"U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley stood amid missile fragments at a military base in Washington Thursday to show what she called proof that Iran is supplying Houthi rebels in Yemen with weapons in 'absolute and undeniable violations' of UN resolutions.
Charts and photographs were on display next to the missile parts, which were provided by Saudi Arabia. They showed, Haley said, that the weapon fired at the main airport in the Saudi capital Riyadh on Nov. 4 was an Iranian-made Qiam ballistic missile. She said Iran is providing weapons in violation of long-standing UN embargoes on Iran arms exports as well as its obligations under the 2015 deal with world powers to curb its nuclear program...
At the UN in New York, U.K. Ambassador Matthew Rycroft said the evidence was compelling but cautioned that not everyone on the Security Council may agree. Asked about Haley's evidence that Iran had supplied the Houthis with missiles, Sweden's Ambassador Olof Skoog said 'the information that I have up to now is less clear.'
The latest report to the UN secretary-general on Iran's compliance with the nuclear deal said that 'the Secretariat is still analyzing the information collected' on the missiles fired by the Houthis 'and will report back to the Security Council, as appropriate, in due course.'
But it also cited evidence that 'arms and related materiel seized by the United States aboard a dhow in the vicinity of the Gulf of Oman in March 2016' are identical to some that were previously found to be 'of Iranian origin and shipped from the Islamic Republic of Iran.'..."
