The White House released a statement on Friday saying it remains “committed to supporting Saudi Arabia and all our [Persian] Gulf partners against the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ aggression and blatant violations of international law.”

Iran, however, has repeatedly denied arming Houthi fighters in Yemen.
