Saudi Arabia told the UN Security Council that the Iran-backed Houthi militias in Yemen were to blame for a missile attack on a petroleum products distribution plant in Jeddah on Monday, urging the 15-member body to “stop the threat” to global energy security, Yemen’s political process and regional security.

“It has been identified that the Houthis militia backed by Iran is responsible for the terrorist attack,” Saudi UN Ambassador Abdallah Al-Mouallimi wrote in a letter to the council late on Monday that was seen by Reuters.

He also said Saudi Arabia would “spare no efforts” to protect its territory and citizens.

The United Arab Emirates lifted a ban on its citizens travelling to Lebanon allowing trips to the country as of May 7, 2025, the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Sunday.
The decision came at the directives of UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan in a bid to bolster brotherly relations between the two countries.
The decision came after Lebanese President Joseph Aoun paid the UAE an official visit and met Al Nahyan. They discussed ways to bolster bilateral relations and agreed on easing travel restrictions.
The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized its commitment to the safety and security of UAE citizens abroad. It urged all those planning to travel to Lebanon to fully comply with the guidelines issued by the ministry to ensure a safe and orderly travel experience.
