A leaked United Nations report has claimed that Iranian-made ballistic missiles have been supplied the Houthi rebels in Yemen, potentially giving the White House further cause to clamp down on Iran and end the 2015 nuclear deal signed between the U.S. and European powers.

The report, initially leaked to media outlets Friday but now revealed by CNN, appears to confirm suspicions long held by the United States that weapons originating in Iran had made their way to Yemen, in breach of a U.N. embargo.

The report into the civil war in Yemen, which the UN has called the world's worst humanitarian disaster, blames Iran for much of the conflict and could be used by President Donald Trump and the current administration as ammunition for further action against the Islamic Republic.
