Middle East
A senior Iranian official
has warned Saudi Arabia that it is endangering the entire Middle East with its
U.S.-supported aerial bombardment of Iranian-backed al-Houthi positions in
neighboring Yemen. The
warning comes just as questions are being raised on just what is U.S. policy,
since it is backing Shiite Iran in bombing Sunni Islamic State positions in
Iraq but supports Sunni Saudi Arabia in Yemen. In slamming the Saudis, who are
leading a 10-nation coalition of Sunni countries attacking the Houthis in
Yemen, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein
Amir-Abdollahian said the Saudi military attacks are a “strategic mistake.”
