General Kenneth Mckenzie, Commander of US CENTCOM, has stated that the US is committed to assisting Saudi Arabia in defending itself as Iran continues to provide arms, pieces, and expertise to Houthi forces in Yemen in order to assault the Kingdom.
According to Mckenzie, Iran-backed Houthi militias have fired over 150 ballistic missiles and drones at military, facilities, and civilian targets in Saudi Arabia since January 2021.
Before the Senate Armed Services Committee, he clarified that US assistance to Saudi Arabia focuses on providing information to Saudi armed forces to help them thwart Houthi UAV, ballistic missile, and explosive boat attacks, which are illegal under international law and undermine diplomatic efforts.
