UANI Resources: Iranian Arms in Yemen

(New York, N.Y.) – U.S. Special Representative to Iran Brian Hook recently discussed U.S. efforts to cease Iranian funding to Houthi militia forces in Yemen, expressing that economic sanctions imposed against Tehran has had a weakening effect on Iran’s ability to fund its terror partners and proxies, particularly the Houthis. Hook told reporters that the U.S. strongly opposes a Houthi presence on Saudi Arabia’s border as he noted that rebels were in possession of Iranian weapons. In a new report to be discussed by the U.N. Security Council on June 30, U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres confirmed the Iranian origin of arms seized by the United States in international waters off the coast of Yemen.

United Against Nuclear Iran’s (UANI) resource, Iran’s Proxy Wars: Houthis, outlines the Islamic Republic of Iran’s history of financial and military support to the Houthis as part of the regime’s worldwide terror campaign. UANI’s resource, JCPOA Sunset Alert, discusses the implications in Yemen of the expiration of the U.N. arms embargo on October 18, 2020.
