U.S. Moves to Stem Iran Arms Flow to Yemen
(Wall Street Journal) Dion Nissenbaum - U.S. naval forces in the Red Sea this month boarded a freighter suspected of delivering Iranian weapons to Houthi rebels in Yemen, American military officials said. The boarding operation marked an expanding campaign to ensure Iran doesn't supply game-changing weapons such as surface-to-air missiles that would threaten Saudi-led airstrikes on the Houthis. U.S. and Saudi officials say Tehran has been providing weapons, training and funding for the Houthis for years.
