The Saudi-coalition attacks came shortly after Mahdi al-Mashat, the head of the Supreme Political Council of the Ansarallah movement, accused the US of obstructing peace efforts in Yemen by exerting pressure on the countries of the Saudi-led coalition.

During a speech on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr, Mashat stated that “the United States seeks to obstruct peace efforts and does not want to solve humanitarian issues. It is not in the interest of Riyadh and the region to bow to American pressure.”
