US Accuses Iran of Deceiving Houthi Fighters and Demands a Halt to Attacks

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has issued a strong statement, stating that the Iranian government has been deceiving the Houthi fighters in Yemen.

In his official statement, the US diplomat noted that the tactics and influence used by the Tehran regime have led the group to make decisions that are counterproductive for the future of the region, while expressing his government's hope that the fighters will take wise action and completely abandon their ongoing attacks.

The diplomatic statement comes in the wake of a long-running conflict and military attacks by the Houthi group against shipping and strategic targets in the Red Sea region and surrounding areas. 

The US government views Iran as a major player behind the scenes who has been providing ideological support, logistics, and political influence that has misled the fighters and plunged them into a conflict that is counterproductive to the people of Yemen and international security.
