Control of the Red Sea Bab el-Mandeb Straits passed Tuesday, March 31 to pro-Iranian Yemeni forces when the Yemeni Army’s 117th Brigade loyal to the former Yemeni President Ali Saleh handed positions guarding the waterway to two Houthi commando battalions trained by Iranian Revolutionary Guards. This is revealed by debkafile’s military and intelligence sources.
In another development Tuesday involving Iran’s spreading tentacles, debkafile’s military sources reveal that unidentified aircraft bombed Burak, a small military base in the Fezzan province of southwestern Libya, which serves Iran as a transit store for arms purchased in Sudan for the Palestinian Hamas.
The weapons, which recently reached the Libyan base through Chad, were destroyed. They were scheduled to be smuggled through Egypt and Sinai and onto Gaza. Western military sources attributed responsibility for the bombardment to the Egyptian or Israeli air forces. Both Israel and Egypt have declined to comment on the report.
To strengthen Iran’s grip on the key Red Sea gateway, Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has ordered two naval task forces to sail to the Red Sea. They are to fend off a Saudi-Egyptian offensive to dislodge the Houthi battalions now holding a point linking the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean and Persian Gulf.
The naval task forces are being sent to draw a sea shield around the Houthi forces to defend them against Saudi-Egyptian assaults. This maneuver was orchestrated by the Al Qods Brigades chief Gen. Qassem Soleimani.
Our sources report that the 33rd task force set out on its mission Tuesday night from the Gulf port of Bandar Abbas.


ACCORDING TO THE ABOVE ARTICLE FROM DEBKA FILE, IF WE ARE TO BELIEVE THAT WHAT THEY ARE REPORTING IS CORRECT, THEN THE MID EAST WAR IS ABOUT TO GREATLY ESCALATE.
IF YOU NOTE EXACTLY WHERE THIS STRAIT IS LOCATED, IT IS RIGHT AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE RED SEA. THIS IS A KEY TRADING POINT IN THE REGION, AND IF IT IS CONTROLLED BY IRANIAN BACKED REBELS, THEN THIS SPELLS TROUBLE FOR THE U.S., SAUDI ARABIA AND THE WEST.
THERE WERE VARIOUS REPORTS ABOUT THE HOUTHI REBELS WHICH ARE BACKED BY IRAN, TAKING CONTROL FROM VARIOUS NEWS SOURCES, OF TAKING CONTROL OVER STRATEGIC POINTS OVERLOOKING THE BAB-EL-MANDEB STRAITS.
THE FOLLOWING EXCERPT IS FROM A YAHOO NEWS ARTICLE.


http://news.yahoo.com/iran-sends-aid-yemens-rebels-amid-saudi-led-072102862.html
Late on Tuesday night, Yemeni military officials said the Shiite rebels, known as Houthis, took up positions overlooking the strategic Bab-el-Mandeb strait, which serves as a gateway for oil tankers headed to Europe, raising the risk they could threaten the key global shipping route with heavy weapons.


THE KEY POINT TO THIS ARTICLE, WHICH IS ONLY FOUND IN THE DEBKA FILE NEWS STORY, IS THE PART REGARDING THE SUPREME LEADER OF IRAN SENDING IRANIAN NAVAL VESSELS TO FACE OFF SAUDI-EYGPTIAN VESSELS IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THIS KEY GROUND.
IF THIS IS ACCURATE INFORMATION, THEN THIS WAR IS ABOUT TO REALLY BE TAKEN TO THE NEXT LEVEL BECAUSE IT WILL BE THE IRANIAN NAVY, FACING OFF AGAINST THE SAUDI AND EGYPTIAN NAVIES.
ALSO NOTE WHAT THE CHINESE JUST DID TODAY IN THIS VERY REGION.
Evacuation of Chinese nationals from Yemen completed
March 31, 2015

China’s Defense Ministry said on Tuesday its warships had completed an evacuation of Chinese nationals from Yemen, with more than 570 people safely transported across the Red Sea to Djibouti, from where they will be flown home.
The Chinese were evacuated in two batches, one from Aden and the other, much larger group from Hodeidah, the ministry said in a statement on its website.

THE CHINESE ALSO HAVE A FEW OF THEIR MILITARY NAVAL VESSELS IN THE REGION AS WELL AND TODAY EVACUATED SEVERAL OF THIER NATIONALS FROM YEMEN.


IF THE INFORMATION FROM DEBKA IS CORRECT, THEN THIS WAR BETWEEN IRAN AND ITS NEIGHBORS IS ABOUT TO GET VERY DANGEROUS.


ALSO REMEMBER THIS HEADLINE FROM A FEW WEEKS AGO??? RUSSIA PROMISED TO BACK IRAN ATTACK SAUDI ARABIA IF THE U.S. ARMED UKRAINE, AND THE U.S. IS ALREADY DOING THAT, SO EXPECT RUSSIA TO BACK THIS STATEMENT.


Russia To Help Iran Attack Saudi Arabia If U.S. Arms Ukraine [REPORT]

Meanwhile, officials in Moscow are making extreme predictions. A member of the Russian Defense Ministry told The Moscow Times (via The Fiscal Times) that if the United States supplies lethal arms to Ukraine, Russia will consider it an “act of war.” It will heighten tension in the region and force Moscow to ” respond asymmetrically against Washington or its allies on other fronts.”

The Russian official, who requested anonymity, said that Russia can also encourage or support Iran in a fight with Saudi Arabia, pushing the oil prices up. Russian economy is expected to contract more than 3% this year due to fall in oil prices. Evgeny Buzhinsky, a former lieutenant general in Russian Army, said that the Kremlin would consider the United States to be a “direct participant in the conflict.”
