沙特阿拉伯表示，伊朗支持的也门胡塞反叛武装向利雅得发射一枚导弹，其宿敌伊朗可能因此实施了“战争行为”。
沙特星期六拦截了这枚射向哈利德国际机场的导弹。
沙特领导的与胡塞武装作战的联军表示，有权利“对伊朗公然进行的军事攻击做出回应”。
沙特外交大臣朱拜尔在推特上说，“伊朗插手该地区对邻国安全构成危害，并影响国际和平与安全。”
伊朗否认为胡塞武装提供武器，伊朗外长扎里夫抨击沙特在也门造成死亡和破坏。
扎里夫发推说，“沙特阿拉伯王国把也门炸成碎片，杀死了成千上万包括婴儿在内的无辜民众，造成霍乱和饥饿蔓延，但是，当然，这些都推到伊朗头上。”
联军星期一表示，作为对导弹攻击的反应，暂时关闭了也门的陆地、领海和机场。
Saudi Arabia says its archrival Iran may have committed an “act of war” when Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen fired a missile at Riyadh.
The Saudis intercepted the missile fired at King Khalid International Airport Saturday.
The Saudi-led coalition battling the Houthis says it has the “right to respond to blatant military aggression” by Iran.
“Iranian interventions in the region are detrimental to the security of neighboring countries and affect international peace and security,” Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said on Twitter.
Iran denies arming the Houthis and its foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif blasted the Saudis for causing death and destruction in Yemen.
“KSA (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) bombs Yemen to smithereens, killing thousands of innocents, including babies, spreads cholera and famine, but, of course, blames Iran,” he tweeted.
The coalition said Monday it is temporarily shutting down Yemeni land, sea, and airports in response to the missile attack.
