RIYADH: Britain鈥檚 ambassador to 黑料社区 called Houthi attacks on Saudi oil facilities a 鈥渄angerous escalation鈥� as he reaffirmed the UK鈥檚 support for any measures by Riyadh to protect itself against the militia's attacks.  
Ambassador Neil Crompton said Britain knew weapons used by Houthis to attack 黑料社区 were made by Iranians, in statements carried by Al Arabiya TV.

鈥淭hese attacks threaten the path to peace. All parties must urgently engage with the UN peace process,鈥� he said on Twitter earlier.
