The officials, cited by NBC News, said that US ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, will present components of a Houthi short-range ballistic missile at��Defense Intelligence Agency headquarters at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling in Washington, D.C.
According to a senior US official, Halye's presentation will also include evidence to support the Trump administration's claim that Iran is destabilising the Middle East.
The missile was fired in November by the Iran-backed Houthi rebels into Saudi Arabia, prompting Riyadh to tighten its blockade on Yemen.
"We hold Iran responsible for this,"�Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said days after the attack, which targeted the kingdom's capital of Riyadh. "We believe this could be considered an act of war," he added.
Following the missile attack, a UN team was sent to Saudi Arabia to investigate claims by Riyadh that missiles fired into its territory originate from Iran.
Investigators reported that the missiles "had similar structural and manufacturing features which suggest a common origin," UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said.
