If he is legitimate then he should step down because his presidential term has ended.

How come Nathanyahu is elected for a 4th term?

 

[GBU-28]

Yes because they don't want a strong Sunni front either. So the Shia front helps balance power in region. If Sunni front takes control/influence of Syria/Yemen it will be assumed as a threat by West. That with Iraq, it would mean Sunni empire. Which West will immediately attack. There is actually hadith that there will be alliance with West against an enemy in Persia and even maybe beyond that. The hadith further states after this war immediately we will get attacked by the West and that's when the great massacres begin. Some hadith say 1/3 of Sham(Egypt Lebanon Palestine Syria) population will die in that war. And Mahdi will be around that time.

How do you explain the US supporting Saddam against Iran in the 80's?

And the US being anti-Hezbollah and wanting to remove them from Lebanon with the disarmament resolution.

And training up Sunni rebels against Assad.

Not exactly anti-Sunni moves by the US there.

How come Nathanyahu is elected for a 4th term?

Because he's been elected.

A proper election, not a mickey mouse one.

 

[Superboy]

And training up Sunni rebels against Assad.

Most soldiers in Syrian army are Sunnis

Hezbollah going on anti-Palestinian rant right now regarding situation in Yemen.

Hassan Nasrallah is speaking in name of Iran, expressing dissappointment at Abbas's decision to support Saudi campaign. But he tied this to Gaza and proposed a question of what will our reaction be in next attack on Gaza(meaning we won't care). Which isn't a problem to us. Our ties with Iranian led axis are completely non-exisistent. At least with Hamas.

This is typical Arab behavior when they're powerless, they begin bashing us Palestinians. Because Iran is pissed off at situation in Yemen and can't respond at all, it's making Hezbollah condemn Palestinians. Because Palestinians are even more powerless. What we Palestinians want is to keep us out of your sectarian proxy regional war. We can take care of ourselves. But stop mentioning us and don't involve us or blame us for your situation in the region.

People uprose against Gaddafi when Gaddafi was 69 years old. People uprose against Hadi when Hadi was 69 years old. Looks like people really don't want 70 years old presidents.

You forgot Hosni Mubarak.

 

[Superboy]

You forgot Hosni Mubarak.

yeah but he was older when people uprose against him

Iran gave a lot of Sayyad rifles to Hamas which was crucial for fending off Israeli invasion last year. The least Hamas could do is protest Saudi invasion of Yemen.

How come Nathanyahu is elected for a 4th term?

1) Its not in row. He was kicked in 1999 elections and then came back.
2) None of his terms was full 4 years, each time his coalition collapsed in 2-3 years.
3) He never had absolute power. For example currently he controls only 30 seats out of 120 in Parliament. Plus independent press and courts.

4 Mig-29s shot down by the RSAF according to Al-Hadath on TV.

Iran and Hamas have no ties at all. They ended in 2011. Those weapons were from before. And they're minor weapons aid. Hamas isn't going to get involved in anything.

All of their weapons today,none come from Hezbollah or Iran.

Only people who claim this are Israelis. Partially because propaganda against Iran. But also to save face when small independent group can take them on, it's embarrasing so they try to propoagate lies that it's because support from nations.

KSA has launched air strikes against Houthis in Yemen at the early hours of today Thursday March 26th. Al Hazim Storm عاصفة الحزم is the name of this operation which includes the whole GCC as participants (except Oman). The operation will likely include Jordan, Egypt, Morocco, and perhaps Pakistan. Estimates show that 100 Saudi fighter jets were being used for the operation. The other significant participation came from the U.A.E with nearly 30 fighter jets.

Which type of Saudi air force jets are used in strikes? are Tornados taking lead in strikes roles??

Brother, why don't you tell it to Palestinian President, who sided with Saudia?
Any how, such problems among brothers always arise and we should be wise enough to solve them in good manner.

very misleading title.... fact is that GCC has responded to the SOS calls of Yemeni president, as Iran revolution guards started killing Muslims, as they have done in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya etc.

Immediately following the launch of Saudi-led Sunni Arab coalition attacks on the Houthi rebels in Yemen on March 26, 2015, Tehran – the patron of Yemen's Shi'ite Houthis, which provides them comprehensive military and financial support – threatened Saudi Arabia and warned that the attack would harm it to the point that its own regime would collapse. These threats were voiced by both of Iran's political camps.

The website Khabar Online, which is affiliated with Iran's pragmatic camp, led by Expediency Council Chairman Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani and President Hassan Rohani, called on the Houthis to launch an all-out attack on oil fields, tankers, and industrial facilities in Saudi Arabia, as well as to operate deep inside Saudi territory and conduct retaliatory strikes against Saudi interests in the Strait of Bab Al-Mandeb, the Red Sea, and even the Strait of Hormuz. The website also called on members of the resistance axis to use Saudi Arabia's focus on the Yemeni arena to inflict losses upon it in other Shi'ite-Sunni conflict zones in the Middle East such as Iraq, Syria, and Bahrain.

Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee member Kowsari Esmail estimated that the Saudi attack on Yemen would lead to the collapse of the Saudi regime, and called on the Saudi people to rise up against the Al-Saud regime, which he claims launched the attack against Yemen's Houthis on American-Israeli orders. The committee chairman, Ala Al-Din Boroujerdi, warned Saudi Arabia that the war would spill over into its own territory. Assembly of Experts member Ayatollah Abbas Kaabi predicted that Yemen would become a quagmire for Saudi Arabia, and that it would not succeed in imposing a Saudi-American puppet regime on the country.

On his way to Switzerland for another round of talks with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif demanded to immediately halt Saudi Arabia's Sunni-Arab coalition attacks on Yemen.

Khabar Online: The Houthis Now Have The Pretext To Launch Military Operations And Retaliatory Strikes In Saudi Arabia, Bab Al-Mandeb, The Red Sea, And Even The Strait Of Hormuz

On March 26, 2015, the website Khabar Online published an article titled "The Attack on the Yemeni Revolution: The Arena Of Retaliation Stretches From Bab Al-Mandeb To The Strait Of Hormuz", which stated: "Despite the fact that Saudi Arabia gathered several countries... to ensure that the implications of its attack on the popular revolution in Yemen would be directed at a coalition of Arab countries, the consequences of this move will undoubtedly be directed at its own interests. The Saudi-Western front wants to restrict Ansar Allah to North Yemen and distance the Houthis from [the Strait of] Bab Al-Mandeb. [Therefore,] it is possible that they would go as far as splitting Yemen or occupying parts of the south to realize this goal... Now the Houthis also have the necessary pretext to launch military operations and retaliatory strikes deep inside Saudi territory, in Bab Al-Mandeb, the Red Sea, and even the Strait of Hormuz. The foremost high priority targets for them are the oil fields, tankers, and industry.

"The Saudis are unable to destroy the Houthis and the popular revolution in Yemen and the Houthis are unable to invade Saudi Arabia and destroy it. However, the Houthis have lived with such bombings for years. Two years ago, [ousted Yemeni president] 'Ali 'Abdallah Saleh bombed their mountain positions for months in coordination with Saudi Arabia, but the Houthis have only grown stronger [since then]. The Saudis in their ivory towers are undoubtedly more vulnerable than the Houthis and the Yemeni people.

"Riyadh's focus on Yemen and [their] high alert, which stems from the fear of Houthi retaliation, could reduce their attention and focus on the other fronts in the region, including Iraq, Syria, and Bahrain. This is a good opportunity for the other fronts to grow stronger against Saudi Arabia. The Saudis know full well that they cannot bear a war of attrition and it is possible that they will seek a mediator for a political compromise in Yemen. According to the famous saying, 'he who starts [the war] is not necessarily the one who ends it,' we must see whether the Houthis will be prepared to end this new chapter that the Saudis mistakenly started or not."

Majlis Officials: The War Will Not Be Confined To Yemeni Territory; Saudi Arabia's Attack Will Lead To Its Own Collapse

In an interview with the Fars news agency on March 26, 2015, Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee member Kowsari Esmail, who is a former member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), said: "In the first days, Saudi Arabia will be ostensibly successful, but it will undoubtedly suffer a blow that will lead to its collapse. The Saudi army is being aided by the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, and Egypt, but [the security of] these countries is itself questionable. America and Israel are the chief decision-makers of the Saudi military attack against Yemen and are in charge of the means and the policy planning on this matter. The Saudi people must protest since this attack will harm Saudi Arabia itself as well."

Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee Chairman Ala Al-Din Boroujerdi added that the attack was carried out with American authorization and that "Saudi Arabia is igniting a new war in the region as part of its disregard for and irresponsibility towards the problems of the Islamic ummah. The smoke from this fire will get in Saudi Arabia's eyes, since war is never confined to a single point."

Hamas and Iran have been flirting again in recent months.

Even Hamas and Hezbollah were sending each other love letters again trying to mend their differences over Syria.
