Washington, Jumada II 26, 1436, Apr 15, 2015, SPA -- Saudi Ambassador to the United States Adel bin Ahmed Al-Jubeir said that Operation "Determination Storm" is successful and has achieved the objectives set for it, stressing that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has no ambitions in Yemen. In a press conference held Wednesday at the embassy in Washington, Ambassador Al-Jubeir confirmed that the Security Council's resolution adopted on Tuesday on Yemen is a victory for Yemen and a confirmation to the Houthi militia and the ousted president that the world is against them and that the world supports the actions taken by the international community for supporting the legitimate government in Yemen. Al-Jubeir stressed that Iran has no right to play any role in Yemen calling on the Iraqi prime minister to focus on Iraq's internal problems. The Ambassador said, "Operation Determination Storm to support legitimacy in Yemen is very successful and exceeded its set goals," noting that the air campaign destroyed the military infrastructure of the Houthis and the ousted president, including the heavy and medium weapons, aircraft and missiles through which they have sought to control Yemen, and pointing to the successes which have been achieved by the popular committees in Aden on the ground due to the support they are receiving from the coalition of Determination Storm. The Ambassador spoke about the emergence of defection movements in the ranks of the ousted president's supporters and their return to supporting the legitimacy in Yemen, expressing hope that these defections will be the beginning of the fall of the Houthis militia's cooperation with him. --More 23:23 LOCAL TIME 20:23 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
