- Saudi Arabia WAR Fear: Saudis Gets US and EU Backing at Iran ‘Act of WAR’ Missile Attack

THE UNITED States has joined Saudi Arabia in pointing the finger at Iran for the recent failed missile attack on Riyadh.
–
While President Trump continues his 12-day tour of Asia, the White House has condemned the missile attack by Yemen’s Houthi militias on Saudi Arabia and said Iran “enabled” the launch amid increasing instability in the Middle East.
–
In a statement, the White House said: “Houthi missile attacks against Saudi Arabia, enabled by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, threaten regional security and undermine UN efforts to negotiate an end to the conflict.”
–
The news comes after Saudi Crown prince Mohammed bin Salman accused Iran of arming militias – something he branded a “clear act of aggression” which could be considered “an act of war”.
–
Iran has denied the accusations and instead mocked Saudi Arabia. The country’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif posted on Twitter this week: “KSA [the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia] bombs Yemen to smithereens, killing 1000s of innocents including babies, spreads cholera and famine, but of course blames Iran.
–
“KSA is engaged in wars of aggression, regional bullying, destabilising behaviour & risky provocations. It blames Iran for the consequences.” Yesterday, Iran’s deputy foreign minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi has accused Washington of trying to “cloud the atmosphere” for foreign firms considering investing in Iran after President Trump declared the US would decertify the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran last month.
