Iran’s weak hand exposed by ongoing developments in Yemen — Houthi Shiite rebels walk amid the rubble of the Republican Palace that was destroyed by Saudi-led airstrikes, in Sanaa, Yemen, Wednesday, Dec. 6, 2017. Former President Ali Abdullah Saleh was killed on Monday by his onetime allies, the Iran-backed Houthis. Sanaa has witnessed heavy fighting since last week between Saleh's loyalists and Houthis forcing many Yemenis to cower indoors fearing the violent street clashes.
