Maybe these knuckleheads will take each other out.

Let's hope the Saudi's don't engage the Iranians directly. And the US should stay out of it. No way the US is going to solve the Sunni / Shia split.

It's about time the Saudis were bombed by someone. It would serve them right for funding global terrorism.

Iran's navy re-supplying the Houthis. US arming the Saudis. IS trying to stake their claim in the fight. Chinese navy evacuating their nationals and other foreigners from Yemen as it continues its freefall. The ME is the hot spot and so go the gears of war-

Ha! What a load of crap. Time to turn off FOX news pal, that is unless you can provide a credible link to prove your claim.

Why are they there then? To deter "pirates"? The last 48 hrs has seen a lot of significant naval (iranian) activity off the Yemenese coast. With the delay of all sanctions being lifted and the US cooperating with the Saudis, I'd say Iran would be willing to take such action.

Well there would probably need to be some kind of direct link and communication, not some incident where both of them happen to be shooting at the same enemy. For example, Russia and the Nazis in Donbass were direct allies, talking to each other, planning the elections, exchanging information, arms, money, support, etc. That's probably what you mean by "allies".

If you do some reading on the issue, the answers will come to you. You've been here asking the same questions for weeks which means you haven't put any work in yourself.

Oh yeah, the fun is only beginning......This religious war has been brewing a long time and Yemen might just be the battleground! No wonder Iran wants the ability to produce nukes.
Iran will do and say whatever they have to get a nuke and President Obama has his eyes shut.
FizzBit
Oh please, stop with the typical petrodollar propaganda. This has always been about 2007 when Iran was going to launch the Iranian Oil Bourse (IOB), like a stock exchange, where all countries could trade in euros, as an alternative to the US dollar. Guess what? No more massive debt for the US and a Federal Reserve nightmare.
All this fake nuke stuff since 2007 has been just cover for the TV masses. Don't believe me? Look it up.
Olegek
Sorry - what exactly US NAVY doing in this region ?
So far away from home ?
