Former Foreign Minister Khaled al-Yamani said that the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and the terrorist Hezbollah are using Yemen as a testing ground for missiles and drones, by shedding the blood of the Yemeni people, threatening regional stability, and targeting civilian objects in neighboring countries.
Al-Yamani said, in an article published by the “Independent Arabia” platform, and titled: “The Terror of the Iranian Marches,” that the Tehran regime - and its arms in Yemen, Lebanon, Iraq and ISIS terrorism - adapted humanity’s creativity in favor of subversive projects, and turned them into tools of death and destruction.
He pointed out that the drones that are used in the world today in agriculture, distribution trade, monitoring forest fires, natural disasters and rescue operations, monitoring climate change, weather forecasting and border control, have become today in the hands of terrorists into tools of death and targeting of civilian objects and vital installations in our region.
He added that the Iranian regime took advantage of the spread of the components of this technology in the open market, and adopted the idea of rehabilitating its terrorist arms in Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen through a complex network of companies and agencies established by the "Revolutionary Guard" and "Hezbollah" in the world, which extends from China in the east to Greece in the west Turkey, Greece, Germany and Sweden, all the way to the coasts of eastern Africa, Gulf countries, and the eastern and western shores of Yemen.
Al-Yamani said that there are 10 official Iranian companies affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards, such as Bagheri and Behnam, that finance these purchases through more than 25 intermediary companies and commercial agencies distributed throughout the countries of the region.
He stressed that the Security Council has detailed lists of companies and leaders of the "Revolutionary Guard", "Quds Force" and "Hezbollah", which are supervising the delivery of necessary equipment to the Houthi militias, including Iranian and Lebanese terrorists, who are inside Yemen.
The former foreign minister warned of the danger of continuing the Yemeni experiment field in favor of international terrorism in the region, considering that the statements of Lebanese militia leader Hassan Nasrallah - in which he announced his willingness to sell drones to whomever he wants - "indicate that."
Al-Yamani said that during the period extending from the end of 2016 to the end of 2021, the Houthi militia launched about 851 drones in attacks against civilian objects inside Saudi Arabia, and 177 against the liberated Yemeni areas.
He noted that the military leaders of the Revolutionary Guards and the Quds Force have clearly stated on several occasions that they provide the Houthis with marches, their modernization and development in the theater of operations in Yemen, acknowledging that they will send officers to supervise the installation and launch of the marches, and that al-Houthi is an extension of Iran in the region.
The former foreign minister considered that the effective strategy pursued by the Arab coalition countries in settling and developing the march industry and its wide use in theaters of operations and benefiting from the experiences gained to target, monitor and neutralize the vital centers of militias and Houthi leaders "will assure everyone that playing with fire will be a great cost to Iran and its terrorist arms."
