11:55 am
forward by security forces well i have a. there is a clear contradiction from saudi on immunity media because they always downplay the significance of these drone strikes but in return they rushed to urge the international community to stand by them in condemning the attacks in a bid to stop us from carrying more strikes. this shows the moment a cruise missile hit airport on wednesday who thieves have labeled it a strategic enemy target one of 300 they plan to bomb several saudi airports have been targeted in the past year including the king her lead international airport in the capital riyadh it's part of a grand plan by the rebel group it's a skill a ship is tensions have risen between iran the u.s. and its gulf allies. every day we have a goal and we will not rush to bomb all the targets to bomb the targets that we think we must bomb and a specific time we will threaten them as they threaten us and we will close their
