Iran rejects links with Houthi rebels after US accusations

Iran rejected the United States' accusations that Yemen's Houthi rebels are affiliated with Tehran, arguing that the Ansarullah movement is an "independent Yemeni actor" that makes its own decisions and receives no orders from anyone. The spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Esmaeil Baqaei, stated that "Marco Rubio's lies cannot replace facts" and criticized the US military interventions and hegemonic policies in the region. This position comes after the US secretary of state stated that the Houthis are "agents and representatives of Iranians" and that "behind part of this is Iran's hand". The US embassy in Yemen reiterated that the Houthis' actions had "widely documented" support from Iran, while forces of the Saudi-led coalition reported missile and drone attacks by the rebels against three Saudi locations.
