Anti-aircraft missiles Iran was trying to ship to Yemeni proxy were made at factory of state-owned Chinese corp.

It has been confirmed that the anti-aircraft missiles that Iran, according to American and Yemeni officials, was trying to send to its proxy, Houthi, in northwestern Yemen, in January were made at a factory represented by a state-owned Chinese corporation. The Iranian shipment was seized in Jan. by the United States Navy and Yemen’s security forces. It should be noted here that Iran has been accused of supplying weapons to its Middle Eastern proxies several times before also, but has always denied the charges, saying the United States and its Western allies have been doing false propaganda against the country. This time, however, there has been no comment by Iran so far.
Iran is a Shiite-led theocracy and believed to be a strong supporter of the Shiite community-dominated Middle Eastern states, including Syria, where the Shiite minority has been ruling the Sunni majority for decades. In a number of other Muslim countries as well, Iran is considered supportive of the Shiite community and like-minded groups.
