Biden Pledges US Support Against Yemen Attacks to Saudi King | Farsnews Agency

(FNA)- Joe Biden has reaffirmed the United States’ “commitment to support” Saudi Arabia against attacks by Yemeni forces, the White House said, as the US president spoke by phone with Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.

Wednesday’s call came as the Yemen's Houthis have intensified drone and missile attacks against Saudi Arabia and have begun directly targeting the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Riyadh’s key ally in the region, Al-Jazeera reported.

“The president underscored the US commitment to support Saudi Arabia in the defense of its people and territory from these attacks and full support for UN-led efforts to end the war in Yemen,” the White House announced in a statement describing the talks.
