Intelligence summary

Iranian weapons and military advice helped Yemen’s Houthis seize the strategic Red Sea port city of Mocha. Sources said Iran’s Revolutionary Guards helped guide the Houthi offensive, supplied weapons and personnel, and urged the group to step up attacks on Saudi Arabia. Saudi-backed Yemeni forces sought more air support, but Riyadh mostly provided logistics, intelligence and weapons to avoid escalation and Houthi drone attacks. Source: Reuters
