Report: Iran pulling forces out of Yemen amid intensive U.S. airstrikes on Houthis

Iran amid extensive U.S. airstrikes on the rebel group, has reportedly
1. ordered its military personnel to leave Yemen
2. and is pulling back its support for the Houthis

The British Telegraph newspaper on Thursday cited a “senior Iranian official” saying
Tehran is scaling back its support of its regional proxies to focus on the direct threats emanating from the U.S. administration.

According to the official, Iran’s pullback from Yemen was designed to avoid the possibility of escalation if an Iranian soldier is killed in U.S. airstrikes there.

“Every meeting is dominated by discussions about [U.S. President Donald Trump],” the official was quoted as saying.

Tehran is focusing its efforts instead on
1. how to respond to Trump and his litany of threats,
2. and “none of the regional groups we previously supported are being discussed,”
