Saudi spokesman, Adel al-Jubair, said his country is interested in protecting the legitimate government of Yemen, led by President Abdurabuh Mansour Hadi. The president since the beginning of 2015 was forced away from the capital Sanaa due to rebel attacks from the Houthi tribe bermazhab Shiite Islam.
Russian Times reported on Friday (27/3), the international community condemned the unilateral action Arabia. Russia asked King Salman as the Saudi leader to stop the military operations.

"The US Army can help logistics and supply intelligence information, but the extent of it," said an unnamed military officials this.
Television Aljazeera participated reported an unexpected development in Yemen as a political game between Saudi versus Iran.
In the current political map, a step ahead of Iran in Syria and Yemen. Even the existence of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) has not been able to shake Bechar Syrian President al-Assad who has long supported by Tehran.
Aljazeera said Saudi political analyst increasingly stifling see Iran maneuver past few years. In Bahrain and in the southern province of Arabia, minority Shiite increasingly bold demands autonomy and staged demonstrations. The princes in Riyadh believes Iranian President Hassan Rouhani intervened on the events.
Sunni-Shia had not got along since the era of the Islamic caliphate after the Prophet Muhammad. But only in the modern era was the war that influence manifested itself in a strong race two countries.
Iran-Saudi are not directly adjacent. But since the 1970s, especially when the Islamic Revolution in Iran produce fanatical Shiite government, the cold war in the Middle East heats up.
Adu influence of Iran-Saudi occurred in Kuwait, which led to the Gulf War in the 1990s. Now, the scenario of a two-state war is equally rich oil moving to Yemen. Saudi angry, because the Shiite population in Yemen only 35 percent, but the Iranian intelligence accused managed to provoke them to pry government.
Yemen led by the Shia is a nightmare for Saudi, especially poor countries that is directly adjacent to the Holy Land of Mecca.
Russian Times noted throughout the armed elements in the Middle East now recognizes that war is Iran and Saudi. While Houthi just be a pawn.

Brent oil prices rose more than $ 3 per barrel to USD 59.78 per barrel.
On the other hand, civilians were also victims of this high-level political game. Initial attack Saudi fighter jets to the outskirts of the capital Sanaa, killing 13 people, all of them ordinary citizens, not the Houthi militants.
