Iran Sends IRGC Commanders and Military Equipment to Yemen Ahead of Red Sea Attacks
Iran reportedly sent Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commanders, military advisers, and missile and drone equipment to Yemen on July 13 to support its Houthi allies. According to multiple sources, including Iranian officials and Yemen's information minister, the personnel and equipment were flown from Tehran to Yemen before the Houthis began targeting ships in the Red Sea. The deployment aims to strengthen the Houthis' capacity to threaten Red Sea shipping, with the flight diverted to Hodeidah after an attack on Sanaa airport. Iran denies providing missile capabilities to the Houthis.
