White House says Tehran is providing Yemeni rebel group with weapons and tactical intelligence.
The United States has accused Iran of being “deeply involved” in attacks by Houthi rebels on commercial ships in the Red Sea.
Tehran’s support for the Yemeni rebel group includes both weapons and tactical intelligence, the White House said on Friday as it presented newly declassified intelligence purporting to show Iranian involvement in the attacks.
“We know that Iran was deeply involved in planning the operations against commercial vessels in the Red Sea,” White House national security spokeswoman Adrienne Watson said in a statement.
“This is consistent with Iran’s long-term material support and encouragement of the Houthis’ destabilising actions in the region.”
“This is an international challenge that demands collective action,” Watson said.
