Iran rejected today the accusations made by the United States that Yemen's Houthi rebels are affiliated with Tehran. Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs argued that the Houthis are "an independent Yemeni actor, which makes its own decisions".
The Iranian position comes as a direct response to the American accusations linking Tehran to the rebels. Iran thus sought to publicly deny any formal or operational connection to the rebel group.
The case involves three main actors: Iran, the United States, and Yemen's Houthi rebels. The Iranian rejection occurs in the context of international tensions over Iran's regional influence in the Middle East.
The information was reported by the Portuguese news agency Lus,a from Tehran, dated September 10, 2026.
