Iranian arms and advice helped Yemen's Houthis seize key Red Sea city, sources say
The lightning Houthi advance down Yemen's Red Sea coast this week came with direct guidance from Iran's Revolutionary Guards seeking to open a new front in US-Israeli war on Iran, according to Yemeni government, Iranian and regional sources. Iran told the Houthis last week to escalate their attacks on Saudi Arabia, a close US ally, and promised more funding, weapons and senior officers to help them do so, two Iranian sources said.
