Iran rejects U.S. accusations of funding and arming Yemen's Houthis

Tehran, Feb 14 (UNI) Iran's permanent mission to the United Nations (UN) in New York has rejected the U.S. accusation that Tehran is providing the Yemen-based Houthis with financial resources, arms support, and military training.
Speaking at a UN Security Council briefing on Yemen on Thursday, Dorothy Shea, acting U.S. ambassador to the UN, said, "Iran's continued and unprecedented provision of weapons components, financial support, and training and technical assistance to the Houthis over more than a decade violates the arms embargo this council imposed on the group," calling on the Security Council members to press Iran "to stop arming, funding, and training the Houthis."
In response to Shea's remarks, Iran's UN mission submitted a letter on Thursday to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and Fu Cong, rotating president of the UN Security Council for February, Iran's official news agency IRNA reported.
