IRGC Spokesperson Says Yemen's Gains Reflect Years of Resistance
Brigadier General Hossein Mohebbi credits Yemen's Ansarullah movement with achievements he says stem from sustained steadfastness.
The spokesperson for Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), Brigadier General Hossein Mohebbi, said that recent successes attributed to Yemen's Ansarullah movement are the result of years of endurance in difficult conditions, according to the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA).
Mohebbi described the movement's gains as rewards for what he called steadfastness in the toughest arenas, IRNA reported, though the outlet's excerpt did not provide additional details on the specific victories referenced or the context in which the remarks were made.
IRNA, Iran's official state news agency, did not immediately publish further elaboration from Mohebbi regarding the timing, location, or occasion of his statement.
The comments come amid Iran's longstanding public support for Yemen's Ansarullah movement, also known as the Houthis, which has been engaged in a prolonged conflict in Yemen. IRNA's report did not specify whether Mohebbi's remarks were made in a speech, interview, or statement to media.
