U.S. backs Saudi claims of "blatant" violations by Iran
CBS News, Nov 8, 2017, Associated Press

CAIRO -- The United States on Wednesday joined Saudi Arabia in accusing Iran of supplying Yemen's Houthi rebels with advanced weapons including a ballistic missile that struck the Saudi capital last week.

The White House statement says the U.S. condemns the Iranian government's activities and stands with Saudi Arabia and other Persian Gulf partners against Iran's aggression and "blatant" violations of international law.

It says missile systems were not present in Yemen before the civil war there, alleging that Iran provided them. The statement also urges the United Nations to review evidence that Iran is perpetuating the war in Yemen to further its regional ambitions.
