ARMS EXPORT

On September 30, 2015, the Saudi-affiliated al-Arabiya news reported that Saudi-led Coalition forces had intercepted an Iranian arms shipment en route to Yemen. The incident took place on September 26, 150 miles off the coast of Salalah, an Omani city near the Yemen border. Preliminary reports gave no indication as to which coalition country made the intercept. The boat in question was a small privately-owned dhow registered in Iran and licensed for fishing, en route for Yemen. Among the weapons identified there were 18 9M113 Konkurs ATGMs and 54 BGM-71 TOW ATGMs. By continuing such activities today, Iran may be violating the post-2014 resolutions restricting arms transfers to the Houthis and their local allies, the supporters of former Yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh.
