Iran supplies Houthis with missile fuel materials, radar systems, and hundreds of drones. Should the response be against Iran instead of just the Houthis? Absolutely.
According to Defense Line, Iran has been supplying the Houthis with dangerous materials essential for making solid fuel for ballistic missiles. Intelligence reports confirm that the Iran-backed terror group possesses chemical weapons, radioactive materials, and equipment for military production.
This support has increased following Israeli strikes on Iran and its proxies in Lebanon, Syria, Gaza, and Iraq. Since November 2023, the Houthis have launched hundreds of ballistic missiles in what they call support for “the resistance in Palestine,” while threatening international shipping and banning passage through the Red Sea, Bab el-Mandeb, the Gulf of Aden, and the Arabian Sea.
The Houthis, mirroring Iran's strategy, are focusing on medium-range missiles (1,000–3,000 km) that use solid fuel. These are easier to store and prepare than liquid-fueled missiles, granting the Houthis a sustainable and efficient operational capacity.
A security source told Defense Line the group might now have mixers to combine ammonium nitrate with aluminum—further evidence that Iran transferred both materials and know-how. This presents a direct threat to regional and global security.
The Houthis have also tried to smuggle hydrogen fuel cell components, guided artillery rockets, European-made engines for cruise missiles, radar systems, ship-tracking devices, and hundreds of commercial drones—highlighting the scale of their Iranian-backed military buildup.
NEWSRAEL: Tehran cannot hide any longer behind their proxies, nor their empty threats. Houthi attacks on Israel should be answered with attacks in Iran.
