Iran Press/Middle East: Brigadier-General Yahya Sare'e, promised that the forces of the US-Saudi aggression will have repercussions to their “foolish escalation”.
Sare'e stated that US-Saudi aggression launched 25 raids in the last 12 hours, including 23 raids in one hour on Marib governorate, to support their mercenaries' military creeps, Almasirah reported.
The Spokesman for the Armed Forces reported earlier today, that the Army and Popular Committees encountered two creeps by the US-Saudi mercenaries in Al-Jawf and Marib, stressing that dozens of mercenaries were killed and injured with no progress.
