The Houthi militia is facing intense pressure from Iran demanding that they transport the body of Iranian missile expert, Hussein Khasrawy, to Tehran for a proper burial, according to sources close to the militia’s leaders.
Khasrawy died during a coalition air raid on Saturday in the Arhab district in Sanaa. According to Yemeni news websites, the militia is incapable of transporting the body.
They currently transferred the body of Khasrawy to one of their supporting hospitals, al-Moaid, located north of Sanaa.
