In a speech to the Shura Council, a top consultative body, the monarch emphasized the oil-rich kingdom would continue its efforts to find solutions for local crises.
He stated, "Our stand with Yemen was not an option but a duty to support the Yemeni people against the Iran-backed putschist militias".
