Tim Lenderking, the US special envoy to Yemen, confirmed that elements from Iran and the Lebanese Hezbollah militia are working inside Yemen to support attacks by the Iranian-backed Houthi militia.
He explained in the US Senate that Iran is “preparing and facilitating” Houthi terrorist attacks, which led to American and British strikes, to protect commercial ships from attacks.
He stressed that “reliable public reports indicate that a large number of Iranian and Lebanese Hezbollah members support Houthi terrorist attacks from inside Yemen.”
