Yemen's Vice President Ali Mohsen Saleh said the Decisive Storm was a historical Arab decision that won over the Houthi Iranian sectarian agenda. He made the remarks in a statement to Saba referring to the military operation launched by Saudi-led Arab Coalition against the rebel militia in March 2015. The Vice President said: "The historical decision of the Coalition and the response of King Salman bin Abdulaziz and his Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to President Abd-Rabbu M. Hadi's call (for intervention) was an intrinsic Arab decision that unified our causes and destiny under the umbrella of the GCC.
