The Houthis are seen as a proxy of Shiite Iran and are allied with former President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who ruled the country for more than three decades before he was ousted in 2012 after Arab Spring protests. While the militants deny any Iran link, their slogan, ?Death to Israel, Death to America!? is a variation of a popular Iranian slogan.
In recent years, Yemeni authorities have seized ships carrying Iranian weapons allegedly destined for the Houthis.
