A boat carrying Iranian weapons destined for Yemeni rebels has been intercepted in the Red Sea, local Yemeni officials have said.
The Iranian crew and a cargo of mostly anti-tank shells were seized near Midi an official told the AFP news agency.
Iranian state television quoted “informed sources” denying the story.
The Yemeni central government has not commented but officials have long accused the rebels of receiving Iranian support, a claim Tehran denies.
