A confidential United Nation report seen by Reuters announced that two missile launchers has recently been found in Yemen, which appeared to be made in Iran.

A 2016 UN resolution prevents Iran from importing and exporting arms or related materials.

Both Iran and Saudi Arabia have tremendously invested in Yemen’s civil war, supporting their proxies.

Iranian-backed Shiite militias of Houthis are subject to arm embargo since 2015 and Iran has frequently denying arming the group despite the evidences, which shows Tehran’s active involvement in Yemen.

According to the recent report, some parts of the two missile launchers found in Yemen are manufactured by Iran.

US president Donald Trump pulled out of the 2015 Iran Nuclear deal in May, called the deal “worst ever” agreement, which was signed during Barak Obama’s administration.

Tramp’s administration has a special focus on Islamic Republic’s missile program and transferring weapons to its proxy forces.
