During a press conference in the city of Al-Mokha, the National Resistance announced the successful interception of an advanced Iranian arms shipment intended for the Houthi terrorist group. This intelligence operation took place on June 27 and marks a significant achievement for the Yemeni government. Brigadier General Sadiq Dweid, spokesperson for the National Resistance, emphasized that this seizure raises alarms about the expanding Iranian threat in Yemen and the broader region.
The intercepted shipment contained a variety of advanced military components, including:
Brigadier General Dweid compared the seized equipment to the weapons that the Houthis claim to manufacture locally. He confirmed that the intercepted arms match advanced Iranian systems, effectively disproving the Houthi narrative of “self-sufficiency” in weapon production.
The operation also uncovered a spying device from the Israeli company “Silberit,” along with surveillance cameras and lie detection equipment included in the shipment.
The National Resistance revealed that the militias attempted to disguise the shipment within civilian electrical materials. This interception marks the 13th operation linked to a smuggling network managed by the designated terrorist leader, Mohammed Ahmed Al-Talabi, known as “Abu Jaafar.”
Authorities have received credible information indicating that the militias, in collaboration with Iran, are working to develop biological weapons that pose a threat to regional and international security. This situation necessitates urgent action to mitigate these risks.
The National Resistance’s successful operation highlights the ongoing challenges posed by Iranian influence in the region and underscores the need for vigilance in addressing these threats.
