    But it's changing course to Hodeidah again after being inspected by the UN, right?

      Sure. Inspection was the issue here.

      This is an important precedent which will require future Iranian shipments to undergo inspections in Djibouti before offloading their cargo in Hodaydah or any other Yemeni port. It makes large-scale delivery of arms to the Huthis that much more difficult.

      Inspection by countries involved in the war was the problem, yes.

      I know other nations have been sending their aid to Djibouti but have their ships then moved to Yemeni ports or was the aid carried to Yemen's ports by UN ships?

      Reportedly there is a wait of a week or more for ships to offload at Hodaydah, there must be a number of cargo ships there already. I assume they all have passed through inspections, but do not know the details, and if they are UN ships. If you find out, please let us know.

    Much, much relieved at this course of action.

    Last week Fars News Agency reported an Iranian MP stated Iran Shahed would go to Djibouti. He turned out to be correct.

    How come this regime is so concerned about Yemen while Iranians have to sell their organs to put bread on their table?

    The same way the Americans are so concerned about peace in the world and try it with 600 billions a year to reach it. And 20 % of Americans have no food on there tables

      Have you any evidence that 20% of Americans,(roughly about 70 million people) have no food on their tables?

      there is no evidence, because the claim is utter rubbish.

      nobody starves in the USA unless they are mentally ill.

      there is plenty of poverty, but it's not poverty on the level of much of the rest of the world.

      poverty in the US is defined as $22,000/yr for a family of four rather than the $1/day/person which comes to $1,460/yr.......

      and a US family with income of $22K/yr then get significant government benefits to supplement their income.

      The point that AnonymousMay 22, 2015 at 2:34 AM made is still a valid one that while the us spends hundreds of billions on its military,its wars and other foreign "commitments" each year there are tens of millions of americans who live in poverty

      To compare Iran to the US all the time comes across as bit of an apolopist. Anon 2:34 AM is rediculously claiming that 20% of americans can't put food on their table. But facts point towards Iranian people that are selling their organs to put food on their table.And facts point towards 60% of Iranians living below the poverty line.Lets compare Iran to its neighbour Turkey instead of the US.Teachers in Turkey earn $36000 a year while teachers in Iran earn $3600 a year. If they are lucky teachers in Iran have to hold second jobs or sell their belongings to put bread on their tables.
