The 14-strong crew was also arrested by Arab authorities, according to an al-Arabiya report." - Source: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/saudi-led-coalition-seizes-yemen-bound-iranian-arms-shipment-1521810
Seems shipment contained Iranian built Troophan ATGMs too (TOW derivate).

That's a concurs copy. Toophan missile is literally a TOW1A copy.
Look at the launcher on the left, and missile canister laying on the ground, one closer to person taking picture its Troophan.
Here you can see it being used by Iranians.
Missile without canister that you are refering to is truly Tosan, Konkurs derivate, but it has been taken out of the canister. I wasnt really even paying attention to it since there is quite alot of Konkurs launchers in Yemen, its not exotic to say. Troophan on other hand is very exotic.
Take note that Iranians have multiple versions of both, so they are quite hard to track, also they made improved versons of their original Troophan which actually remind alot of further US TOW derivates.
