Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) (AFP) – US Secretary of State John Kerry warned on Thursday that arms shipments from Iran to rebels in Yemen pose a threat to the United States that “cannot continue.”

“The threat potentially posed by the shipment of missiles and other sophisticated weapons into Yemen from Iran extends well beyond Yemen and is not a threat just to Saudi Arabia and… the region,” Kerry told reporters in Jeddah.

“It is a threat to the United States and it cannot continue.”
