An Iranian government based website islamicinvitationturkey.com referred to the Houthi rebel chief as the the Leader of Yemen’s Hezbollah Movement .
In an article dated April 19 2015 , the website reported the following:
“The Leader of Yemen’s Hezbollah movement has condemned Saudi Arabia’s military aggression against Yemen, saying that the US is “sponsoring and directing” the attacks on the impoverished country.
Abdul-Malik al-Houthi made the remarks in a televised address on Sunday in reaction to Saudi Arabia’s deadly attacks targeting Yemeni people across the country.”
All the Hezbollah organizations in the Middle East were reportedly established by the Quds Force which is the International arm of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard .
The Hezbollah militant group in Lebanon was established by the Quds Force in 1982 while the Hezbollah militant group in Iraq was established in 2008 .
BBC Arabic reported on March 27 that Qassem Suleimani the head of the Qods Force, who has been heading up the Iranian and Iraqi Shiite militia attack against the Islamic state in Tikrit since June 2014 was dispatched by the Islamic Republic of Iran reportedly to help organize the Shiite Houthi rebels following the Saudi-led airstrikes.
Iran has been vehemently denying that it has been providing military support to the Houthi rebels .
Lebanon’s Hezbollah chief attacks Saudi Arabia
On Friday The leader of Lebanon’s Iranian backed Shiite militant Hezbollah group launched his harshest criticism yet of Saudi Arabia, accusing the kingdom of spreading extremist ideology in the Muslim world and the killing of civilians in Yemen.
Hassan Nasrallah said via video link during his address to hundreds of supporters Friday at a Beirut rally in support of Yemen’s Iranian backed Shiite Houthi rebels that Saudi-led airstrikes targeting them have not led to victory.
Nasrallah said that the kingdom will soon realize that “the only choice left” is a ground operation in Yemen — a “ground invasion will be costly and will end with a defeat.”
