Yemeni official: Houthis are a tool controlled by Iran’s IRGC
A Yemeni deputy minister said the Houthi militia is merely a proxy managed by senior commanders of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Yemeni Deputy Minister Fayadh Al-Numan contends that the Houthi militia is merely a tool manipulated by senior commanders of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). In an interview with Al Hadath TV, Al-Numan asserted that the IRGC orchestrated the recent conflict on Yemen's western coast during the latest escalation. He emphasized that the militia operates under the orders of the IRGC.
Al-Numan dismissed claims that Iran lacks the capability to sway events, labeling such assertions as misguided. He further revealed that Iran provides the militias with experts, weapons, drones, and ballistic missiles, aiming to alleviate its own pressure and redirect it toward the Bab Al-Mandab Strait. Al-Numan stressed that the bond between Iran and the Houthi militias has deepened, with the militia now functioning as a strategic asset for Iran, executing its regional agenda at the command of the Iranian regime.
