BEIRUT: Hezbollah says its leader has met with a delegation from the Houthi militia.

The Lebanese militant group said Sunday that Hassan Nasrallah met with a delegation headed by Houthi spokesman Mohamad Abdelsalam to discuss the latest developments in Yemen’s war.

Hezbollah is believed to train and support the Iran-backed Shiite Houthi fighters, who are at war with a Saudi-led coalition allied with Yemen’s internationally recognized government.

Hezbollah, which is also an Iran-allied Shiite group, says the Houthis are fighting a war against “Saudi and American imperialism.”

Iran supports the Houthis but denies arming them.
