The US State Department announced, on Wednesday, that the Iranian regime had smuggled Hassan Irloo, a member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, to Yemen under the cover of an "ambassador" to the Houthi rebel militia.

The United States, on behalf of the US State Department, Morgan Ortagus, said in a tweet on its Twitter account that Iran's intention to use the Houthis to expand its malicious influence is clear.

Ortagus called on the Yemeni people to stand up to Iran and its ambassador.

Last week, Iran announced the arrival of "Irloo" in Sanaa, describing him as an "extraordinary and full-fledged ambassador."
