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.

Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi affirmed that the council's position on the Russia-Ukraine crisis is based on international law and the United Nations Charter, which emphasizes the need to maintain an international order based on respect for the sovereignty of states, the integrity of their territories, and their political independence, as well as non-interference in their internal affairs and the prohibition of the use or threat of force, SPA reported.
