicious".The latest US move came as suspected Saudi-led airstrikes in Yemen killed at least 23 people, including prisoners, at a rebel military police camp.
The Saudi-led coalition has intensified its campaign against the Shia Houthi rebels since the killing of former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh earlier this month.
Saudi Arabia has been fighting the Iran-backed Houthis since March 2015 and has imposed a blockade on the impoverished country, allowing only occasional humanitarian access.
The stalemate war has killed more than 10,000 civilians, displaced three million, crippled Yemen's health system and pushed the Arab world's poorest country to the brink of famine.

Iran-Back Hezbollah Controls LebanonTerrorism

Iran-Back Hezbollah Controls LebanonTerrorism 21 February 2018 Iran Focus London, 21 Feb - In recent years, when the US has made statements against Iran-backed Hezbollah, they have often followed this up with support for the Lebanese army and security forces, but it is becoming increasingly clear that there is little, if any, distinction between the Lebanese state and the Iran-backed terrorist group. When US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson arrived in Beirut, last Thursday, Hezbollah had created two new problems with Israel: a southern border wall and the debates over oil and gas extraction. This caused Tillerson to make the US position on Hezbollah very clear. Hezbollah is a terrorist organisation with no difference between its military and political wings. He advised that Hezbollah and Iran were creating tensions in the region in order to destabilise the Middle East. Iran seeks the destruction to distract others from its own problems, both domestic and international. It not only ta...

Iran-Backed Hezbollah Accuses Saudi Arabia of Arresting Lebanon Prime Minister10 November 2017 Iran Focus London, 10 Nov - The Secretary-General of the Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorist group is blaming Saudi Arabia for the shock resignation of Lebanese Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri this weekend with no actual evidence to back up his claims. Hassan Nasrallah claimed that Hariri has been arrested in Riyadh, even claiming to be seriously worried about Hariri’s safety and calling upon Saudi Arabia to “give us back our prime minister”. This is, of course, designed to detract attention from the reasons that Hariri actually gave for his resignation in a speech on Saturday from Saudi Arabia. Hariri said that he feared that the Iranian Regime and Hezbollah were going to assassinate him, as they did to his father in 2005, when under the orders of Mustafa Badr al-Din.

REGIME IS SCARED OF THE MEK’S POPULARITY IN IRAN Created: 25 January 2018 Iran Maryam Rajavi NCRI PMOI/MEK Protests United States Inside Iran IRGC Demonstration People of Iran Maryam Rajavi's poster hanged in Tehran Make no mistake, the Iranian Regime is absolutely terrified of not just the Iranian people, but also the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (MEK). This fear can be seen in the pro-regime protests that the mullahs organized, where paid protesters held signs like “Green Movement is supporter of Rajavi”, and in the many comments from Regime leaders themselves. It seems like even the Iranian Regime is being forced to admit that the Iranian Resistance is incredibly popular amongst the Iranian people. In early January, Supreme Leder Ali Khamenei said that the protest had been organized by the MEK months ago. He was trying to imply that the Iranian people had been manipulated by enemies of the Regime- apparently forgetting that the Iranian people are enemies of the Regim...
