The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Iranian support has helped the Houthis mount the most potent and sophisticated attacks yet on Saudi Arabia and its Yemeni allies, according to Al Jazeera.
The US outlet has cited people briefed on intelligence from Saudi Arabia and Yemen’s anti-Houthi alliance.
Iran’s assistance has helped the Houthis make territorial gains on Yemen’s Red Sea coast and launch attacks on Saudi oil facilities and airports, including the raid that killed 13 people in Riyadh last week.
Iran has denied interfering in Yemeni affairs, saying the Houthis are “entirely independent actors”.
