Recently, some reports have said that the Government of Oman has taken a step in collaboration with Saudi-Israel and UAE, in which it has been said that the King of Oman has tried to halt the Iran-Yemeni and Pro-Palestinian Pirates link, in which it has been said that Oman is now going to stop the smuggling of missiles and drones between Iran and Yemen through the southeastern ports and land borders. Recently, some reports have said that Yemen is getting weapons from both Iran and Russia, in which Israel now wants to completely block the weapons supply to Houthis with the help of US, UAE, Oman and Saudi Arabia, due to which it is keeping a close watch on Overland via Oman, Hybrid/Air-Land Networks, southern Red Sea ports or commercial air cargo, and Maritime (Primary Route) between Houthi and Iran. Iranian IRGC and Yemeni armed forces uses ‘Maritime Primary Routes’ that leads Small dhows or fishing boats depart Iranian ports (e.g., Bandar Abbas) via the Arabian Sea or Gulf of Aden, avoiding patrols by hugging the Horn of Africa coast or using Djibouti/Somalia as transit points.

Why has Oman’s Blocks Iran-Houthis military smuggling increased via Djibouti, Somalia and Yemeni armed forces?

It has recently been revealed that Iran and Yemen are currently using Oman’s southeastern ports and land borders to smuggle weapons on a large scale into Hadhramaut and Al-Mahrah provinces. Oman ports collection millions of Dollars for passing Iranian-Yemeni weapons through lands, Air and Ships. Israel now in talks with Oman, UAE, Yemeni Pro-Saudi Groups, and Red Sea-adjacent countries to stop arming Houthis and Yemeni armed forces. During the Israel-gaza war peak, Netanyahu blamed Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Oman, Qatar and Iran for arming Houthis operatives through flight or overland, returning with components hidden in “factory equipment” shipments. Backup sea routes via Somalia/Djibouti compensate for damaged ports like Hodeidah. Post-October 2023 Gaza war, Iran ramped up deliveries of precision ballistic missiles and drones, enabling Houthi strikes on Israel (e.g., Palestine-2 hypersonic variants in 2025) and Red Sea shipping. Houthis assemble ~70% of systems in Yemen using smuggled parts (e.g., guidance from Iran), but cannot produce engines or advanced seekers independently. This network violates UN Resolution 2216 and fuels regional instability, with global trade disruptions costing ~$200 billion annually from Red Sea rerouting. Recently, Yemen’s Houthi has announced a ‘Halts’ In their campaigns against Israel, US and Europe. Yemen says, if Israel flares Gaza again, the Yemeni drones & Missiles will bomb Tel Aviv.
