Arab Parliament (AP) Speaker Mishaal Al-Salami on Friday condemned the Houthi coup militia’s launching of an explosive drone and a ballistic missile towards the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, both of which were intercepted by the Arab Coalition on Thursday evening.
He stressed that the Iranian regime bears full responsibility for these cowardly terrorist attempts saying the Iranian regime is bent on destroying the Arab region by continuing to supply the Houthi coup militia with advanced weapons, ballistic missiles, drones, experts and military advisors.
He said that the international community's failure to take decisive measures against the Iranian regime is helping Iran to insist more turning Yemeni territories into a launchpad for targeting neighboring countries.
Al-Salami said that the UN Security Council rejecting a US resolution to extend an international arms embargo on Iran has signaled to the cleric-led authorities in Tehran that they can continue with their aggressive policy and vandalizing activities in the region.
According to the AP speaker, not extending the arms embargo has sent the message to Iran that it can proceed with its logistics, financial and military support to terrorist organizations and push on with its targeting of neighboring countries.
“This can be reflected by the repeated Houthi terrorist attacks over the last period,” Al-Salami said.
Al-Salami, in a written letter directed to the UNSC and the UN chief, urged the international community to bear its political, legal, security and moral responsibility towards extending the arms embargo against Iran before it expires in October.
His demand comes to stop the Iranian regime from acquiring more weapons and to limit its ability to develop its traditional military capabilities which threaten the regional and international peace and stability.
Al-Salami reiterated AP’s support for the efforts exerted by the Saudi-led Arab Coalition which backs the internationally-recognized government in Yemen.
