RIYADH: Yemen’s government condemned Iran for supplying the Houthis with weapons and ballistic missiles on Thursday, a day after the USsaid it had seized guided missile parts heading to the country.

Yemen’s government added that it would not allow the country to be used for “Iranian projects” that threatened international navigation anddestabilized the security and stability of neighboring countries.

USofficials said Wednesday that theUSS Forrest Shermanlast week seized a “significant cache” of suspected Iranian guided missile parts from a small ship in the northern Arabian Sea.
