Saudi Arabian naval blockade on the Yemeni coast is aiming to halt Eritrean weapon smuggling from reaching rebels.
Saudi Arabia is trying to stop weapons reaching Al-Houthi rebels in Northern Yemen by imposing a naval blockade at both its eastern and western shores.
Earlier on Monday, the Independent Paper al-Ahali said that the Iranian revolutionary guards train al-Houthi rebels in camps in neighboring Eritrea. The paper also said that the Iranian revolutionary guards transport the weapons through the Eritrean harbor of Asab to Yemen’s harbor of Midi.
