The Lebanon-based Houthi movement increased its efforts to procure additional weapons from Iran, Politico reported on Sunday, citing intelligence reports from the United States and other Western nations.
The intelligence reportedly suggests a proactive pursuit by the rebels to bolster their arsenal, heightening tensions in the strategically significant Red Sea region and raising concerns about the group's intent to intensify attacks on shipping in the area.
In response to the strikes conducted thus far, the US and the UK both targeted Houthi positions in Yemen.
