Kerry to Iran: U.S. Won't Tolerate "Overt Warfare" Across Borders 
------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Secretary of State John Kerry has called out Iran for what he says is
Tehran's heavy backing of Houthi rebels in Yemen. Speaking to PBS, Kerry
said the United States will not tolerate countries that "engage in overt
warfare across lines, international boundaries and other countries."

Secretary of State John Kerry: "We're very concerned about what's going
on there, and it's just not a fact. There are obviously supplies that
have been coming from Iran. There are a number of flights every single
week that have been flying in and we trace those flights and we know
those. We're well aware of the support that Iran has been giving to
Yemen. And Iran needs to recognize that the United States is not going
to stand by while the region is destabilized or while people engage in
overt warfare across lines, international boundaries and other
countries."

Kerry's comments come one day after the Pentagon said it would expedite
U.S. weapons shipments to aid the Saudi-led military campaign in Yemen.
