CENTCOM General Kurilla; “We commend the legitimate government forces of Yemen who continue to interdict the flow of Iranian munitions bound for the Houthis.”By Vered Weiss, World Israel NewsYemeni National Resistance Forces (NRF) intercepted 750 tons of munitions and hardware sent by Iran to the Houthis, US Central Command (CENTCOM) reported on X.This is the largest ever shipment intercepted by the forces that combat the Yemen-based terror group, which regularly disrupts shipping and fires missiles into Israel.Among the recovered items were weapons and military hardware, including hundreds of advanced cruise, anti-ship, and anti-aircraft missiles, along with warheads, guidance systems, components, drone engines, air defense systems, radar units, and communications gear.The equipment showed telltale signs of originating from Iran and companies associated with the Islamic regime’s Ministry of Defense; some even came with manuals written in Persian.CENTCOM wrote on X, “Yemeni partners successfully intercepted a massive Iranian weapons shipment bound for the Houthis.”The NRF, led by Gen. Tareq Saleh, fights alongside the legitimate government of Yemen against the Houthis, a terror group that seized control of many areas of the country.“The actions of the NRF support the United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) and are a direct reflection of their commitment to a safe Yemen, Red Sea, and Gulf of Aden,” CENTCOM continued.Gen. Michael Erik Kurilla, commander of CENTCOM, lauded the NRF, saying, “We commend the legitimate government forces of Yemen who continue to interdict the flow of Iranian munitions bound for the Houthis. The interdiction of this massive Iranian shipment shows that Iran remains the most destabilizing actor in the region. Limiting the free flow of Iranian support to the Houthis is critical to regional security, stability, and freedom of navigation.”In 2014, Yemen’s Houthi rebels seized the capital Sanaa and ousted the internationally recognized government with the backing of former President Ali Abdullah Saleh. Their takeover plunged the country into a protracted civil war and triggered a Saudi-led military intervention in 2015.The post Yemeni forces intercept 750 tons of Iranian weapons headed for the Houthis appeared first on World Israel News.
