Iranian state TV says an airstrike by the Saudi-led coalition has hit close to the Iranian Embassy in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, shattering windows but causing no casualties or injuries.

The report says Iran’s Foreign Ministry summoned the kingdom’s envoy to Tehran to protest over the bombing on Monday.

It quotes Iran’s deputy foreign minister, Hossein Amir Abdollahian, as warning the Saudis to abide by their international obligations and respect diplomatic missions. The report adds that Tehran holds Riyadh responsible for the safety of its mission in Sanaa.

Sanaa came under heavy bombardment on Monday as Saudi-led coalition warplanes targeted weapon caches held by Iranian-backed Shiite rebels known as the Houthis who have seized much of Yemen.

The Saudi air campaign in Yemen is now in its fourth week.

    Did they get scared at the embassy? Or did they feel the real heat resulting from their plots?
    Keep summoning that ambassador, he likes seeing you in that state of fear and confusion.

    Our goal is to try to bring about a political resolution to the conflict. – White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest

    “Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, widely regarded as the terrorist network’s most lethal franchise, has capitalized on the chaos by sharply expanding its reach. Fighters loyal to the group claimed control Thursday of a military base and other key facilities near Mukalla, an Arabian Sea port in southern Yemen”.

    “Saudi officials said they are not targeting areas with Al Qaeda fighters, however, and are focusing only on the Houthis, a Shiite Muslim minority whom they view as proxies for Iran, Saudi Arabia’s regional rival”.

    Saudi-led Yemen air war’s high civilian toll unsettles U.S. officials- -Our goal is to try to bring about a political resolution to the conflict. – White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest HaHa

    gunmen in Sana, Yemen, on April 16 protest a U.N. arms embargo against
    Houthi rebels. Saudi-led airstrikes in Yemen have hit “dozens of public
    buildings,” including schools and mosques, the U.N. said.”

    $80 billion worth of weapons and then gets bent because they use them?
    The Gulf Arabs have been on a weapon buying spree–boys go nuts with
    toys”.GroupThinker
