| Dubai -- An Iranian cargo ship will set sail for the rebel-held Yemeni port of Hodeida on Sunday evening, Iran’s Tasnim news agency said, in a move likely to fan further tensions with Saudi-led forces blockading the country. Tasnim reported that the cargo ship would carry 2,500 tonnes of humanitarian aid including food staples and medicine. Saudi Arabia and its Arab allies have accused Iran of seeking to smuggle weapons and ammunition to the Houthis
Yemen imports more than 90 per cent of its food and aid agencies have warned of a humanitarian catastrophe.
