Politics aside, how is Iran going to militarily support the Zaidis / Houthis? It is land locked by KSA and Oman. On the sea front, all the Yemeni ports are being monitored, and any suspicious vessel would be taken care of .
So is Pakistan & Turkey, trying to go give Iran a safe exit strategy? Since militarily Iran & the Houthis don't stand a chance. The sooner they come to the bargaining table the better for them.
On another note, Pakistan could have gained a lot politically, economically and militarily. Unfortunately as usual ,it did not play it's cards well at all. This war could have been a game changer, on which Pakistan failed miserably.
People have very short memories, and are forgetting the thousands of Iranian pilgrims caught with small arms, trying to enter KSA for Hajj, and the riots in Makkah (yes Makkah) caused by Iranians in the 80's.
People should be asking, how is it that a small group of people have become so militarily strong? Why is Iran providing them with military hardware, training etc?
The support we are providing militarily, is not restricted to just training, and the world knows it. So why can't the Govt be honest about it? Instead of doing the exact same thing they accuse Musharraf of i.e. keeping people in the dark!!
