Yemen’s foreign ministry responds to Iran and calls for an end to arms supplies to the Houthis
Government Saba published a Yemeni foreign ministry statement rejecting Iran’s statement on Yemen and calling on Tehran to stop arming the Houthis and withdraw its experts. The ministry accused Iran of providing political and military cover for the group, repeating earlier allegations about foreign experts. In contrast, before this window, Houthi-aligned 26 September carried Tehran’s condemnation of attacks on civilians and infrastructure and its call for a halt to attacks and dialogue. The new development is Yemen’s response; the exchange does not establish responsibility for strikes or prove experts’ involvement in any particular operation.
