He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- “Yesterday, Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched a drone attack on the Abha airport in Saudi Arabia for the second time in less than two weeks.
- The Houthis should engage constructively in the UN-led political process to end the conflict and adhere to the commitments they made in Sweden.
- With every attack conducted by an Iranian proxy, the regime tacks another day onto its forty-year track record of spreading death and chaos in the region, and beyond.
