Saudi Arabia Continues To Accuse Iran Of 'Military Aggression'



CNN: Iran's actions may be 'act of war,' Saudi crown prince says

(CNN)Supplying rebels in Yemen with missiles was a "direct military aggression by the Iranian regime," Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz said Tuesday.

In his first direct statements regarding a thwarted missile strike on the Riyadh airport over the weekend, bin Salman laid the blame for the attempt at the feet of Iran's government, saying it was "supplying its Houthi militias (in Yemen) with missiles."

In comments reported by the state-run Saudi Press Agency, the crown prince told British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson that Iran's actions "may be considered an act of war against the kingdom."

Saudi Arabia has waged a years-long military campaign in Yemen in support of the internationally recognized government that the Houthi rebels drove out of the capital, Sanaa.

After a forest fire you get regrowth.

Not looking forward to a war, but one should not give up 'small' things like Czechoslovakia either.

I'd hope you want the regime to be slapped around, not the Iranian people, which are actually fun to be around with. Never confuse the two actions..

That standard also applied to Germany in ww2.

Anon,

What Fazman said.

You can't make the actions retro-active to WW2, but it seems not even the sentiment is.

Very hard to separate the people from the regime, especially when libtards are against assassination and the like for regime change. That leaves blunt force trauma.

It seems as though the sentiment, though processes and MO of every libtard is to make every problem intractable by over-constraining everything.
