Huthi rebels: Not supported by Iran – “own capabilities”
Iran is supporting Huthi rebels' attacks on ships in the Red Sea with weapons and "real-time intelligence", writes the Wall Street Journal.
According to the newspaper, the information has been confirmed by intelligence sources at both regional and national levels.
However, the Houthi rebels refute the information.
