Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei has strongly condemned “brutal” US airstrikes on Yemen that targeted a fuel port and killed dozens of people.
Esmaeil Baghaei on Friday described the US attack as “a clear example” of the flagrant violation of the United Nations Charter and international law.
“The US aggressions against Yemen, which are carried out as part of this country’s comprehensive support for the Zionist regime’s occupation and genocide in occupied Palestine, have made the US an accomplice and partner in Israel’s crimes in Palestine and the region,” Baghaei said.
The spokesman warned that the continued US strikes on Yemen, the destruction of the country’s vital infrastructure and the killing of people in the impoverished country “not only encourage the Zionist regime to continue its crimes in Gaza and the West Bank, but also serve as a factor in exacerbating insecurity in the region.”
He also warned that the US aggression “poses a threat to international peace and security.”
Meanwhile, Baghaei expressed Iran’s solidarity with the Yemeni nation, calling on the international community to break their silence on the violations of international law and human rights by Washington.
The statement came as the US conducted airstrikes on the western fuel port of Ras Isa on Thursday, killing at least 58 people and wounding 126 others.
It was one of the deadliest since the US began its attacks on the country.
