According to a Reuters report, the rapid Houthi advances along the Red Sea coast were directly directed by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which sought to open a new front against the United States. Senior Iranian commanders have arrived in Yemen to help coordinate attacks against Saudi Arabia, the report said.
According to a Reuters report, the recent rapid Houthi advances along Yemen's Red Sea coast were directly directed by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which aimed to open a new front against the United States. The report states that senior Iranian commanders have arrived in Yemen to coordinate attacks against Saudi Arabia.
The Zioneer reported yesterday (Thursday) that the United States has expanded its intelligence and targeting support to Saudi Arabia, establishing a joint command with over 200 American personnel. That development was seen as a response to increased Iranian assistance to Houthi attacks.
The IRGC's direct involvement in Houthi operations has been a recurring pattern, as The Zioneer has previously documented. In July, the Houthis attacked the UAE, triggering alerts in Dubai, and earlier Iraqi Shia militias joined Houthi strikes on Saudi oil facilities. The deepening IRGC-Houthi nexus has been a central concern for the US-led regional coalition.
This latest Reuters report indicates a further escalation, with Iranian commanders on the ground. The claims remain unverified by other sources at this time.
