Negotiations for the supply of dozens of missiles with a range of around 300 km are ongoing, with new meetings in Tehran expected in the coming weeks.

Iran acted as an intermediary in secret negotiations between Russia and the Yemeni Houthis on the transfer of anti-ship missiles to this group. This was reported by Reuters citing sources.

Russia has not yet made a decision on the transfer of Yakhont missiles (also known as P-800 Onyx) that experts say will allow the militant group to more precisely target commercial ships in the Red Sea and increase the threat to those protecting their US and European warships.

Since November, the Houthis have been known to carry out repeated drone and missile attacks on key Red Sea shipping lines to show support for the Palestinians in the war with Israel in the Gaza Strip. They sank at least two ships and captured another, disrupting global maritime trade, forcing shipping companies to divert cargo and increasing insurance costs for ships transiting the Red Sea.

The Houthis and the Russians have met in Tehran at least twice this year, officials said. Negotiations for the supply of dozens of missiles with a range of around 300 km continue, with new meetings in Tehran expected in the coming weeks.

Russia has previously provided missiles Yakhont Iran-backed Hezbollah.

Recall that in August, the media reported that Russia was preparing to send missiles and other military equipment to Houthi rebels in Yemen late last month, but backed off amid behind-the-scenes efforts by the United States United States and Saudi Arabia to stop it. .
