Aden, Newsyemen:

The leader who defected from the Houthi group, Ali Al-Bukhaiti, confirmed that Hassan Irloo, who was recently appointed Iranian ambassador to the Houthi militia, has no relationship with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and is not associated with it at all, but rather is responsible for the Yemeni file in general, and that his link is direct with the office of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution in Iran.

Al-Bukhaiti, who was a member of the militia’s political bureau, considered that the appointment of "Hassan Irloo" as the Iranian ambassador to the Houthis carries very dangerous implications, especially as he was among the leading cadres of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

He also indicated, in a series of tweets on his Twitter account, that “Irloo” was responsible for delivering financial allocations to militias in Yemen and Lebanon, stressing that his appointment as ambassador is nothing more than a cover for the real role he will play in Yemen, and that he is in fact only a mediator between the Houthi militia and the Iranian regime.

Al-Bukhaiti said, "Irloo" is a fanatical ideologist, and works directly with Ali Khamenei's office, and has absolutely nothing to do with the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, pointing out that he (Irloo) was previously wounded in the Iran-Iraq war, and was among the Revolutionary Guards.

In another tweet, the leader who defected from the Houthi group said: “The appointment of Erlo as an ambassador in Sana'a has very dangerous implications and dimensions, by virtue of his relations with most of the Houthi leaders.

He used to host them and give them allocations in Beirut and Iran and also send to Yemen as well during the last decade, and he had moral influence over them by virtue of the fact that he fed them from hunger and enriched them from poverty.
