Brig. Gen Ahmed Al-Assiri, the Saudi military spokesman said on Thursday that Riyadh is “ready” and will fight with its U.S.-led coalition allies to defeat ISIS militants.
He also sent a message to the regime in Iran, saying that if Tehran is serious in fighting ISIS, then it must stop supporting “terrorism” in Syria or Yemen.
Saudi military spokesman also said that the Islamic Military Alliance will take effect within two months.
Thirty-five Muslim countries released a joint statement announcing the formation of the alliance against terrorism in December last year. The alliance’s joint command center is located in the Saudi capital Riyadh.
The Saudi military spokesman said the Saudi’s decision to send troops to Syria is “final” and “irreversible”.
