"The Houthis got missiles and weapons from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and that were not in the possession of the Yemeni ARMY previously," Col. Turki al-Maliki said, citing evidence that the Houthis fired ballistic missiles towards Riyadh .
Turki al-Maliki said that "Iran has supplied the Houthis with a number of drones," adding that "the drones in possession of the Houthis are the same as of Hezbollah."
"The Iranian ship Saviz/Safiz plays a role of the operations room to threaten the navigation in Bab al-Mandab and provides the Houthis with information on all ships, as well as transports Iranian experts," Turki al-Maliki said.
Al-Maliki said that "the Iranian ship Saviz is supplying the Houthis with naval mines," showing a video of the Houthi training in planting marine mines.
