Rubio on the attacks of the Houthis on Saudi Arabia: We have a strong defense agreement with the Saudis and we will abide by it. Don't like what's happening there. Energy infrastructures were attacked not only by the Houthis but also by Shiite militias in Iraq that are an extension of Iran. Saudi Arabia is a partner of the USA, we have defensive obligations towards it, we have met them and we will meet them
