Standing in a US military air hangar amid a tableau of alleged Iranian missile parts, US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley called out Tehran in strong terms today for “destabilizing behavior” throughout the Middle East but provided little clarity on how Washington would respond.
The announcement drew together missile fuselages allegedly fired on Saudi Arabia in July and November by the Iran-backed Houthi rebel group in Yemen, combined with diagrams and markings that US officials said confirmed their Iranian origin. Haley said the decision to declassify the evidence came as part of the Donald Trump administration’s effort to call out Iran’s support for proxies across the region.
