WSJ: Iran Supplied Houthis with Targeting Info
The "Wall Street Journal" reveals that Iran has supplied the Houthis with intelligence information that helped them carry out more powerful and complex attacks against Saudi Arabia and its allies in Yemen. This includes targeting drones and missiles, as well as tactical guidance training. Iranian support has enabled the Houthis to achieve regional gains, such as controlling the coastline on the Bab al-Mandab Strait and launching attacks on Saudi oil facilities and aircraft, which resulted in 13 deaths in Riyadh last week. It is also noted that the relationship between Iran and the Houthis is strong at the operational level, and Iran benefits from the escalation of attacks to weaken Saudi Arabia and increase oil prices. Some claims have been denied, with confirmation that the Houthis are developing their capabilities independently and have imported parts from China; they have also demonstrated advanced tactics involving drone and missile attacks, aided by officers from the Revolutionary Guards. These developments have led to an escalation in threats to American and regional interests, with the conflict continuing after the collapse of the recent ceasefire.
