Iranian support for Houthis in Yemen is ‘significant’ and ‘lethal’: US envoy Lenderking

LONDON: Iranian support for the Houthis in Yemen is “significant” and “lethal,” the special envoy for the country said during a US State Department briefing on Wednesday.

Tim Lenderking told lawmakers that Iran has shown no indication of wanting a constructive resolution to the conflict, adding that the US would welcome the idea of Tehran playing a positive role if the regime was willing to do so.
