The US ambassador to the UN has called for an international coalition to counter Iran’s influence in the Middle East, while accusing the country of “fanning the flames of conflict” in the region.
Nikki Haley, standing in front of what she said were the remnants of Iranian-made weapons, said the US
has found evidence that Iranian ballistic missiles were transferred to, and used by, the Houthi rebel group in Yemen, a violation of Tehran’s international obligations.
“In this warehouse is concrete evidence of illegal Iranian weapons proliferation gathered from direct military attacks on our partners in the region,” Haley said during a news conference in a military hangar near Washington, DC on Thursday. The US is going to “build a coalition to really push back against Iran and what they’re doing”, Haley said, without going into specifics.
She said the recovered pieces of the weapon came from a missile “fired by Houthi militants from Yemen into Saudi Arabia”, a staunch US ally in the region. Haley said markings on the missile proved it was made in Iran.
