Iran has stopped its weapons shipments to its Houthi allies in Yemen as part of the China-brokered deal to re-establish diplomatic ties with Saudi Arabia, The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing US and Saudi Arabian officials. By ending the weapons sales and shipments, it could "put pressure on the militant group to reach a deal to end the conflict," the WSJ said.
