Iran US relations: Tehran demands the release of frozen assets upfront and adds Yemen conditions following the collapse of a prior agreement, hardening its stance against Washington in the ongoing Middle East conflict.
The issue of Yemen was not on the agenda of the previous agreement. We are now demanding that the lifting of the blockade on Yemen be included in the agreement," he said.
There’s absolutely no way we can outblockade the Houthis…
They live and operate in cave networks that our best bombs can’t get to, and we wasted them already anyways…
They just sit in there making their own drones from raw materials, the only component they need is a gps unit. When their original leader was found, the only way to get him out was fill his tunnel with gas and set it on fire. Every last member is equally willing to die today or live 60 more years in a cave and then die the same way.
Mohebi rejected the suggestion that the Houthis were acting on instructions from Tehran. He said the Houthis “makes its own decisions and does not need to coordinate with us for anything in the world”.
That’s also bullshit, Iran funds and controls multiple groups like the Houthis.

They’re talking about the blockade of Yemen, which is to say the crime against humanity being committed by Saudi Arabia with Western support for over a decade. Given that the Houthis didn’t starve tens of thousands of children to death or push almost 20 million people (almost two thirds of the whole damn country) into famine I’d say they have been thoroughly outblockaded.

Iran funds them, but doesn’t control them. They’re close allies because they have the same enemies, no mutually exclusive ambitions and similar (but very much not the same) sets of beliefs. Famously Hamas didn’t consult Iran when they launched October 7th.
