Iran-Backed Militants Storm US Embassy in Yemen, Seize Hostages

Welcome back, Carter.

The State Department is working to secure the release of several hostages taken by Iran-backed terrorists after they stormed the U.S. embassy facility in Sana'a, Yemen, U.S. officials told the Washington Free Beacon early Thursday.

A group of Houthi rebels reportedly stormed the U.S. compound on Wednesday seeking "large quantities of equipment and materials," according to regional reports translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute. The raid comes just five days after the Houthis kidnapped Yemeni nationals who work for the U.S. embassy.

The State Department confirmed to the Free Beacon that the Yemeni staffers are being held hostage and that the Iran-backed militants stole property after breaching the American facility in Sana'a, which housed U.S. embassy staff prior to the suspension of operations there in 2015.

"The United States has been unceasing in its diplomatic efforts to secure their release," a State Department spokesman told the Free Beacon.

Oh.

Meanwhile, Biden's giving Iran billions and trying to give them their nukes back. And we have the respect of the world!

America is back, baby!
