![Brian Hook (C), the US special representative on Iran, listens to a Saudi official as they check what Saudi officials said was an Iranian-made launcher used by the Huthi rebels in Yemen, during a visit to an army base in al-Kharj, south of the Saudi capital Riyadh, on June 21, 2019. The US said Iran has no right to respond to diplomacy "with military force", a day after Washington said Tehran shot down a US drone over the Strait of Hormuz. "Our diplomacy does not give Iran the right to respond with military force," Hook, told reporters in Saudi Arabia.
