Multiple outlets report that Iran provides Yemen’s Houthi forces with targeting intelligence used in attacks on Saudi Arabia and Saudi-backed partners. The Wall Street Journal, citing people briefed on the information, describes the support as contributing to what it characterizes as the Houthis’ most sophisticated and potent operations in the period covered.
A separate report echoes that the intelligence and assistance underpin recent Houthi advances against Saudi-linked targets. It attributes the strengthening capabilities to external Iranian help, as discussed by a Yemen expert speaking to the WSJ. Other coverage frames the relationship as broader military cooperation, describing training and assistance related to drones and missiles, though the accounts differ in emphasis between intelligence support and wider technical guidance.
