U.S. General Suspects Iran in Yemen Missile Launches
(The Hill) Kristina Wong - Iran is playing a role in recent missile launches by Houthi rebels in Yemen against U.S. ships in the Red Sea, U.S. Central Command leader Army Gen. Joseph Votel told the Center for American Progress. Last week, U.S. ships were fired upon at least two times off the coast of Yemen, prompting a U.S. destroyer to destroy three radar sites that U.S. officials say they believe were used in the missile launches. Officials said the missile launches were from "Houthi-controlled territory" in Yemen. The Houthis receive weapons and military support from Iran.
