The report noted that IRGC Brig. Gen. Abdolreza Shahlai oversees all military, political, and economic activities related to the Iranian regime’s intervention in Yemen, including operations and attacks by the Houthi rebels. It highlighted his close association with Qassem Soleimani, the former commander of the Quds Force who was killed in Iraq by an order from then-President Trump in 2020. Soleimani was known for his involvement in attacks that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of American soldiers.
The report also found that the Iranian Embassy in Yemen is currently under “full control” of the Quds Force.
While it is not uncommon for intelligence agents to operate from foreign embassies, the report stated that there was no evidence of any personnel from Iran’s Foreign Ministry present at its embassy in Yemen.
The Iranian Embassy in Sana’a, Yemen, did not respond to Fox News Digital’s questions.

“The mullahs’ regime is the root cause of war and instability in the region, sustained through repression at home and the export of terrorism and conflict abroad,” Ali Safavi, a member of the NCRI’s Foreign Affairs Committee, told Fox News Digital. “The only viable solution to the Iranian crisis is the regime’s overthrow by the Iranian people.”
“A decisive international policy toward Iran must recognize and support the legitimacy of the Iranian resistance, proscribe the IRGC as a terrorist entity, activate the U.N. Security Council snapback mechanism and endorse the Resistance Units’ fight against the regime,” he added.
