Yemen seeks maritime arms smuggling crackdown

[CENTCOM]

The Yemeni foreign minister claims that Iran is smuggling weapons to the Shi’ite Houthi rebels? What do you think about this news?

London, Asharq Al-Awsat—Iranian nationals are using islands in the Red Sea to store illegal arms, with a view to smuggling these to the Houthi rebels in Yemen’s Sa’ada Governorate, Asharq Al-Awsat has learned. Speaking to Asharq Al-Awsat on the condition of anonymity, a senior Yemeni official confirmed that smugglers are utilizing Red Sea islands in their criminal activities, including Iranians smuggling arms to the Shi’ite Houthi rebels in northern Yemen.
“Many of the small islands in the Red Sea are unpopulated, and therefore it is easy for large ships to unload their cargo there, with this later being smuggled into Yemen on smaller fishing boats,” he said.

As usual they make some baseless claim .

Specially I like to see a big ship try to unload its cargo in a small island without any port in red sea .

If there is any gun smuggling in those area its done by al-qaeda terrorists in those area and we all knew who support those terrorist

As always,they blame Iran for their failures and incompetency in managing their messed up country,without providing a single proof.
