Department of Defense photo from Dec. 14, 2017, when U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley spoke at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling in Washington in front of recovered missile pieces. Haley said they were the remains of a short-range ballistic missile fired by Houthi forces from Yemen at the civilian airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and that its missing stabilizer fins and nine valves identify it as an Iranian Qiam. U.S. officials said the display was pieced together from the debris of two missile attacks on Saudi Arabia that year (NBC News).
