The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned recent US and UK airstrikes in Yemen, which killed many civilians, including women and children. The spokesperson asserted that these actions violate international law and contribute to regional instability. Urging global action, he linked the violence in Yemen to Western support for Israel and highlighted the plight of Palestinians amid ongoing conflicts.
The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has formally condemned recent airstrikes conducted by the United States and the United Kingdom against multiple locations in Yemen, including the capital, Sana’a. These strikes reportedly resulted in numerous casualties, particularly among women and children. The ministry described these actions as a significant infringement of the UN Charter and basic international law, which forbids the use of force and insists on the respect of national sovereignty.
In a statement issued by spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei, he asserted that the UN and its Security Council bear responsibility for addressing violations that jeopardize international peace. Baghaei characterized the military aggression by the US and UK as part of their ongoing support for violence against the Palestinian people while suppressing efforts to uphold their legitimate rights.
Baghaei emphasized that the persistent instability in Western Asia is primarily due to ongoing violence and occupation in Palestinian territories, enabled by support from the US, the UK, and several Western nations. He noted that this situation poses a significant risk not only to regional but also to global security.
The Iranian diplomat further urged all governments, alongside international and Muslim organizations, to fulfill their legal and ethical duties in opposing genocide and ethnic cleansing against Palestinians. This includes the severe imposition of starvation and famine, particularly during the holy month of Ramadan.
The airstrikes, which ensued on Saturday night, targeted locations in Sana’a and adjacent provinces, leading to significant devastation. According to the Yemeni health ministry, these attacks resulted in at least 31 fatalities and left 101 individuals injured. These strikes were reportedly in response to threats from Yemeni Armed Forces to escalate operations against ships linked to Israel in the Red Sea arising from a blockade on Gaza.
The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs vehemently condemns the recent US and UK airstrikes in Yemen, citing significant legal violations and humanitarian concerns. Spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei highlights the broader implications of ongoing Western military actions in relation to regional instability and the Palestinian cause. There is a call for international responsibility in preventing genocide and a demand for immediate action to address the humanitarian crisis.
