Rasa - Saudis have made deals for another $7 billion in US arms related to the Yemen war, a media outlet reported.
RNA - Details of exactly what is being bought aren’t totally clear, with the State Department yet to officially disclose it to the US Congress, the Antiwar quoted Josan Ditz, an expert, as saying.
The deals are with Raytheon and Boeing, and are described as “precision guided munitions", it added.
Congressional votes on arms sales have historically been very easy to pass, though sales to the Saudis have been getting closer and closer, with thousands of civilians killed in the US-backed Saudi war, and concern that more arms sales adds to US culpability.
The Saudis have been buying arms aggressively from both the US and British since the 2015 invasion of Yemen.
