U.S. Sec. of State links Iran to Yemen incidents

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio accused Iran of being behind the recent Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, confirming that the Houthis act as proxies for Iran and that Tehran is clearly involved in these events. He indicated that the United States is closely monitoring the situation and supports strong military and defensive relations with Saudi Arabia, reminding that Yemeni forces are resisting Houthi attempts to advance militarily. Rubio's remarks come during a tour of Latin America that includes Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, following the right-wing victory in regional elections.
