Iran is helping the Houthi rebels try to secure Russian anti-ship missiles, Reuters reported, citing three Western and regional sources.
Two regional officials aware of the talks said the Houthis and Russians have met at least twice this year in Tehran, where discussions to supply the missiles were underway.
They added that more meetings are expected in the coming weeks.
Are they carrying goods destined for Israel?
As in goods going to Jeddah would ultimately get shipped to Iseral? I have no idea if Saudi Arabia is being used as a pass through.
It is at least from the UAE passing through Saudi Arabia and Jordan.

Given that these news are half a year old and Saudis don’t like to talk about it, but do the business, it is very much possible that goods go from Jeddah to Israel too.
