PARIS: France on Thursday accused Iran of supplying weapons to Houthi militias in Yemen.
"There is a problem in Yemen, it is that the political process has not begun, that º£½ÇÖ±²¥ feels regularly attacked by the Huthis, who are themselves supplied with arms by Iran," French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian told RTL radio.
Iran has repeatedly denied arming the Houthis in Yemen, despite claims by the United States and º£½ÇÖ±²¥ that the evidence of an arms connection is irrefutable.
The Saudi-led Arab coalition on Monday said Iran was behind a barrage of Houthi missile attacks on the kingdom.
The UN Security Council on Wednesday condemned "in the strongest possible terms" the missile attacks launched by the Houthis on º£½ÇÖ±²¥, saying they posed a threat to regional security.
Saudi forces on Sunday intercepted seven missiles fired by the Houthi militias toward cities in º£½ÇÖ±²¥, including the capital Riyadh, killing one person.
