Current reports suggest that the Houthis, an Iranian Shiite terror group, is negotiating to provide weapons to Yemen's Al-Shabaab, a Sunni Jihadist group allied with Al Qaeda, to expand Iran's control over shipping. While Al-Shabaab has operated using the conventional Al Qaeda playbook of rifles and IEDs, the Houthis can offer upgraded drones and missile technology.

Current reports suggest that the Houthis, an Iranian Shiite terror group, is negotiating to provide weapons to Yemen's Al-Shabaab, a Sunni Jihadist group allied with Al Qaeda, to expand Iran's control over shipping. While Al-Shabaab has operated using the conventional Al Qaeda playbook of rifles and IEDs, the Houthis can offer upgraded drones and missile technology.
And best of all, the Houthis can claim that the weapons were battle-tested on the US Navy.
