Washington, Jumada I 17, 1437, February 26, 2016, SPA -- US Secretary of State John Kerry announced today that Iran continues to support the militants of al-Houthi group and forces loyal to Ali Saleh and their coup against Yemeni President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi. In a speech to US lawmakers, Kerry said, "We have stopped a shipment of weapons coming from Iran to Yemen, which is evidence of the continuation of Iran's support for some groups." The navy of the coalition detained last week a ship carrying relief and food supplies, including high-tech communications devices. The spokesman of the coalition forces and advisor at the Minister of Defense's Office Brigadier General Ahmed bin Hassan Asiri said that it was on its way to the Houthis. --SPA 03:21 LOCAL TIME 00:21 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
