Saudi ambassador to US: Deal fueled Iran's malicious regional expansion

Saudi Arabia is not only one of Iran's major foes in the Middle East, but they are also leading the US-backed Arab alliance to reinstate the internationally-recognised Yemeni government, led by President Abd Rabbu Mansour al-Hadi, who lives in exile in Riyadh. He added that the facility now has 470 detainees.

He concluded his interview with Xinhua by saying that "there are previous evidences showing that the USA diplomacy encouraged the Houthi group to expand for the goal of creating a case of balance in Yemen's political issue".

Hidyani said that "Iran and Russian Federation made great gains in Syria and the US administration is trying to create compensation by escalating indirectly against Iran that is largely involved in Syria".

Riyadh, which leads a regional coalition that intervened in Yemen s civil war to fight the Huthis, accuses Iran of supplying the militia with ballistic missiles.

Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels have fired ballistic missiles into the Kingdom in the past, which have been intercepted by Riyadh.

Saudi Arabia said on Thursday it tested a new siren system for the capital Riyadh and oil-rich Eastern Province, the day after Yemeni rebels fired three ballistic missiles at the kingdom.

Saudi Arabia has expelled 17000 Yemeni migrants so far this year, amidst fears that it could deport up to 700000 to war and misery in their homeland, deepening the crisis, the United Nations migration agency says.

Saudi Arabia's Ambassador to the United States quickly reacted to Washington's decision to withdraw from the nuclear accord with Iran saying the deal fueled Iran's expansionist ideological drives across the Middle East.

It's estimated 7,000 African migrants are arriving in Yemen each month; leaving home on foot and walking through Djibouti before catching a boat across the Gulf of Aden where they head north to the border with Saudi Arabia.

Houthis have been controlling much of Yemen's north by force, including the capital Sanaa since 2014.

The conflict has left almost 10,000 people dead, tens of thousands wounded, and millions on the brink of starvation in what the United Nations has called the world's worst humanitarian crisis.
