Iran Increases Arms Supplies to Houthis, Enabling Attacks on Israel and Shipping Routes for Years to Come
Jan 5, 2025, 11:58 AM
Iran is reportedly increasing its supply of weapons to Yemen's Houthi rebels, enabling them to sustain attacks on Israel and disrupt international shipping routes for years. This information comes from Yemeni military spokesman Abdul Basit Al-Baher, who noted that the advanced missiles, drones, and assembly workshops provided by Iran are crucial for the Houthis' ongoing military operations. The escalation follows the collapse of Iran's other proxy groups in the Middle East, prompting Tehran to focus more on supporting the Houthis. A security source in Israel has indicated that Abdul-Malik al-Houthi is now a target of their operations. In a related development, Egyptian sources have refuted claims that Egypt is preparing a military operation in Yemen, labeling such reports as false and baseless. However, there are indications that Egypt may consider joining US, British, and Israeli actions against the Houthis due to the economic damage caused by Houthi attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea.
