At the United Nations General Assembly in New York, Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister accused Iran of carrying out attacks across the region and urged the international community to take action against the Houthi rebels in Yemen.
The statement was made during a speech in which the Saudi diplomat highlighted a series of incidents that the kingdom said were orchestrated by Iran. He described the attacks as “flagrant” and warned that they posed a threat to regional stability.
Saudi officials have long accused Iran of supporting the Houthi movement, which has been fighting the Yemeni government for several years. The call for action was framed as part of a broader effort to counter what Saudi Arabia sees as Iranian influence in the Middle East.
The remarks were delivered in the context of the UNGA’s annual session, where leaders from around the world discuss pressing global security issues. Saudi Arabia’s message was aimed at rallying international support for a coordinated response to the Houthi threat.
The country’s accusation comes amid ongoing tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran, as well as the broader conflict in Yemen, which has drawn attention from the United Nations and other international bodies.
