Yes, I saw it. But, they only stopped the strikes because they were not stopping the advance of rebels, whom will surely see this as a victory. It also may be part in parcel of a larger non publicized agreement between Iran , US, and Saudi to cool tensions. Iran sees we aren't fng around, and they know they would get their britches dropped publicly by us stopping their ships carrying arms, and would look bad to the Arab world , and more important , their own people. And Saudi was catching heat for the strikes via the amount of people killed, in fact we asked them to stop. But, the problem is not solved. The rebels are still very much on the move , and Yemen is a simmering pot of competing interests. Al Queda which is Suni , rebels , backed by Shia Iran , and isis is also in the mix. None of those groups like the house of saud. Bottom line, yemen crisis will continue and worsen . Yet another mid east problem. When sadam was in power, none of this chit happened, because he kept IrAn in line. He didn't like Saudi, but at least he hated Iran much more. In fact, his dying words were ; " beware the Persians"
