New York Times: Kerry Says U.S. Knew of Iran’s Military Aid to Houthi Rebels
CAIRO — Secretary of State John Kerry has said that the United States knew Iran had been providing military support to the Houthi rebels in Yemen and that Washington “is not going to stand by while the region is destabilized.”
Mr. Kerry’s remarks, in an interview on Wednesday night with “PBS NewsHour,” appeared to be the most direct warning yet from Washington about Iranian support for the Houthi movement, which has allied with security forces loyal to a former leader and has taken control of Yemen’s capital, Sana.

Ummmm wasn't it the US who left 500 million dollars in functional lethal weapons abandoned in Yemen for the Houthi's to use?
Kerry is certainly getting a lot of face time and will as long as he speaks the mantra.
