Υεμένη 22 6 2018 Ιρανικός στόλος πλέει για τον Κόλπο του Άντεν και τα Στενά της Ερυθράς

YEMENI WAR REPORT – JUNE 22, 2018: IRANIAN NAVY DISPATCHES WARSHIPS TO GULF OF ADEN On June 21, the Iranian Navy dispatched two warships to the Gulf of Aden, where a fierce battle is ongoing between the Ansar Allah movement (also known as the Houthis) and the Saudi-led coalition for the port city of al-Hudaydah. According to Iran’s Tasnim News Agency, Iran sent a helicopter-carrier and a naval destroyer. The deployment of Iranian warships in the area will likely further complicate relations between Riyadh and Teheran. However, two warships will not be enough to lift a naval blockade from al-Hudaydah. Meanwhile, the Houthis repelled another attempt by the Saudi-led coalition and its proxies to capture the al-Hudaydah airport in western Yemen recapturing most of the positions, which they had lost previously. A few dozens of Houthi fighters were killed or injured.
