Al Jazeera: Houthis say they have secured aid package from Iran
Spokesperson says Tehran has pledged to expand Yemen's ports, help build power plants and provide Yemen with oil.
Yemen's de-facto rulers, the Shia Houthi rebels, say they have secured an economic aid package from Iran.
A delegation of Houthis just returned from Iran and a spokesperson said Iran had pledged to expand Yemen's ports, help build power plants and provide Yemen with enough oil to last a year.
Yemen is caught in a standoff between deposed president Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi and the Houthi rebels, who seized control of the capital Sanaa and staged a coup in February by dissolving the country's parliament and creating a "presidential council".
