In another context, Al-Yaum newspaper said in its editorial that the statement of the Official Spokesman of the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen Brigadier General Turki Al-Malki that the Joint Coalition Forces have intercepted and destroyed several attacks launched by the Iranian-backed terrorist Houthi militia to target civilians and civilian objects in the Southern Region confirms that Saudi Arabia has the strength, vigilance and permanent ability to repel any aggression and terrorist activity. The newspaper added that the speech of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques stated that Saudi Arabia affirms the seriousness of the Iranian regime's regional project, rejects its interference in the affairs of internal countries, its support for terrorism and extremism and calls on the international community to take a stand firm towards Iran to prevent it from obtaining weapons of mass destruction, developing the ballistic missile program and threatening peace and security. These data, which came in the speech of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques at the opening of the works of the 1st year of the 8th session of the Shura Council, confirmed Saudi Arabia's policy towards these Iranian behaviors that continue to support terrorist militias to carry out more crimes and attacks, the newspaper concluded.
