Iran was the root of evil in the Middle East Lindsey Graham said

On Wednesday Iran’s backed the Houthi militia in the wake of the group’s military losses in Shabwa and Marib.

In a statement to Al-Arabiya, Republican Senator Marco Rubio, a member of the US Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, labeled the Houthi militia as Iranian agents that destabilize the region, adding that it targets Saudi Arabia and its civilians.

“As long as the Houthis remain a proxy force for the Iranians, we will face a problem,” he said.
