\u201cBrig. Gen. Abu al-Fadl Shikaraji, spokesman for the Iranian military, represented the first official admission of the role of the mullahs\u2019 regime in Iran in managing, supporting and arming the coup that the Houthi militia carried out against the the state of Yemen and its people. This brazen admission casts a clear light on Tehran\u2019s destabilizing role in the security and stability of Yemen and the region.

In addition, it was a flagrant violation of U.N. Security Council Resolutions 2216 and 2511, directly challenging the will of the international community to end the war and establish peace in Yemen.\u201d\u00a0 See \u201cIran admits managing Yeman coup by Houthi militia.
