Ansarullah rejects US claims as distraction from recognition

Yemen's Houthi Ansarullah movement says the recent US missile accusations serve as a distraction from US President Donald Trump's recognition of the occupied al-Quds ('Jerusalem') as Israel's capital.

 

Renouncing US claims that Iran is supplying it with ballistic missiles, Yemen's Ansarullah movement says the accusations serve as a distraction from US President Donald Trump's recognition of the occupied al-Quds ('Jerusalem') as Israel's capital.

 

US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley claimed Thursday that a missile the Yemeni army had fired at Saudi Arabia last month was supplied by Tehran.

 

Abdel-Malek al-Ejri, a senior Houthi official, said Thursday that Yemen had been firing missiles at Saudi Arabia during the course of the kingdom's military aggression against Yemen since it began in 2015.

 

"After three years of war, America suddenly finds evidence that Iran supports the Houthis," he wrote in a message on his Twitter account.

 

"America did not find any evidence in all the missiles fired from Yemen until now. The story is clear. They want to give Arabs a story to divert their attention from Jerusalem al-Quds. Instead of being angry at Israel, they wave the Iranian bogey," the official added, referring to Washington's push to move its diplomatic mission in Israel from Tel Aviv to the occupied city of Jerusalem al-Quds.

 

The Yemeni army, backed by Ansarullah fighters, claimed on November 5 that a Burkan-2 (Volcano-2) medium-range ballistic missile had landed on King Khalid International Airport, located 35 kilometers north of the Saudi capital Riyadh.
