Tensions in the Middle East escalated after a recent attack on Saudi refineries that crippled the country’s crude output. The US has accused Iran of the act, despite Yemen’s Houthis claiming responsibility, and is reportedly mulling a military response to the attack on its ally. Tehran has warned that such a move could lead to war.
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has warned Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) that dire consequences await them in the event that a confrontation with Iran takes place.
“Don’t bet on a war against Iran because they will destroy you. Your house is made of glass and your economy is made of glass. Like the glass cities in the UAE. […] You have already begun to pay the price of the war against Yemen”, Nasrallah said.
The movement’s leader also called on Saudi Arabia and its allies to end their military campaign in Yemen against the Houthi militants, arguing that it would be better for them to do so than buy more air defenses to fend off Houthi aerial attacks.
Tehran has vehemently denied the accusations. Foreign Minister Javad Zarif has demanded that Riyadh provide Iran with access to study the so-called proof substantiating the accusations against the Islamic Republic.
