Yemen’s Ansarullah movement has condemned the new US arms deal with Saudi Arabia as a show of Washington’s continued support for Riyadh’s war-mongering.

A senior member of Yemen's Supreme Political Council, Mohammed al-Houthi, has slammed the recent US arms sale to Saudi Arabia, saying it confirms the contradiction in Biden's administration when it comes to Yemen.

In a tweet, al-Houthi said the arms sales once again proved that the administration of US President Joe Biden had no real intention to stop the support for the Saudi-led war on Yemen.

Observers say Biden's promises to stop the war on Yemen have been nothing but lies to gain more votes in the elections. They say the new US missiles sold to Riyadh will be used to bomb Yemenis in fighter jets such as F-15, and not as defensive weapons, contrary to what Washington claims.

Saudi Arabia, with Washington’s support, launched a deadly war on Yemen in March 2015. Over the years, the kingdom has used internationally-prohibited weapons, including the US cluster bombs, to target residential areas, according to the Cluster Munition Monitor.
