Interesting to see the Senate take a strong line on Saudi and Yemen.

The West's support for Saudi has been undermining its stance on other conflicts for years, and no wonder.

Just look at the emphasis Iranian operations placed on it.

Here's a couple of examples from IUVM, which plays a key role in laundering Iranian state messaging.

(See medium.com/dfrlab/trolltr…)

Now the Senate "demands that the Saudi-led coalition and all parties to the Yemen conflict seek to minimize civilian casualties at all times" and "supports the end of air-to-air refueling of Saudi-led coalition aircraft operating in Yemen."

And it gets personal.

Senate "believes MBS is responsible" for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. And wants Saudi gov to "ensure appropriate accountability for all those responsible," which would logically include MBS.

Good luck with that.
