    Sensible reporting, and of course the underlying reality that Iran has no way to get weapons into Yemen, even if it tried to. Swimming camels across the Straits of Hormuz and then galloping down the coast through Oman, by passing the Al Qaeda occupied Hadramaut to Sana'a. Or throught the Mandeb straits to Hodeidah, avoiding the warship blockade and port inspections.... nonsense, oh and air drops... from drones?

    Now if we're talking about markets for Katushas, the Israelis made millions buying them from Ukraine and selling them to Iran in the '80s...
