By forming a coalition of several Arab countries and with the United States and the Zionist Regime's support, Saudi Arabia has been attacking Yemen and laid a land, sea, and air siege to this country since March 2015.

This military aggression has not achieved anything for Riyadh so far. It has only led to Yemen's destruction, the killing of thousands of civilians, and the displacement of millions.
