Some United States military forces have recently
begun assisting the government of Yemen against pro-Iranian Houthi
rebels. The U.S.
has been firing missiles from drones at al-Qaeda Islamist terrorists during the
War on Terrorism, but is now acting against one of the major participants in
the multi-sided Yemeni civil war as it tries to check Iranian influence in Yemen and
elsewhere.
Iraqi forces have been hitting
Islamic State positions in western Syria ,
in coordination both with Syria
and the American-led coalition of Western and Arab States fighting Islamist
terrorists like the Islamic State and al-Qaeda.
Meanwhile, Israel
again hit Iranian military positions last week in Syria
after warning that it will not allow the Islamic Republic of Iran to make Syria
a forward base from which to attack the Jewish State. Iran
had placed forces in a threatening manner near the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights .
Thousands
of Russians again took to the streets today to protest Internet censorship by
the authoritarian, oligarchical regime of Vladimir Putin. There were dozens of arrests, as basic
freedoms, such as that of peaceful assembly, are not tolerated in the Russian Federation .
