SAEDNEWS: In a telephone conversation with Head of Yemen’s Supreme Political Council Mahdi Al-Mashat on Sunday, Raeisi censured a series of missile strikes carried out by the United States and its allies on Yemen, stressing the action shows Washington’s aggressive and anti-human rights nature.
Iran's president stressed the need to ensure the security and stability of international shipping routes used by various countries.
Iran’s president stated the Yemenis have resisted the aggression of foreign powers for years and are still playing an effective role in defending the oppressed Palestinians, adding that all freedom-seeking nations in the world condemn the US onslaught against the Yemeni people.
The US and UK, supported by several other countries, carried out a series of missile strikes on several Yemeni targets in the early hours of Friday in response to the country’s armed forces targeting shipping routes in the Red Sea. Following the raids, Yemen announced that Washington and London interests are "legitimate targets" for the country’s armed forces.
Yemen has pledged solidarity with the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip which has been under Israel’s relentless bombardment since early October, and vowed not to stop attacking Israeli-owned and -bound merchant vessels in the strategic maritime route until the Zionist regime ends its ongoing war in the besieged territory.
The country's army has warned that the American and British naval fleet will be a “legitimate” target for the following the air strikes.
During the phone call, President Rayeesi said Israel was a genocidal regime for committing crimes against Palestinian civilians, particularly women and children in the besieged enclave.
He reiterated Iran's principled stance on support for the Palestinian people and emphasized that Israeli aggression will end with the final victory of the Palestinians (SOURCE: FARSNEWS).
