Yemen Enformasyon Bakanı Muammer el-İryani, yaptığı yazılı açıklamada, sahil güvenlik güçlerinin ülkenin doğusundaki Mahra vilayeti açıklarında İran’a ait bir gemiye el koyduğunu aktardı.
Gemide 3 bin 173 kilogram uyuşturucu madde ele geçirildiğini belirten İryani, İran vatandaşı 7 kişilik mürettebatın gözaltına alındığını ifade etti.
Enformasyon Bakanı İryani, Birleşmiş Milletler Güvenlik Konseyinden “İran’ın bölgeyi silahlı milisler ve uyuşturucu sevkiyatıyla doldurma çabalarını” kınamasını istedi.
İran makamlarından konuya ilişkin henüz açıklama gelmedi.
Yemen’de İran destekli Husiler, Eylül 2014’ten bu yana başkent Sana ve bazı bölgelerin denetimini elinde bulunduruyor.
Suudi Arabistan öncülüğündeki koalisyon güçleri ise Mart 2015’ten itibaren Husilere karşı Yemen hükümetine destek veriyor.

Yemen, located at the southern end of the Arabian Peninsula, has been embroiled in a complex civil war since 2014. The conflict has created a state of instability and insecurity in the country, which has also led to a boom in drug trafficking in and through the country.
Recently, Yemeni officials announced that they intercepted and seized a vessel loaded with three tons of drugs. The vessel, which was claimed to be Iranian, was sailing towards Somalia when it was held. The Yemeni government has accused Iran of supporting the Houthi rebels, who control a significant portion of the country, and of using the country as a transit point for drug trafficking.
The seizure of the vessel is a significant blow to the drug syndicates that have been exploiting the Yemeni conflict to expand their operations. Yemen is situated at the crossroads of several drug trafficking routes, including those that originate in Afghanistan, which is the source of the majority of the world’s opium production. The country’s porous borders, weak law enforcement institutions, and political unrest have made it an ideal location for drug smugglers.
The conflict in Yemen has also made it difficult for the authorities to counter drug trafficking. The country’s ports and airports are controlled by various factions, and the government’s limited resources are focused on fighting the war. The drug trade has fueled corruption and has been a significant source of funding for the various armed groups.
Drug addiction has become rampant in Yemen, especially among the younger generation, as a result of the easy availability of drugs. The high profitability of the drug trade has also contributed to the proliferation of weapons and the expansion of the black market economy.
The seizure of the Iranian vessel is a significant development in the fight against drug trafficking in Yemen. However, it’s unlikely that the crackdown will have a long-term impact on the drug trade in the country. The larger issue of the civil war, which has created a power vacuum, will need to be addressed before any meaningful progress can be made in combating drug trafficking.
In conclusion, the interception of the Iranian vessel carrying three tons of drugs highlights the severity of the drug trafficking problem in Yemen. The country’s political unrest and weak law enforcement institutions have made it an ideal location for drug syndicates looking to expand their operations. The international community must support Yemen in its efforts to combat drug trafficking and help bring an end to the civil war, which is the root cause of the country’s insecurity and instability.
