Iran has strongly condemned the new US and UK aggression in Yemen’s three provinces as the Arab country continues its retaliatory operations against the Israeli regime.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei made the remarks on Thursday after the United States and Britain carried out aerial assaults on Yemen.

Yemen’s al-Masirah television channel reported that the strikes targeted the districts of Jarban, al-Luhayyah, and Harf Sufyan, situated in Sana’a, Hudaydah, and Amran provinces, respectively.

Baghaei said that these criminal acts cannot weaken the determination of the heroic people of Yemen in their support for the oppressed people of Palestine.

“The repeated aggressions by the US and UK against Yemeni infrastructures are committed with the aim of supporting the criminal Zionist regime and in line with the continued genocide committed by the fake regime against the oppressed Palestinians,” he added.

He called the attacks a flagrant violation of the international law and principles of the United Nations Charter.

The Iranian foreign ministry spokesman added that the attacks are a clear example of the ‘crime of aggression’ according to the statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC).

Baghaei censured the UN Security Council for failing to act regarding the continued genocide in Gaza and the military aggressions of the US, UK and the Zionist regime against the vital infrastructures of Yemen.

He called on the international community, especially Islamic and regional countries, to stop genocide and aggression of the Zionist regime and its allies against different nations in the region.

The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that its warplanes had targeted two underground weapons caches belonging to Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement, without specifying the location of the attacks.

The US and its allies have been bombing Yemen over the past months in violation of the country’s sovereignty and international law.

The illegal attacks came in response to Yemen’s campaign in solidarity with the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip amid a genocidal Israeli war.

As part of their campaign, the Yemeni Armed Forces have targeted ships heading to or departing ports in the occupied territories, or those linked to Israel, in the southern Red Sea, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the Gulf of Aden, and even in the Arabian Sea. 

They have also conducted strikes against Israeli targets in the occupied lands.

The Yemeni forces have stressed that they will continue their anti-Israel operations until the occupying regime ends its bloody Gaza onslaught.
