Washington Times: In D.C., Iraq, Saudi tensions on Yemen spill out into open
In a sign of the difficult diplomacy and conflicting alliances the Obama administration is trying to manage in the Middle East, the Saudi ambassador and the Iraqi prime minister traded barbs in Washington on Wednesday over Riyadh’s campaign against Iran-backed rebels in Yemen.
A day after meeting with President Obama, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi slammed the U.S.-supported campaign led by Saudi Arabia and Egypt in Yemen, saying it has “no logic” and warning it could explode into a regional sectarian war between Iran-backed Shiites and Sunni factions aligned with the Saudis.
