The Biden administration's approval of billions in weapons sales to Saudi Arabia and the UAE demonstrates a strategic alliance in countering Iran amid escalating Middle Eastern conflicts.
This approval includes offensive weapons aimed at the Houthis in Yemen, amid pressure on Riyadh to de-escalate its ongoing conflict while balancing U.S. interests in the region.
The arms packages underscore the U.S. commitment to its allies in the Middle East while addressing the rising influence of Iran and its proxies.
Lawmakers are notified of the potential sales totaling over $2 billion to these key Middle East partners, with a focus on countering terrorist funding.
