The boat, called Mahan-1, was pictured on the satellite TV station as Yemeni security forces searched it after seizing it. A Yemeni government spokesman said, “Security forces have arrested 5 Iranian nationals and seized a boat containing arms on Yemen’s coastline.” Yemeni officials stress, “The Iranian boat contained anti-tank missiles and the people arrested are experts in arms and military training.” Yemeni officials have repeatedly protested over the Iranian regime’s meddling in the country’s internal affairs. |
