The Iranian Foreign Ministry denounces the US and UK airstrikes in Yemen as violations of international law, emphasizing the need for global response to such aggression and related injustices against Palestinians.
The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has condemned the recent airstrikes conducted by the United States and the United Kingdom in Yemen, which resulted in numerous casualties, including women and children. The ministry’s spokesperson, Esmaeil Baghaei, labeled these actions a flagrant violation of the United Nations Charter and international law, emphasizing the prohibition on the use of force and the necessity to uphold national sovereignty.
Baghaei asserted that it is the responsibility of the United Nations and the Security Council to address violations that jeopardize international peace and security. He characterized the military aggression by the US and UK as part of their ongoing support for the injustices faced by the Palestinian people while suppressing any solidarity for their legitimate rights.
Furthermore, he identified the persistent mass killings and occupation of Palestinian territories as the primary source of instability in West Asia. Baghaei pointed out that this situation is exacerbated by the support of the US, UK, and several Western nations, which he claims poses a significant threat to regional and global security.
Baghaei urged all nations as well as international and Muslim organizations to fulfill their legal and moral duties in combating genocide and ethnic cleansing in Palestine. He criticized the tactics employed against the Palestinians, particularly the imposition of famine and starvation during Ramadan.
On the same day, American and British forces targeted several locations in Yemen, launching extensive airstrikes that resulted in at least 31 fatalities and 101 injuries according to the Yemeni health ministry. These aerial attacks commenced after the Yemeni Armed Forces announced they would resume reprisals against ships linked to Israel due to the blockade imposed on Gaza.
In summary, the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has strongly condemned the recent US and UK airstrikes in Yemen as a violation of international law and UN mandates. The Ministry calls for global accountability concerning aggressive actions that threaten regional stability, highlighting the urgent need for intervention to address both the humanitarian crisis in Yemen and ongoing oppression in Palestine.
