Four sources told Reuters that Iran sent Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commanders, military advisers, medium-range missiles and drone-related equipment to Yemen’s Houthi rebels on a special Mahan Air flight from Tehran on July 13. Two Iranian officials said the flight, initially bound for Houthi-controlled Sanaa, was diverted to the Houthi-controlled port of Hodeidah after Sanaa airport was damaged in attacks by the Saudi-backed Yemeni government.
The sources included two Iranian officials, the information minister of Yemen’s internationally recognised government and a regional security analyst. They said Tehran’s aim was to strengthen Houthi military capabilities in the Red Sea. One source said the commanders were sent to train Houthis on operating new missile systems and assist military operations, and alleged that gold was also carried to finance Houthi activities.
Iran’s foreign ministry did not immediately comment and has long denied providing military and missile support to the Houthis. Houthi media official Abdel Rahman al-Ahnomi called the allegation false, saying only civilian passengers were aboard. Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said the flight’s sole purpose was returning a Houthi delegation and Yemeni citizens who had received treatment in Tehran. Yemen’s information minister Muammar al-Eryani said intelligence indicated personnel and equipment had arrived.
