We want to make sure that Iran can never obtain a nuclear weapon. We want to make sure that Iran changes its aggressive behaviors and its support for terrorism," he added.Al-Jubeir considered Houthis's possible designation as a terrorist organization by the US an essential step towards limiting Houthis aggression in Yemen."When you [Houthis] launch missiles at civilians in Yemen and Saudi Arabia, that's terrible. When you use child soldiers, boys who are nine years old, and put them on the front lines with a machine, that's terrorism. We believe that this [designation of Houthis as a terrorist organization] would add to the pressure on them to come to a negotiating table and find a political solution, we can move Yemen from the state of war to the state of rebuilding." he concluded.Read more:Al-Jubeir: G20 countries have taken great steps to combat the coronavirus pandemicIran will ‘automatically’ return to nuclear commitments if Biden lifts sanctionsNetanyahu had ‘warm’ talk with US President-elect Biden: Israel’s PM office
