Addressing a large and fervent congregation of the people in Tehran on Friday, Ayatollah Emami Kashani said, “Those who attack Yemen and Palestine and bombard their people, as well as kill a large number of women, children, youth and old people are looking for annihilating the Muslim World.”
The senior cleric blamed the US and its regional allies for the ongoing dramatic situation in Yemen.
Saudi Arabia and a number of its regional allies launched a devastating campaign against Yemen in March 2015, with the aim of bringing the government of former Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi back to power and crushing the Ansarullah movement.
Despite Riyadh’s claims that it is bombing the positions of the Ansarullah fighters, Saudi bombers are flattening residential areas and civilian infrastructures. Weddings, funerals, schools and hospitals, as well as water and electricity plants, have been targeted, killing and wounding hundreds of thousands.
