Iran Flew IRGC Commanders and Missile Equipment to Yemen's Houthis

Four sources familiar with the matter said Iran flew IRGC commanders, military advisers, and missile- and drone-related equipment from Tehran to Yemen on July 13. Two Iranian sources said 10 to 21 IRGC personnel, including senior commanders, were aboard the Mahan Air flight, which diverted from Sanaa to Hodeidah after the airport came under attack. One source said the personnel would support Houthi operations and train forces on new missile systems, while gold was also carried to fund activity. Iran and Houthi officials did not immediately comment; both have previously denied that Tehran supplies the group with missile capabilities.
