Military intervention!
"We are ready to take the necessary measures if needed" Saudi FM
A no-fly zone to keep the status quo!
Is saudi, backed by the west and the security council, playing here a role that's similar to the ethiopian role in somalia
This situation reminds us when the islamic courts advanced towards baidoa, the interim capital of the pro-ethiopian tfg and met the ethiopian intervention to save the "legitimacy"
Houths have captured yesterday the last northern province, tacis who's located on bab al mandab along the southren borders
The supposed intervention will include the gulf countries specially the UAE so what will iran do?
"Saudi Arabia's foreign minister has said the kingdom is ready "to take necessary measures if needed" over Yemen's political crisis, after denouncing Iran's alleged role in the turmoil as an "act of aggression."
Prince Saud Al Faisal said on Monday that Riyadh would protect Yemen's sovereignty after the country's embattled government, holed up in the southern port city of Aden, asked Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations for military assistance.
Iran has been repeatedly accused of supporting the Houthis, the armed group that seized the capital Sanaa in September, an allegation both Tehran and the group deny.
"We are against Iran's intervention in Yemen ... it is actually an act of aggression," the minister said.
"We are keen on protecting Yemen’s sovereignty, the legitimacy of Yemen represented by President Hadi.
"We hope that the crisis can be resolved peacefully and we are ready to respond to any demand that the president requests, whatever it is to support him.
"We are ready to take the necessary measures if needed," he said.
Riyadh Yaseen, Yemen's newly-appointed foreign minister, has asked for military intervention from the GCC and the imposition of a no-fly zone by the United Nations.
The GCC is an alliance of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, the UAE and Oman; and its Peninsula Shield Force boasts about 40,000 troops and has a permanent base in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province.
"We've had enough, we can't watch them occupying airports and cities, destroying Yemen's infrastructure, and we sit there and watch", Yaseen told Al Jazeera on Monday. "We can't allow Iran to take over our country."
The request came a day after Prince Mohammed Bin Nayef, the Saudi interior minister, said the GCC was ready to take "all efforts" to defend the country's security.
