Iran's Tasnim news agency reported on Wednesday that Tehran had provided the Houthis in Yemen with a sea-launched ballistic missile.

The agency, which is believed to be affiliated with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, added that “the sea-launched ballistic missile, called Ghadr, has now been provided to Yemeni (Houthi) fighters.”

Tasnim continued, “Now the missile... becomes a weapon capable of posing serious threats to the interests of the United States and its main ally in the region.”

The "Ghadr" missile is an improved version of the "Shahab-3A" missile. It is also referred to as “Ghadar-101” and “Ghadar-110,” according to a previous report by the American newspaper “The Washington Post.”

The length of the missile is 16.5 meters, its diameter is 1.25, its maximum range reaches 1,950 km, and the weight of its warhead is 798.3 kg.

This statement is further evidence of Iranian support for the Houthi militia with specific weapons such as drones and ballistic missiles, disregarding international resolutions and regional understandings to stop fueling the conflict in Yemen.

Since the beginning of the Houthi rebellion against the state and then their coup, Tehran has supplied the Houthi militia with various types of weapons, including qualitative and advanced weapons, and some parts involved in the development of individual missiles and mines. It also sent military advisors for training and leadership of military operations.
