Washington 18 Jumada II 1436 H corresponding to April 7, 2015, SPA -- Saudi Ambassador to the United States of America Adel bin Ahmed Al-Jubeir said that there is no difference in views between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United States of America about the fact of support being provided by Iran for the Houthis in Yemen. In a meeting with a group of representatives of the United States and Arab media including Saudi Press Agency (SPA), he added, "Iran provides financial support for the Houthis and helps them in building weapon factories and providing them with weapons, in addition that there are Iranians working alongside the Houthis''. The Ambassador pointed to the reports that the United States of America has already intercepted Iranian cargo ship loaded with weapons and missiles destined for the Houthis, saying, "When I talk with US officials, they know that this is what the Iranians do with the Houthis. There is no difference between us and the United States of America when the matter relates to Iran's support for the Houthi. " He said, "We do not want that the error of Hezbollah in Lebanon to be repeated with the Houthi in Yemen." Ambassador Al-Jubeir added, "The Determination Storm Operation is still ongoing and we are in the process of destruction of weapons that may pose a threat to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, whether they are air weapons or ballistic missiles or heavy weapons, and we have destroyed Al-Houthi's centers of command; so the Determination Storm is very effective." --More 13:50 LOCAL TIME 10:50 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
