Press TV has conducted an interview with Ali al-Ahmed, the director of the Institute for [Persian] Gulf Affairs in Washington, to discuss Saudi Arabia’s military aggression against Yemen.

Al-Ahmed believes that Saudi Arabia seeks to confront the Ansarullah movement’s widespread popularity in Yemen and to block the country’s path toward independence, adding that Riyadh should be held accountable before international courts for its illegal military intervention in Yemen.
