Yemen's Minister of Information, Muammar Al-Ariani, has said that a group of Houthi militias in Hodeidah has admitted to being involved in arms smuggling from Iran.
According to Arab News, Tehran's involvement in arming the group and undermining ceasefire efforts has been confirmed.

In the video statement, the Yemenis admitted to smuggling weapons from Iran's Port Bandar Abbas to a dealer working for the Houthis in Hodeidah, Yemen.
Yemenis working for the Houthis say that all such operations have been monitored by Iran's Revolutionary Guard experts.
In one of his tweets, Muammar has said that the confessions of arms smuggling operations are a clear violation of international law.
These confirmations of the continued supply of arms to the Houthi militia underscore Iran's role in undermining Yemen's efforts to de-escalate.
The Yemeni Minister of Information has alleged that Iran is using the Houthis to kill Yemeni civilians, create regional instability and promote terrorism in violation of international law.
Muammar Al-Ariani has also accused Iran of using Hodeidah ports for arms smuggling, taking advantage of the UN-brokered Stockholm agreement.
Yemen's Minister of Information has called on the international community and members of the United Nations to clearly condemn Iran's subversive policies and put real pressure to stop interfering in Yemen's affairs.
Earlier, the Yemeni army has repeatedly accused Iran-backed militias of violating the ceasefire.
The ceasefire was extended for the third time earlier this month after a series of attacks on Yemeni soldiers and civilians.
