"The Coalition's command considers the Iranian regime's action in supplying the Houthi militias that it commands with these missiles to be a blatant violation of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Resolutions that prohibit nations from arming these militias, specifically UNSC Resolution (2216)," the statement said.
It also said it considers "Iran's role and its direct command of its Houthi proxy" a "blatant act of military aggression by the Iranian regime, and could be considered as an act of war against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia."
While closing all points of entry to Yemen, the Coalition command said it will "take into consideration the continuation of the entry and exit of humanitarian supplies and crews in accordance with the Coalition’s updated procedures."
It urged Yemeni civilian and humanitarian crews and diplomatic missions to avoid areas of combat operations, areas populated by the Houthi armed militia, smuggling routes of Houthis, and missile launch sites of Houthis. Western analysts have said the smuggling of Iranian weapons to Houthi insurgents have continued despite efforts to stop them since the Coalition sent forces to Yemen to restore the government of President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi in March 2015. A Reuters report on March 23, 2017, had said that from September 2015 until March 2016, "the French and Australian navies frequently intercepted "weapons which officials said were most likely bound for the Houthis." It also quoted a US defense official as saying Iranian weapons smuggling to the Houthis had continued since March 2016, and that the equipment included "long-range ballistic missiles capable of reaching deep into Saudi Arabia."
