Indicators suggest that Tehran supports the Houthi anti-ship
missile attack against the US Navy this past week. The Islamic Revolutionary
Guard Corps held the US directly responsible for the devastating Saudi-led
coalition bombing last week in Sanaa, Yemen. The IRGC sought to pressure the
US in order to push the Saudis to deescalate the war, calculating that the US
wants to avoid more involvement in the war in Yemen.

The Islamic State has officially recognized a loyalty oath sworn
by Abu Walid al Sahrawi, a jihadist based in West Africa. Sahrawi first swore
his fealty to Abu Bakr al Baghdadi in May 2015. It is not clear why it took
so long for the so-called caliphate to recognize him as one of its
representatives.
