Saudi Arabia Blames Iran for Attempted Missile Attack on Riyadh

[WaLeEdK2]

Saudi Arabia blamed Iran for an attempted missile attack on Riyadh’s international airport, saying it could be considered an act of war.

The missile was a direct military aggression by Iran, according to a statement early Monday from the Saudi military coalition carried by the state-run Saudi Press Agency. The kingdom has the right to defend its land and people, it said.

Iran provided Yemen’s Houthi militia with ballistic missiles, launchers, explosive-laden drones and sea mines, Turki al-Maliki, spokesman for the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen, said earlier on state-run television.

Saudi Arabia’s state-run media said Saturday the kingdom’s air defenses had intercepted a missile northeast of Riyadh, with no damage to the airport. The Houthi rebels said the same day they had targeted the airport with a ballistic missile.

Saudi Arabia has lead a coalition of countries against the pro-Iranian militias, which overthrew Yemen’s government in 2015. The Saudi coalition said in a statement it had decided to temporarily close all Yemeni land, sea and air crossings except for aid and rescue teams.

President Donald Trump told Saudi King Salman in a phone call on Saturday he would support the purchase of American military equipment to keep Saudi Arabia safe. Trump and Salman discussed the “continuing threat of Iranian-backed Houthi militias in Yemen” and the intercepted missile attack, according to a readout provided by the White House.

In comments on Monday to business leaders in Japan, Trump praised the Saudi missile defenses, saying they “took the missile right out of the air. Blew it up.”

Don't think Iran has anything to do with it they could have fired 10 missiles at Riyadh from Iran as it is much closer and those would have 100% hit riyadh as the Iranian have stealth missiles

If we were behind it there would have not been Riyadh’s international airport right now. stop this nonsense.
Yemen has had missile program since 1978 and has bought a various types of scud missiles from the Soviet Union , China , Russia and North Korea ... back in 1994 and during civil war btw north and south Yemenis fired scud missile from Sanna to Aden ... in 2000 the US captured a ship carrying N Korean missile which was delivered later on to Yemen. Even back in 2015 at the beginning of the war in Yemen Saudi coalition claimed they attacked Yemen missile arsenals and destroy it ... so when Yemen has missile why on earth Iran should send them missiles?

The missile that was fired at least has 12~15 M length with more than 5 tones weight , as the news says Iran has managed to smuggle such a missile and its launchers into the Yemen while mighty Saudi coalition in cooperation with American and rest of gang has imposed blockade on this country and Yemen is surrendered ...

stealth missiles

Which one?

 

[Arabi]

Iranian newspaper on its first headline "Houthis missile attack on Riyadh, Dubai will be next"

then some ignorants say Iran has nothing to do with this attack, even your offical newspapers with openly say that the next target of Houthi missiles will be Dubai.
UAE should start immediately deporting all Iranians.

Here's another one from shelves so no other ignorant comes here and says it's photoshopped

They have the missile its trajectory traced heat seeking technique
simply investigation will reveal the trace.

this could be a developing news afterall

It's a sectarian war. Shia v Sunni. Maybe am wrong?

Sorry all.

You live in a country which will implode in civil war if the war is religious in nature.

You embarrass your own country and the forum when you paint an extremist picture of Turkey.

I am sorry for you au contraire

I don't think that Ale-Saud wants this happen.

Forcing Iran to have presence in Yemen, with these lies,

Ale-Saud is at open war with every Muslim country around her.

Hariri says hello to other Saudi puppets in Islamic countries. He is Mansoor haadi's roommate in a hotel in Riyadh

who do you think fired the missiles at Saudi Arabia?

 

[cloud4000]

Blame Iranians, blame Houthis, blame whomever, but this is humiliating for Saudi Arabia that a missile exploded near Riyadh airport.

This is not a sectarian war. I am wrong. You are right.

I am an extremist.

Yes sir
Iran did it. Then why don't they move their a** ?

Nah this is just a good ol' money making deals being fought by extremists.

This ain't got much to do with Yemen either. Saudi Arabia basically ran Yemen till the Arab Spring drama. No one blinked.

Just a rogue militia creating discord in the region.

But who the hell fires rockets at the capital of a major country and endanger civilian life.

Lol

By the way where are the official response from other sources.

Like this made as much news as a burping Kuala lol

Though corruption related issues did make news in Pakistan from Saudi Arabia. Quite welcomed as well.

 

[Attila the Hun]

Nah this is just a good ol' money making deals being fought by extremists.

Saudis are the good guys though, right?

Just a rogue militia creating discord in the region.

Why are they attacking Saudis though? Who do you think pulling their strings?
