Washington, Dec 20: The United States has strongly condemned the “reckless” Houthi missile attack on Riyadh.
In a press statement, Heather Nauert, Department of State spokesperson, on Tuesday said: “We remain deeply disturbed by aggressive Houthi actions supported by Iran’s provision of advanced weapons, which threaten regional security and prolong the Yemen conflict.
The United States calls on Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to stop arming and enabling the Houthis’ violent actions against Yemen’s neighbors, including Saudi Arabia,” the statement added.
“A political solution is the only way to advance long-term stability in Yemen and end the suffering of the Yemeni people.
We urge all parties to immediately cease hostilities, avoid retaliatory measures and return to political negotiations under the auspices of the United Nations,” it said.
