French forces seize Iranian weapon shipment sent to Houthis in Yemen

TL;DR

French special forces recently intercepted a shipment of Iranian-supplied weapons and ammunition destined for the Tehran-backed Houthi militia in Yemen, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing officials familiar with the operation.

Iran openly supports the Houthis politically, but denies any weapon transfers in violation of UN resolutions
