The Wall Street Journal, citing Saudi and anti-Houthi alliance intelligence sources, reports Iran has provided targeting, intelligence, training and tactical guidance that enabled the Houthis to carry out their most lethal, technically advanced strikes to date against Saudi Arabia and its Yemeni allies, including targeting for drone and missile attacks. Iranian support has helped the Houthis expand swiftly and now control the Yemeni coastline on the Bab al-Mandeb, a choke point for Saudi oil exports. The Houthis have struck Saudi tankers, energy facilities and airports; a weekend attack on Riyadh killed at least 13. Tehran reportedly uses traditional dhows to smuggle weapons and has deployed IRGC and Hezbollah personnel to Yemen to train Houthis to assemble and improve the effectiveness of missiles and drones. The assistance underlines Iran’s ability to pressure the region via proxy forces and complicates President Trump and Gulf allies’ efforts to end the conflict on favorable terms.
