The Australian Imams Council condemned the launching of ballistic missiles carried out by Iran-backed Houthi militias on several cities of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, including Riyadh. President of Australian Imams Council Sheikh Shady Suleiman said in a statement: "The more-than-200-member Council, Australia's largest Islamic legal body, condemns this aggressive and criminal act, and affirms its stand by the Kingdom in defending its security and stability and confronting the repeated attacks carried out by Iran-backed Houthi militias".
