WASHINGTON — The United States condemned the Houthis' continuous attacks on Saudi Arabia, stressing that the Iranian-backed militia is a threat to its allies.

US State Department Spokesman Ned Price said, during the virtual press conference, that Saudi Arabia was able to thwart about 90% of Houthi attacks. “Our goal is to see that this number rise to 100%,” Price said, indicating that the policy of the United States targeted some Houthi leaders through penalties and accountability.

He added that there have been more than 375 cross-border attacks since the beginning of the year and that his country will continue to work with its partners in the Kingdom to stand against Houthi attacks, and will hold them responsible for their abhorrent actions. — SPA
