Saudi Foreign Minister Accuses Iran of 'Flagrant Attacks,' Condemns Houthis at UN

Saudi Arabia's foreign minister accused Iran of carrying out what he called "flagrant attacks" across the region and called for action against the Houthi movement in Yemen, according to a report from Al Jazeera covering remarks at the UN General Assembly.

The Saudi delegation's comments were delivered during the General Assembly's general debate session, part of a broader wave of statements from Gulf and Middle Eastern countries addressing regional security concerns.

The report did not detail the specific incidents the Saudi foreign minister was referencing when describing attacks attributed to Iran, nor did it specify what form of action against the Houthis was being called for.

Saudi Arabia and the Houthi movement, which controls large parts of Yemen, have been involved in a long-running conflict, with Riyadh repeatedly accusing Tehran of backing the group.

Iran has previously denied direct responsibility for Houthi actions, though it has acknowledged political and ideological support for the movement.
