Clear violation of UN resolutions
Maliki said: “This hostile action by the Houthi group backed by Iran proves the continued involvement of the Iranian regime’s support to the Houthi armed group with qualitative capabilities in clear and explicit defiance of the violation of UN resolution (2216) and resolution (2231) in order to threaten the security of Saudi Arabia and threaten regional and international security. The firing of ballistic missiles at populated cities and villages is contrary to international humanitarian law. “
Colonel al-Maliki also renewed his call for the international community to take more serious and effective steps to stop the blatant Iranian violations through the continued smuggling and transfer of ballistic missiles and weapons to terrorist groups and outlaws and to hold them accountable for their support and blatant defiance of international norms and values and the threat to regional and international security.
