Iran violating UN resolution by providing missiles to Yemeni rebels: US
Niki Haley hits out at Iran
US Ambassador Nikki Haley released information showing that the missile was an Iranian Qiam missile which is a short-range ballistic missile produced in Iran.
The United States today backed its ally Saudi Arabia over its strife with Iran accusing President Rouhani-led government of supplying missiles to Yemini rebels.
"By providing these types of weapons to the Huthi militias in Yemen, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is violating two UN resolutions simultaneously," US Ambassador Nikki Haley said in a statement.
The US ambassador released information showing that the missile was an Iranian Qiam missile which is a short-range ballistic missile produced in Iran.
Haley said the missile was not present in Yemen before the conflict.
"We encourage the United Nations and international partners to take necessary action to hold the Iranian regime accountable for these violations," Haley added.
"The United States will not turn a blind eye to these serious violations of international law by the Iranian regime," Hailey asserted.

Strait of Hormuz deal with Oman being ‘finalised’: Iran’s foreign ministry
Earlier in the day, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had accused Iran of "military aggression" against Saudi Arabia as relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia took a turn for the worse.
"The involvement of Iran in supplying missiles to the Huthis is a direct military aggression by the Iranian regime," the Saudi Press Agency quoted the crown prince as saying.
Saudi Arabia had said on Sunday that it had intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile fired from Yemen over the capital Riyadh last Saturday. The missile was brought down near King Khaled Airport on the northern outskirts of the city.
Saudi Arabia accused Iran of supplying the missile to Huthi in Yemen who are involved in a civil war. The Saudi-led coalition has launched thousands of air strikes against the Iran-allied Houthi movement that controls much of neighbouring Yemen.
The US administration led by President Trump has been pushing for tougher sanctions against Iran although the country is a signatory to the nuclear deal.
Last month President Trump had said he wouldn't certify the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran as relations between the two countries hit a new low.
Trump also announced tough new sanctions on the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, while stopping short of declaring the army group a terrorist organization.
