DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AXADLE) — Hats off to the Yemeni National Resistance Forces (NRF), commanded by General Tareq Saleh, for stepping up to the plate. They’re putting their foot down on the spread of weapons and sneaky stuff aimed at boosting the Iranian-backed Houthis.
On August 6, in a coordinated effort with the Public Prosecutor and Port of Aden guys, Yemeni security forces grabbed a shipment stacked with drones, jet propulsion systems, and all sorts of high-tech gadgets meant for Houthis. They caught these goods right as they were headed to Al Hodeidah, but quick action had them redirected to Aden for a thorough check-up.
The shipment turned out to be a piece of a larger puzzle—a sprawling smuggling network that channels advanced military hardware through the Houthi-controlled port of Al Hodeidah, fueling regional bad actors.
This operation is a big win not just for Yemen but also supports United Nations Security Council Resolutions. It clearly shows Yemen’s dedication to maintaining peace and security across the waterways.
Adm. Brad Cooper, who helms the U.S. Central Command, gave a shout-out: “Yet again, within just three weeks, Yemen’s legit government forces are curbing the smuggling of Iranian arms to the Houthis. This action underscores Iran’s relentless meddling and its threat to regional peace. Stopping the flow of support to the Houthis is key to safeguarding the region and ensuring ships can sail freely.”
