Iranian arms and advice helped Yemen's Houthis seize key Red Sea city, sources say
Iran's Revolutionary Guards are currently mentoring Houthi forces along Yemen's Red Sea coastline, reinforcing their strategic control over the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Last week, Iran encouraged the Houthis to intensify their assaults on Saudi Arabia while Riyadh continues to concentrate its military efforts on northern fronts.

The advances of the Iranian-backed rebels follow the bombings of the Saudi-led coalition that supports the Yemeni government.
