Iran warns US-UK aggressive strikes on Yemen will fuel instability in region
Iran has warned that the fresh American-British attack on Yemen will fuel "insecurity and instability" in the West Asia region.
In a statement on Sunday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei strongly condemned the coalition’s air strikes targeting infrastructure in Yemen’s northwestern city of Sa’ada, mere days after their aerial bombardment of the western coastal province of Hudaydah.
Baghaei said continued military aggression by the United States, Britain and the Israeli regime against Yemen constitutes a clear violation of Yemen’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
He added that the attacks contradict the rules and principles of international law and the United Nations Charter.
Yemen’s official Saba news agency, citing a local source speaking on condition of anonymity, reported that the Western military alliance carried out three aerial attacks east of the provincial capital city of Sa’ada early on Sunday.
There were no immediate reports about the extent of damage caused and possible casualties.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson also slammed the continued genocide and killings of the oppressed people of Palestine and the ongoing US-UK military and political support for the Israeli regime.
Baghaei said the US and Britain's support for the Tel Aviv regime shows their direct involvement in heinous international crimes against the people of Gaza.
He commended the honorable stance of the Yemeni people and other free nations in expressing support and solidarity with the Palestinian people.
The Iranian spokesman called on the international community and Muslim countries to take more serious action, especially within the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), to end the genocide in Palestine and help the displaced people of Gaza.
Yemenis have declared their open support for Palestine’s struggle against the Israeli occupation since the regime launched its devastating war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, which has killed at least 45,805 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured another 109,064 individuals in Gaza since the onset of the war.
The Yemeni armed forces have intensified retaliatory operations against Israeli assets within the occupied territories in support of Palestinians in Gaza facing a genocidal war.
Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement has also been targeting ships linked to Israel, the United States, or the United Kingdom to force an end to the war on Gaza.
