Coalition Spokesman: Iran provided Houthis with ballistic missiles

Saudi Gazette report

RIYADH – Spokesman of the Arab Coalition Supporting Legitimacy in Yemen Col. Turki Al-Maliki said on Sunday that the ballistic missile targeting Saudi Arabia is a hostile act. He stressed that the serious escalation by the Houthis has come due to Iranian support.

This came in a press conference held by Col. Al-Maliki on Sunday in which he presented evidence with pictures of Iranian support for the Houthi militias in Yemen. He also confirmed that Tehran and Hezbollah are providing the Houthis with weapons, experts and technology. Their aim is to prolong the war and spread chaos.

Al-Maliki added that Iran supplied the Houthis with ground-to-ground and ballistic missiles. He further said that the rocket launch vehicles being used by the Houthis have come from Iran.

He said the launching of the ballistic missile towards Riyadh was a barbaric act by the Houthis and those behind them. He added that were it not for the Iranian regime’s support for the Houthis, they would not have targeted Riyadh.

Al-Maliki said Iranian experts brought the ballistic capabilities to Saadah. He said the Coalition planes have targeted the locations for hiding ballistic missiles in Saadah.

With support from Iran, the Houthis are threatening maritime navigation with rigged boats. He added that the Coalition have seized several of these rigged boats threatening (international) navigation.

The smuggling of Iranian weapons to the Houthis is via Hodeida Port. The missiles are smuggled into Yemen as separate parts and reassembled before launch, he said.

Hezbollah smuggles weapons from Lebanon to Syria, then to Iran and finally to Yemen. The Houthis have planted over 50,000 landmines at the Saudi borders, he said.

The kingdom announced a list of 40 names of leaders and elements responsible for planning, executing and supporting various terrorist activities by the Houthi terrorist group, as well as financial rewards (shown in front of each of them), for information leading to their arrest or whereabouts.
