🔴The Houthis are leading Iranian supply routes to the Muslim Brotherhood in Sudan.
⚠️Fighters affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood's army in Sudan are preparing a truck-mounted recoilless rifle.
The unit appears to be using a prominent Iranian-made DIO SPG-9 73mm recoilless rifle equipped with a Zafar anti-tank missile.
Intelligence sources reported that representatives of the Houthi group held meetings last week with Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated groups to discuss new mechanisms and routes for transferring Iranian military technology, including drones and missiles, through smuggling networks operating in the Red Sea and the Horn of Africa.
The sources, who requested anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter, said the discussions covered logistical arrangements and maritime routes believed to be used for transporting military components and materials related to the manufacture and operation of drones and guided munitions.
According to the sources, the Houthi group relies on smuggling networks extending between Yemen and the Horn of Africa, utilizing staging points and temporary storage sites near the western coast of the Red Sea. These sites are used to transport and assemble some military components before redirecting them to other destinations in the region.
The sources added that these networks exploit the traditional infrastructure of maritime smuggling operations in the region, which has been active for years in transporting goods and weapons across the Red Sea.
Edrak obtained the names of five Houthi leaders believed to have participated in coordinating or managing activities related to arms transfers and smuggling operations. Among them is Mansour al-Saadi, the Houthi naval chief of staff, who was previously sanctioned by Washington for his role in military operations and attacks targeting international shipping in the Red Sea.
The sources also indicated the participation of Jamil Yahya Zar’ah, Aqil Ahmed al-Shami, Mohammed Ahmed al-Talibi, and Mohammed Fadl Abdul-Nabi in meetings held last week with Muslim Brotherhood figures in the Arus area on the Red Sea coast.
The sources confirmed that some shipments related to these arrangements have already arrived in Port Sudan in recent weeks, but noted the lack of independent, verifiable information regarding the nature or size of these shipments.
These developments come at a time of growing regional and international concern about the expansion of arms smuggling networks across the Red Sea and the potential threat they pose to maritime security and stability in the region.
