London, 10 Nov – The ballistic missile attack on Riyadh International Airport by the Iran-backed Houthi rebels last weekend is undoubtedly an act of war by the Iranian Regime.

There is no secret that the Iranian Regime, its Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and its militant Quds Force have a policy of arming, funding and training proxy terrorist groups across the Middle East, including the Houthis and Al-Qaeda.

It is also no secret that the Iranian Regime has spent years trying to undermine Saudi Arabia and increase anti-Saudi feelings through social media and Arabic language outlets, or that Iran is supplying terrorist groups with the means to target Saudi Arabia with weapons smuggling, and sponsorship of terrorism.

London, 10 Nov – The Saudi-led military coalition has tightened its blockade in Yemen after Iran-backed Houthi rebels fired a ballistic missile at the Saudi capital last weekend.

As a result of the blockade, which was announced on Monday, many fuel stations hiked their petrol prices by as much as 50% causing the Houthis to close all stations in the capital, and aid groups warned that the humanitarian crisis will be exacerbated.

George Khoury, the head of the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in Yemen, said that aid agencies were not given prior notice of the blockade and instead saw it in the press.

London, 9 Nov – Iran’s largest “private” airline company is actually being run by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its militant Qods Force, according to a new report by the Iranian Resistance.

The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) stated that Mahan Air, dubbed Iran’s largest commercial airliner, is far from private or commercial. In fact, the airline company is a tool for the Iranian Regime’s interference across the Middle East, including supplying arms to proxy terrorist groups like Hezbollah, and transporting troops into Syria to fight on behalf of the Bashar Assad dictatorship.

London, 9 Nov – Saudi Arabia has blamed Iran for an attempted ballistic missiles attack on Riyadh International Airport over the weekend, saying that such a move could be considered an “act of war”.

The news of the attempted attack came on Sunday, after the Saudis had intercepted a missile in their airspace using their US-made defence system. They said that the missile was launched by Iran-backed Houthis in rebels neighbouring Yemen.

On Monday, the Saudis said that Iran had directly supplied the Houthis with the missile and called it “a blatant act of military aggression”.

At the same time as the attempted attack on Saudi Arabia, Saudi ally and Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri gave a shock resignation speech live from Riyadh, revealing that he feared the Iranian Regime and their Lebanese puppets Hezbollah would assassinate him if he remained in office, as they did his father, Rafik, in 2005.

London, 9 Nov – The US has accused Iran of violating international law by supplying the Houthi terrorist group with ballistic missiles that were fired at Saudi Arabia over the weekend and vowed not to “turn a blind eye to these serious violations”.

Nikki Haley, the US ambassador to the UN, said on Tuesday: “By providing these types of weapons to the Houthi militias in Yemen, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps is violating two UN resolutions simultaneously. We encourage the UN and international partners to take the necessary action to hold the Iranian regime accountable.”

The Houthis in Yemen, who actually launched the missile, said that their ballistic missiles had a range of 1,500km and threatened to attack more cities in Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
