Iran has condemned US airstrikes in Yemen and Israeli military actions in Gaza, emphasizing the high civilian toll and characterizing the situation as a joint US-Israeli effort against the Palestinian population. Iranian officials, including Ayatollah Khamenei, have called for an end to these “crimes” and criticized US officials’ provocative statements regarding Iran’s role in the region.
On March 20, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei condemned the ongoing US airstrikes on Yemen and escalating Israeli attacks in Gaza. His statement followed recent US strikes targeting Houthi positions in Yemen, which began on Saturday, and intensified Israeli military actions against Gaza, initiated earlier on Tuesday.
Baghaei expressed profound sorrow regarding civilian casualties, highlighting the impacts of US military actions on innocent women and children, as well as the destruction of critical infrastructure in Yemen. He characterized the nations supplying arms and support to Israel as complicit in these acts, referring to them as partners in Israeli atrocities.
He further suggested that the concurrent US operations in Yemen, alongside the intensified violence in Gaza, reflect a coordinated effort to undermine support for the Palestinian populace. Baghaei characterized this situation as a “joint US-Israeli conspiracy.”
Reports indicate that a recent wave of US airstrikes targeted Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, resulting in at least nine injuries, including seven women and two children. This attack was the second instance of US military action in the region within a few days, following earlier strikes that resulted in significant casualties.
In the Gaza Strip, an Israeli airstrike on March 20 killed at least 16 Palestinians during a public mourning event, with over 30 others sustaining injuries. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei also condemned the US strikes, labeling them a “crime that must be stopped” and urging action against the attacks on civilians in Yemen.
Moreover, on March 18, Iranian authorities condemned perceived provocative remarks by US officials, including President Donald Trump, regarding Iran’s supposed involvement in the attacks by Yemen’s Houthis, signaling broader tensions in regional geopolitics.
In summary, Iranian officials have condemned the US airstrikes in Yemen and Israeli military actions in Gaza, denouncing the civilian casualties and destruction caused by these attacks. The Iranian government perceives these actions as part of a coordinated effort to eliminate support for the Palestinian cause and continues to call for international accountability regarding military aggressions against civilian populations.
