Mosa, every muslim on this planet knows that the Islam practiced in KSA is not Sunni Islam. Give me another term, an I will use that. Doesn't matter if you go to Libya, Lebanon or Iran, people know your version of Islam as Wahabi Islam.
And how did Iran support the Houtis exactly? Tell me please. I'm all ears.
Don't give me American news articled btw. Give me facts and I'm ready to accept them if there is any truth to them. I'm looking for pics of Iranian made RPG's and rifles, captured Iranians, ANYTHING. Give me something that backs your claim.
You guys call all shias on this planet Iranian.
No you don;t understand Abii. We are practicing ISLAM. period. Wahhabism is a term created by Iran and their boot lickers to distance Saudi Arabia from the Muslim world. And please do tell. What is in our practice that is so unislamic?? (Don't give me the driving thing please but actual religion stuff not society stuff)
Iran and Hezbollah
There have been a number of alleged Iranian involvements in the Sa'dah insurgency to aid the Houthis, including:
The Saudi and Yemeni governments both accuse Shia Iran of helping the Houthis. Iran, they say, has secretly landed arms on the Red Sea coast. In October, 2009, Yemen’s government said its navy intercepted an arms-carrying Iranian vessel. Yemen’s state-controlled press claims Houthi rebels have been trained in an Iranian-run camp across the Red Sea in Eritrea. Yemen’s president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, says members of Lebanon’s Iran-backed Hizbullah militia are teaching them. The Yemeni authorities also darkly note that the Houthis’ long-time leader, Hussein al-Houthi, who died in battle in 2004, used to visit Qom, one of Shia Iran’s holiest cities.[21] None of these accusations have yet been borne out by independent observers and the Iranians deny any involvement.
Alarabiya.net quoted well-informed sources as saying that "the president of the former South Yemen (Ali Salim al-Bidh) conducted a secret visit to the Lebanese capital Beirut last October (2009), and tried to contact figures close to Hizbullah aiming to win its support for the Huthi rebels, and for South (Yemen's) secession." The sources added that those Hizbullah-allied figures "informed al-Bidh that the party's top officials do not want to meet with him and that they do not approve the attribution of Hizbullah's name with what is happening in Yemen, or to appear as supporting to any rebellion." Ibrahim al-Mussawi, Head of Hizbullah's Media Unit, told Alarabiya.net that his party denies the report about an alleged secret visit.[115]
High-ranking officials from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard were said to have secretly met with Huthi rebels and Hizbullah in Yemen to coordinate joint military operations against Saudi positions along the border. Pan-Arab Asharq al-Awsat daily said Arab and Egyptian sources uncovered that a number of intelligence services in the region have learned of the three-way meeting which also aimed at developing a plan to escalate the military situation along the Saudi-Yemeni border. It said the high-level meeting which took place in November, 2009 was the most prominent evidence of "direct Iranian involvement" in the support of Huthi rebels financially, militarily and logistically.[116]
Yemeni Foreign Minister Abu Bakr al-Kurbi on 13 December 2009 urged Tehran to crack down on Iranian groups he accused of aiding Huthi rebels in northern Yemen and held Iran's government partly to blame. He said: "Religious (Shiite) circles and groups in Iran are providing aid to the Huthis," However, Iran has repeatedly denied such accusations.[117]
On 25 May Iran first deployed warships to the Gulf of Aden to combat Piracy in Somalia.[118] On 20 January 2010 On 18 November a second group of Iranian warships came to the Gulf of Aden, at the same time as Saudi Arabia imposed a blockade on Houthi controlled coasts and launched a crackdown on Houthi ships delivering weapons to the Houthis.[118] Iran dispatched it's 5th fleet to the Gulf of Aden.[119] Some have alleged that the Iranian Navy is operating there to help supply the Houthis with weapons and counter the Saudi naval power in the area rather than to fight Somali pirates.

That is a wikipedia source but each one has a source to it. Also look at the Persian version of this page. Also read Iranian media on the subject pretty much calling Houthis heroes and stuff. Houthis are just another Iranian Proxy.
Ironically, there is more data about Saudi's involvement than Iran's. Saudi's are denying everything, so does Iran. I wouldnt be surprised if both sides were involved to increase their influence, with more direct Saudi involvement.
