What is interesting is that now the from Khomeini called for "Green Crescent" is now formally taking shape and yet the US seems to think that an agreement with Iran will throttle back their regional hegemon aspirations.

In fact if one goes back to 1979 --Khomeini actually unleashed a Shia Revolutionary Movement into the global Islamic community stretching from AFG to Lebanon.

There has been some indicators that in fact the IRG general Suleiman was recently in Sana'a coordinating with the Shia group there.

Then after his reported being in Sana'a--Shia took over the US SF base in Yemen in the last few days.
