Sources report that Iran has flown between 10 and 21 personnel from its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), including senior commanders, to Yemen. The flights allegedly landed in Hodeida, a city controlled by the Houthi rebel group, shortly before the Houthis announced a blockade of Saudi Arabia. This movement included missile gear, raising concerns about increased capabilities for the Houthi forces. The reported transfers suggest a bolstering of support for the Houthis amidst ongoing tensions in the region. This action potentially escalates the conflict and challenges efforts toward a peaceful resolution in Yemen. The Times of Israel first reported the information from unnamed sources. This development adds a new layer to the complex dynamics of the Yemeni civil war.
