Iran ‘strongly denies’ arming Yemen rebels

Tehran, (MILLAT ONLINE):Tehran strongly denied on Wednesday that it had supplied weapons to Yemeni rebels which they used in attacks on its archfoe Saudi Arabia as alleged by both Riyadh and Washington.
“We have no arms link with Yemen,” foreign ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi told the ISNA news agency, after Saudi Arabia said it had intercepted a rebel missile over Riyadh on Tuesday that it suggested was “Iranian-manufactured”.
“The accusation that Iran gives weapons to various groups is rejected and we strongly deny it,” he said.
