British Foreign Secretary Bordis Johnson has said that his country and Saudi Arabia share a \u201chistoric and common perspective\u201d on the challenges of \u201cIranian disruptiveness\u201d in the Middle East.<\/span><\/p>\n

While answering questions during an interview with Al-Arabia News Channel on Wednesday, Boris Johnson dealt with the recent reports of frayed relations between the two countries and Saudi Arabia led coalition\u2019s aerial campaign in Yemen causing humanitarian crisis in that country. He alleged Iran for supplying weapons to Houthis in Yemen.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said \u201cWe need to be clear and firm with Iran. It is unacceptable for them to be conniving in the Houthis\u2019 use of missiles against Saudi Arabia \u2026 It\u2019s a catastrophic policy they are following.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile <\/span>Jonathan Allen, the UK Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, said on Twitter there was clear evidence that Iranian missiles and other weapons were used by Houthis in Yemen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Saudi Arabia<\/a>, US, and most of its allies allege Iran for supplying missiles and other weapons to Houthis who were defending their homeland from the Saudi led aerial campaign. These countries still recognise Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi as legitimate president of the country. But Hadi has been living in Saudi Arabia in exile for last many years.<\/p>\n

An Iranian expert Afshin Moulavi, associated with Johns Hopkins University, told Iranian official news agency IRNA last month that military aggression of the Saudi Arabia and the UAE is the major cause of Yemen\u2019s current crisis.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
