NCRI – The Minister of International Program and Planning of Yemen condemned the Iranian regime’s meddling in the internal affairs of his country.
In an interview with the London based Arabic language daily Asharq Al Awsat on Monday March 18, Mohammad Al-Saadi said, “The Iranian regime does not give any support to Yemen except to send arms and money for specific groups to cause problems in the political process and destroy the security condition of the country.
Local security sources in Yemen had stated earlier that some 100 members of Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) including officers, managed to cross into Yemen via Lebanon while claiming to be Syrian refugees, National Yemen website reported on March 2.
According to the source, the Iranian regime’s guards entered Yemen using Syrian passports and they have gone to Sana’a, Aden and other Yemeni governorates.
“They formed secret cells and were assigned to carry out devastating operations in Yemen’s south and north,” the report quoted the source who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
The source said that Yemeni security forces were currently tracking one of the most dangerous cells, composed of six IRGC members, in Sana’a.
An Iranian regime’s dhow seized in January off the Yemeni coast was carrying at least 10 sophisticated Chinese heat-seeking antiaircraft missiles.
The shipment, which US officials portray as an attempt to introduce sophisticated new antiaircraft systems into the Arabian Peninsula, has raised concerns in Saudi Arabia, Oman and Yemen, as the weapons would have posed escalated risks to civilian and military aircraft alike, The New York Times reported on March 3.
