Yemeni Forces Seize 750 Tons Iranian Arms Bound for Houthis

Yemeni forces, notably the National Resistance Forces led by Tariq Saleh, seized a massive shipment of over 750 tons of Iranian weapons destined for Houthi militants, marking a significant interdiction in Yemen's ongoing conflict. The cache included advanced cruise, anti-ship, and anti-aircraft missiles, drone engines, air defense equipment, radar systems, and other military hardware. This seizure highlights the strategic and military tensions in the region, as the Iran-aligned Houthis have intensified attacks on Red Sea vessels, citing solidarity with Palestinians amid the Israel-Hamas war. While Iran denies supplying arms to the Houthis, repeated discoveries of Iranian-made weaponry contradict these claims. The British Embassy condemned recent Houthi attacks on commercial ships, emphasizing the risks these actions pose to regional stability and international maritime security. This event underscores the complexities of the Yemen conflict and the broader geopolitical struggle involving Iran's alleged support for the Houthis.
