A Saudi-backed Yemeni military unit reported that the missile crashed near Al-Matamah in Al-Jawf province about 1,200 km from the Barakah plant.' |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77417102 United States 06/12/2019 06:24 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I think they should add " Iran - who is in possession of Iraq's WMD - blah blah blah". They can place Iraq's WMD label on the country/person they want to destroy next. Example: We have now learned Trump supporters are in possession of Iraq's WMD. \ CNN |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77674056 Yep there are some on here that come along with the sob story like 'what has Iran ever done to you? why do you think they're bad?' I know they're agenda driven to sway opinion in Irans favour, but I can see through their crocodile tears and drive. |

Houthis are in a war with the Saudis...because Iran supports them is kinda irrelevant. have you seen what the Saudis have done to Yemen?.... @Godsarmymilitia |
