An Arab coalition led by Saudi Arabia and backed by the United States has been attempting to prevent Yemen from becoming another failed state and the entire Arabian Peninsula from being destabilized.
In February, Joe ended all support for Saudi military operations in Yemen.
As we are walking away, already massive Iranian support to the Houthis is only being ramped up and the scope of Houthis attacks is being increased.
"In the Yemen context, we have seen more attacks from the Houthis launched at Saudi Arabia in the first half of this year than we have for several prior years," Dana Stroul, the Pentagon's top official for policy in the Middle East, told lawmakers on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee recently.
Iran recently sent its Houthi allies in Yemen "Suicide drones" capable of reaching Israel or striking other U.S., Saudi or Gulf targets within a 1,240-mile range.
The IRGC has also been smuggling fighters from Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Afghanistan into Yemen to fight alongside the Houthis.
Speaking back in February, Joe Biden said, "The war in Yemen must end." Having seen how Afghanistan has played out we now know exactly what that means.
