Tensions between Iran and Saudi Arabia have gotten much worse since Thursday when Iranian leaders lashed out in violence against the Saudi air campaign in Yemen, even insulting the young Saudi prince who is leading the fight. The supreme leader of Iran denounced the Saudi airstrikes "a crime" and "a genocide" while all but saying how the Saudi war in Yemen was doomed to fail. Saudi Arabia extended its bombing campaign for a sixteen night in order to try and stop the Houthi movement and their allies from dominating Yemen, however it was not successful. It has also been confirmed that Iran has been sending weekly flights into Yemen carrying supplies to help them fight back.
