Saudi Arabia blames Iran for missile launched from Yemen, warns it could be considered 'act of war'

Saudi Arabia has accused Iran up being responsible for the ballistic missile launched from Yemen that targeted Riyadh airport on Saturday, warning that it could be "considered an act of war."
In a statement in the wee hours of Monday, Saudi Arabia laid the blame for the attack directly at Iran's feet, claiming it would not have happened had Iran not been supporting Houthi rebels in Yemen. "Iran's role and its direct command of its Houthi proxy in this matter constitutes a clear act of aggression that targets neighboring countries, and threatens peace and security in the region and globally," the statement, published by the official Saudi Press Agency, reads. "Therefore, the coalition's command considers this a blatant act of military aggression by the Iranian regime, and could rise to be considered as an act of war against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia."

Saudi Arabia also said it "reserves [the] right to respond to Iran in the appropriate time and manner."

The Saudi-led military coalition also announced it was closing off all land border crossings, seaports and airports in Yemen in response to the missile launch.

The coalition has been fighting against Shiite Houthi rebels, who took control of the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, in early 2015. The Saudis are backing ousted Yemeni President Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi.

On Saturday, a ballistic missile was launched from Yemeni territory, allegedly targeting the King Khalid International Airport near the Saudi capital, Riyadh. It was intercepted and landed "on the airport's grounds" causing little to no damage, according to Saudi Arabia's civil aviation authority. No flights were disrupted by the attack.

Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for the attack, saying the Volcano-1 ballistic missile was domestically produced. Saudi Arabia, however, is accusing Iran of supplying the weapon to the Houthis and thus enabling the attack. Iran, while backing the rebels, has denied arming them.

So they dont want a single missile but series of precision guided ballistic missiles. Act of war. Dont make me laugh. This houthi 100 years old missile do tell how much vulnerable these poeple actually are.

 

[OldTwilight]

And USA is claiming that they are able to intercept nuclear ICBMs and they start to believe their lies are true ...

 

[cabatli_53]

A billion $ oil tyrants with a deep love of serving USA policies to dance together, now eating eachother for own wealth that is not able to conduct an efficient operation deep inside of a country like Yemen but capitals, airports are being targetted by obsolete ballistic missiles regularly. This coalition is talking about act of war against Iran? but How?

Probably like this: hey daddy USA , hey uncle Israel , please please please go and attack iran

15 millions $ (5 Patriot missiles) was fired to intercept a single scud missile , how much does it cost? 500k $? and what if it be number of missiles by modern technology?

To be fair, fighting an unconventional war against a guerrilla /rag tag army is different from fighting a convention war with a country's regular army. Arm groups /militias/rebels/terror groups don't fight like a conventional army. It's for this reason that the U. S/U. K/West could invade Iraq(who had one of the most powerful battle tested military in the middle east) and topple saddam in a couple of weeks but they still struggled to eliminate all the terrorists and militias groups that rose up following saddam fall. Same with Afghanistan and the taliban.
They don't fight like a regular army, more like hit and run, launch surprise attacks and withdraw immediately, lay ambushes, use IEDs etc etc. It's more difficult to fight such rag tag militias /rebels etc.

how much of iraq army stood their ground and fought back against U.S / U.K / West ?
how much of Iraq Army was intact at the time ?

Ballistic missiles over the capital city of a major oil exporter of the world is no funny business.

Mecca was fired at some time ago.

Strange world lets see what and how they react. They joined CPEC recently so this would inevitably involve Pakistan.

Saudi Arabia has historically enjoyed a very brotherly relationship with Pakistan. Some even say that the Pakistani state itself sees any attack on Saudi Arabia as an attack directly on Pakistan.

I am sure calm heads will prevail.

 

[El Sidd]

don't hold out on any 'lashing out' expectations. We have all seen the best these jokers could pull in SyRaq. Iran has beaten all camel jockey, Al-tutmish mongol and their shitbilly overlords to a pulp. You understand?

We got more oil and far more gas than these *** clowns can ever dream of. They can only count on help from the Zionists now and accept what's coming to them.

and this is how you normally react or just a special occasion?

For a country boasting massive oil reserves you hardly project yourself modern in many things. Iran is a bustling center of trade and commerce within its own right and an important future with the world slowly shifting to other natural fuel apart from oil.

You have a Japanese flag and you talk like someone from North Korea. Relax have Sushi or treat yourself to a Kobe steak. Have a discussion not a Bazaar bidding

 

[Tokhme khar]

lol.......it was time to bring a reality check to this thread. Too many tripping jokers here need to be reminded of reality every now and then.

[El Sidd]

stay on the topic old man. u drifting again?......reverie much?

anyhow the topic simply is that how a country boasting such a defense budget and actively involved militarily be susceptible to missiles from a 4th world country like Yemen and still stay silent about it.

I do not care what Iranians think about it yes they are bad we get it they are bad.

 

[Muhammed45]

Yeah, because the missile was intercepted.

Go and make another deal with the Americans.

Not my fault if USA has dominated KSA's oil market.

Sometimes, if i want to get rid of traitors and back stabbers who have dreams about having USA's current colonial power, i'd prefer to choose showing flexibility to current colonial power.

Iran's control over Persian gulf, is something that can bring super guys on their knees.

Just saying, China is a friendly country.
