US Defense Secretary Mark Esper said on Friday that Houthi militias were "committing terrible crimes in Yemen," adding that "Tehran is controlling and manipulating the Houthis."
"Saudi Arabia has the right to defend itself against near-daily attacks by Houthi militias," Esber said.
He added that Iran is "the source of a lot of crude behavior in the region, in Yemen, Syria or Lebanon," accusing it of seeking to acquire long-range nuclear missiles.
"What we want is to bring Iran to the diplomatic paths. We need to discuss how they can become normal and stop spreading unrest and terrorism throughout the region. If this stops, many of these problems will go away," he said.
