The AP's investigation reveals that Iran had begun providing the Houthis with stepped-up training and logistical support on advanced missiles, drones, and uncrewed attack boats starting last year, with the offensive marking the culmination of this escalated support. The Houthis' seizure of the Red Sea coast and closure of a key Saudi pipeline strengthened their ability to choke off Saudi Arabia's oil exports, pushing up global fuel prices and giving Iran greater leverage.
“Last year, Iran began providing the Houthis with stepped-up training and logistical support on more advanced missiles, drones and uncrewed attack boats.”
