Pompeo appreciates Saudi respect for civilians in Yemen war, lets aid continue

Tehran (KNA) - US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says Washington will continue its military aid to Saudi Arabia and its allies to keep up with the bombardment of its impoverished neighbor, Yemen, arguing their efforts to “reduce the risk of harm to civilians.”

The former CIA chief released a statement Wednesday to announce he had assured American lawmakers that the aggressors are on path to end the war.

"I certified to Congress yesterday that the governments of Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates are undertaking demonstrable actions to reduce the risk of harm to civilians and civilian infrastructure resulting from military operations of these governments," Pompeo said.
