Government Denies Reuters Account That Iran Is Using Kuwaiti Waters For Arms-Smuggling To Houthis

Kuwait has denied a published account by Reuters charging that its waters were being used by Iran to smuggle weapons to Iran-backed Houthi forces in Yemen, reports a follow-up story by the news agency.

Reuters noted that Iran was previously believed to directly send weapons to Yemen via Somalia. However, that could lead to contact with international naval vessels deployed in the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. There is an arms embargo on Yemen.
