Saudi Arabia accused the Islamic Republic regime of Iran of ordering the recent attack by Houthis against its soil and a key pipeline.

Adel Aljubeir, Saudi Arabia’s minister of State for Foreign Affairs wrote on his Twitter page on Thursday: “The Houthis confirm day after day that they implement Iran’s agenda by sacrificing the need of the Yemeni people for the benefit of Iran.

He continued: “The Houthis are an indivisible part of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and subject to the IRGC’s orders. This is confirmed by the Houthis targeting facilities in the Kingdom.”

On Tuesday, Iran-backed Houthis of Yemen used drones to attack one of Saudi Arabia’s key oil pipelines, as other assaults targeted energy infrastructure elsewhere in the kingdom. A fire broke out as a result which did minimal damage to one of the facilities, but firefighters later brought it under control.

Mohammad Ali Al-Houthi, one of the leaders of the Yemeni Shia rebel group backed by Iran, claimed that the attack against Saudi oil pipelines was executed by drones designed and built inside Yemen.

He emphasized that “Iran had no role in these attacks” and added that the Shia Houthi forces are not “agents” of Iran and their war against the central government and Saudi Arabia should not be considered a “proxy” was by Iran.

It was recently revealed that Iran gives Houthis $30 million a month in oil, and the U.S government demonstrated all the weaponry that Iran has delivered to Houthis, including ballistic missiles and drones.

Prior to Houthis’ drone attack, four commercial vessels including two Saudi oil tankers were sabotaged near Fujairah port in UAE.

The leader of Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had previously stated: “We are sad for the innocent people of Yemen, we pray for them, and we will help them in any way we can.”
