The Houthi militia in Yemen are an Iranian proxy and should be designated as such, the UAE’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash said on Wednesday.
“Houthi relations with Iran, for long in search for proper designation, is clearer following their leadership’s meeting with Ayatollah Khamenei,” Gargash said in a tweet.
“Stated in black & white in their statement of fealty the Houthis are a proxy and that is the correct terminology,” he added.
