Former White House envoy to the Middle East, Jason Greenblatt, blamed the Iran-backed Houthis for mounting repeated attacks on Saudi targets over the past weeks, citing an Al Arabiya propaganda video.
"870 drones & missiles launched by the Iran-funded Houthi terrorists at cities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom must do all it can to protect its people. The USA should stand by its friend, partner & ally the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia," he wrote on his social media page.
