    The #Houthis are not #Iran's proxies, Flynn. US intelligence reported they rejected Iran's advice not to ocupy Sanaahttp://huff.to/1EjnwNr

        That statement by Flynn was pretty scary. As career intel guy, rly surprised he'd make such concrete connex betw Houthis/iran

        .@joanneleon He's a professional intel guy, true, but he's also got some screws loose, and his view of Iran is one of them.

        @XainGardezi @HuffPostPol They do recieve funds and arms from Iran. Houthis are a minority who have no right to dominate Yemen

        All I'm saying is, Houthis/Shia are not a majority in Yemen. Iran's trying to create Shia regimes all over

        To me, both Saudis and Iran seem like petty tyrants. Ruining other's countries for petty gains @GarethPorter @XainGardezi
