A U.S. grand jury indicted two Iranian brothers, Shahab Mir'Kazei and Yunus Mir’kazei, as well as Pakistan national Muhammad Pahlawan for allegedly smuggling Iranian arms to the Houthis aboard a dhow in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. The Mir'kazei brothers, who work for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, had hired Pahlawan to smuggle the weapons. U.S. Navy forces interdicted the dhow in January and discovered a cache of advanced Iranian-made conventional weapons.
