  "summary": "US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has stated that the United States will fulfill its defense commitments to Saudi Arabia in response to the ongoing Houthi military campaign. Speaking at a press conference during the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York City, Rubio expressed concern over the situation, stating that the US will not tolerate the attacks on Saudi Arabia and will uphold its obligations under the defense pact. Additionally, Rubio suggested that the Houthis may have received support from Shia militias in Iraq, who are believed to be proxies of Iran.",
