Saudi Arabia: The latest attacks by the Houthis are carried out with the encouragement of Iran; "20 attacks" at Riyadh airport On Thursday, October 15, a Saudi Arabian foreign ministry official accused the Islamic Republic of Iran of encouraging the Houthis in Yemen to continue fighting with that country and said Tehran continues to arm and train the group. Raad Karimli, Saudi Arabia's deputy foreign minister for public diplomacy, said in a virtual press conference with reporters: "Iran continues to arm, train and support the Houthi militias, which is a violation of UN Security Council resolutions. He added: "We believe that the intensification of the Houthi attacks in the last phase of the conflict is happening with the encouragement of Iran." According to Agence France-Presse, this Saudi official said that Saudi Arabia is still in contact with Iran, although Tehran does not seem to want to make concessions. "We still have direct ties with Iran," Karimli told reporters. He added: "In general, it still does not appear that the Iranians can provide the necessary concessions to achieve a solution." This Saudi official further accused the Houthis of refusing to meet in Oman in recent weeks and at the same time escalating the conflict between the two sides. A spokesman for the Iran-backed Houthi militias announced on Wednesday additional shipments to the Riyadh airport as well as to Aramco's oil facilities in the Saudi Arabian capital and the city of Dhahran.
