Iran has provided logistics, including land mines, for the Houthis.
Thanks to Iran's regime supporting Houthi militias in Yemen, this country is littered with mines & explosives.

It is quite interesting to see Rhodes passionately neglect these undeniable facts.
More importantly, this attack took place just three days before the 2019 UNGA where Iran pundits hope to see a Trump/Rouhani meeting.
The mullahs, however, have shown their true colors.

Final thoughts:
Why does Rhodes go such a distance a distance for Iran’s regime?
Is it all about his utter hatred of U.S. President Donald Trump?
Does he sincerely believe in a policy of appeasement/engagement vis-à-vis Iran?
Or does Iran’s regime have something on him?
