Attacks on Saudi Arabia are unacceptable and dangerous and threaten civilians

On Monday, the United States condemned the attack launched by the Yemeni Houthis on Saudi oil facilities, and said the rebels had shown no seriousness about Washington’s peace efforts.

“We condemn the blatant Houthi drone and missile attack on Saudi Aramco facilities,” State Department spokesman Ned Price told reporters.
“The frequency of the Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, and attacks like this, are not the actions of a group serious about peace,” he said.

The US State Department has confirmed that the attacks on Saudi Arabia are unacceptable and dangerous and threaten civilians, and said: “The Houthis must demonstrate their intention and determination to join the political path.”

Earlier Monday, the White House assured Al Arabiya, in response to a question about the Houthi attacks, that it would support “Saudi Arabia in the defense of its lands.”

The White House has declared that “the Houthi attacks are dangerous and unacceptable and endanger civilians.”

He added: “We are cooperating with Saudi Arabia regarding the ongoing Houthi attacks.”

The White House said Saudi Arabia faces “serious security threats from the Houthis” in Yemen, as well as other countries in the region.

He stressed “continue to work closely with Saudi Arabia and strengthen its defense capabilities against threats.”

In addition, a spokesperson for the US Department of Defense (Pentagon) said, in an interview with reporters without cameras, that “the Middle East will remain a part of the vital interest of the United States, and Washington will maintain significant power in the region. “

The Pentagon has condemned the Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia.

The Saudi press agency quoted ministry spokesman Turki Al-Maliki as saying that the unmanned plane coming from the seaside was destroyed and shot down before reaching its target.
