Yemen’s Houthis are an indivisible part of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and are subject to the IRGC’s orders, Saudi Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Adel al-Jubeir, said on Thursday.

He added that this is confirmed by the Houthi targeting of facilities in the Kingdom.

In a series of tweets on his official account, al-Jubeir said that the Houthi militia prove that they implement Iran’s agenda “by sacrificing the need of the Yemeni people for the benefit of Iran”.

On Tuesday, the Houthi militias claimed responsibility for twin drone strikes on Saudi Arabia’s main East-West oil pipeline.

Iran has repeatedly threatened to close the vital conduit for global oil supplies in case of a military confrontation with the United States.
