New York, Agencies: The US Wall Street Journal revealed that Iranian support has enabled Houthi militias to launch their most powerful and sophisticated attacks to date against Saudi Arabia and pro-government forces in Yemen, including assistance in targeting drone and ballistic missile strikes, as well as training, intelligence, and tactical guidance. Citing sources familiar with intelligence information, the newspaper reported that this aid has enabled the Houthis to carry out an attack that achieved rapid and significant territorial gains in the Bab al-Mandab region. The Wall Street Journal further noted that Iran has supported the Houthi militias for more than a decade, since they seized control of the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, initially sending weapons via fishing boats and bringing in members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Lebanon’s Hezbollah to train the Houthis to assemble, operate, and deploy missiles and drones more effectively. When arms shipments by boat were disrupted by US and Israeli strikes, Iran began sending weapons to Yemen via submarines, according to the newspaper.
