The United States of America strongly condemned Houthi missile attack on Riyadh yesterday. State Department Spokesperson Heather Nauert said in a press statement, "We support the right of our Saudi partners to defend their borders against these threats, which are fueled by the Iranian regime's dangerous proliferation of weapons and destabilizing activities in the region". She added, "The Houthis' continued attacks on Saudi population centers calls into question their commitment to helping shape a peaceful, prosperous, and secure future for Yemen. We continue to call on all parties to return to United Nations facilitated political negotiations and move toward ending the war in Yemen."
