Tehran: Israeli war crimes in Yemen reflect hostility to regional nations’ prosperity
Iran’s Foreign Ministry robustly condemns the Zionist regime’s most recent deadly atrocities against Yemen’s civilian targets, saying they clearly reflect Tel Aviv’s “hostility” towards the prosperity of the regional nations.
The ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei made the remarks on Sunday after Zionist regime martyred 6 Yemeni civilians and wounded over 80 others during airstrikes against the country’s capital, Sana’a. The acts of aggression also inflicted damage on an oil company facility and a power station in the city.
The official denounced such repeated assaults, which have been targeting critical civilian infrastructure, including airports, seaports, power stations, and food storage facilities, as “war crimes and crimes against humanity.”
Yemen’s Ansarallah movement has condemned Israel’s latest airstrikes on several civilian facilities in the capital, Sana’a.
The regime and its allies, the United States and the UK, have been conducting countless such assaults on non-combatant targets throughout the Arab Peninsula nation.
The attacks have been seeking to stop Yemen’s solidarity strikes in support of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, who have come under a heavily Western-backed Israeli war of genocide.
Commending the solidarity and support provided by the Yemeni people for the oppressed Palestinians, Baghaei said standing up for Gaza was a duty of all Muslim countries.
By extension, all governments throughout the world had to rush to Gaza’s support, besides confronting the regime’s atrocities against the occupied West Bank, the spokesman noted.
He described such responsibility as “a legal and moral duty,” hoping that the upcoming extraordinary meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC)’s foreign ministers in the Saudi port city of Jeddah attaches special priority to this matter.
