#1 Guess who? -

Iran has deployed personnel from its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to Yemen, according to Semafor’s Jay Solomon, who reports they are “playing a direct role in Houthi rebel attacks on commercial traffic in the Red Sea.” The advisers include missile and drone trainers and operators and personnel providing intelligence support to the Houthis. Iran has also transferred drones, cruise missiles, and medium-range ballistic missiles to them through its Qods Force." - link

So the war that started with the storming of the American Embassy in Tehran is turning hotter.

#8 Why are they even doing this?

Iran ordered them to support the Hamas uprising, and they can’t send volunteers because the Gaza Strip is sealed off.
