US-Sponsored Yemeni Terror-Bombing Continues<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
by Stephen Lendman<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
US-planned and orchestrated\/Saudi-led terror-bombing continues into its 24th day – more intensively than earlier.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Another Obama atrocity is unfolding in plain sight. Civilians are being deliberately murdered in cold blood.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Some estimates put the death toll at over 2,700 – many thousands more injured. An appalling humanitarian crisis worsens daily.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Iranian President Hassan Rohani condemned aggressor crimes – against “children, elderly women and men in Yemen,” he said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Why do the aggressors not extend a hand of friendship and reconciliation to other nations,” he asked? <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“What is the point in sending financial and arms aid to terrorists in Syria, Lebanon and Iraq?” <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“What is the point in the bombardment of the oppressed and innocent people in Yemen?”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Rohani stressed Iran’s commitment for regional peace and stability, adding:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Our doctrine is not a military and war doctrine but (is) a defense doctrine.” <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Our strategy is always an active deterrent strategy – deterrence to establish peace and security in our country and also in regional states.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
US and Israeli Big Lies claim otherwise. Both countries and rogue partners threaten world peace.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Ongoing regional wars, related violence and chaos attest to their barbarity. They partner in high crimes of war and against humanity – genocide by any standard.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Yemen is Obama’s latest dirty war – complicit with Saudi Arabia and other regional rogue states.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Daily terror-bombing continues. Scores of deaths and injured mount. Saudis lied claiming they’re only attacking Houthi positions.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Clear evidence shows they’re targeting civilian neighborhoods, hospitals, schools, refugee camps, food storage facilities, power stations, and numerous other non-military related sites – selected by Washington to destroy.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
US military personnel are working with Saudis in Riyadh – choosing targets to terror-bomb.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The strategy is longstanding US policy – notably during WW II as well as subsequent multiple acts of direct and proxy naked aggression against nations posing no threat to anyone. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Witnesses report Saudis are using terror weapons against civilians – maybe toxic chemical agents. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Washington and Riyadh are recruiting thousands of IS, Al Qaeda and other Takfiri terrorists as shock troops to battle Houthis in ground fighting.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
They’re relocating others from Syria. According to Lebanon’s Al-Akhbar Arabic language newspaper:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“The Jeish al-Islam terrorists landed in the port city of Al-Mokala, provincial capital of Hazar al-Mout province, and joined (Saudi-recruited) Al Qaeda terrorists in that province.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
They took control of the city. Yemeni army commander Col. Abdel Sattar al-Boushali said Saudis “sent around 5,000 Takfiri mercenaries to fight against the Yemeni army and revolutionary committees.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Separately, Iranian armed forces commander General Hassan Firouzabadi said:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“We have received reports that the US planes visit the ISIL(-controlled) airports.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
They’re delivering weapons and munitions to terrorist fighters. Iranian top international affairs advisor Ali Akbar Velayati added:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Today, we see extremist groups like ISIL which are the proteges of the Americans and do not see any difference between various Muslim sects and group and massacre everyone.” <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“They claim to be supporters of Islam but their behavior and actions are against their words.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
US direct and proxy aggression rages in multiple theaters. Humanity’s survival today more than ever is threatened.<\/div>\n
