America: Iran's support for armed groups in the region threatens international and regional security

The US State Department said that "Iran's support for armed groups in the region threatens international and regional security, our forces, diplomats, and citizens in the region, as well as our partners in the region and elsewhere."

This came in a statement by US State Department spokesman Ned Price, and the German News Agency (dpa) received a copy of it.

According to the statement, which was issued late yesterday, the smuggling of weapons from Iran to the Houthis in Yemen is a "flagrant violation" of a United Nations embargo.
