“The Saudis and Emiratis blame all of this on Iran. I think they’d have to grant, that as has been said, that the Houthis are an internally generated movement in Yemen and the Saudis were supposed to be dealing with the Houthis, who started out in essence along their border. So one of the things that we’re seeing is a complete failure of Saudi policy toward Yemen over the past 10 years, but the Saudis totally believe that the reason the Houthis are able to succeed militarily is the amount of money, advice, and guns they are receiving from Iran.” ThinkingYearsBelieveHas BeensSaidReasonAblePastSeeingAdvicePolicyMovementAmountSucceedGunEssenceBlameSupposed To BeBordersIranGrantsReceivingOver The PastSaudisYemen Author:Elliott Abrams
