Original Note:
Jeremy Corbyn was employed by Iranian state media outfit Press TV for a period of time. The Houthi are backed by Iran. As such, the credibility of this statement is reduced by his past payments from the same paymaster as the Houthis. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/jeremy-corbyn-press-tv-2012-11927924 https://www.businessinsider.com/jeremy-corbyn-paid-iran-press-tv-tortured-journalist-2016-6 https://www.wilsoncenter.org/article/who-are-yemens-houthis https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy1961
