Saudi Arabia is focussing on using air strikes to combat Iranian-allied Houthi fighters in Yemen, and has not contemplated sending in ground troops, the country's ambassador to the United States told NBC on Sunday morning.
"We haven't made a decision to send ground troops," Adel al-Jubeir said on NBC's Meet the Press. "So far, it has been an air campaign. We have a plan in motion and we are executing this plan."
