NEW YORK: Iran should be made accountable for supplying Houthi militia ballistic missiles to target Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia’s permanent representative at the UN Abdallah Al-Moallimi handed the official Saudi letter to the Secretary General of the UN and the presiding head of the Security Council for this month.
In the letter, Saudi Arabia demanded that UN Security Council acts responsibly to uphold international peace and stability, and apprehend Iran for supplying ballistic missiles to Yemen’s Houthi militia.
The Saudi complain letter coincide with a meeting to be held Tuesday between UN Secretary GeneralAntonio Guteres and Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman.
The Saudi led coalition in Yemen displayed new evidence pertaining to Iran’s effort to smuggle missiles to the Houthi militia in Yemen.
Earlier, Saudi Arabia’s government said it sees in the continued attacks by Houthi militia a “clear Iranian involvement in supplying Houthi with advanced ballistic missiles in clear defiance of United Nations’ Security Council resolutions 2216 and 2231.” This comes after Saudi Arabia air defense forces intercepted Sunday 7 ballistic missiles targeting Riyadh and other Saudi cities.

Yaghi is the first Saudi scientist awarded a Nobel Prize. He received it in December, alongside two other scientists, for their pioneering work in the field of molecular chemistry, and for contributions to energy, the environment and advanced materials.
He is also supervisor of the Center of Excellence for Nanomaterials for Clean Energy Applications, a collaboration between KACST and the University of California, Berkeley.
Munir Eldesouki, the president of KACST, said that the Kingdom is keen to recognize its scientific talents, in keeping with Saudi Vision 2030 and its goals relating to the fostering of scientific research.
