Iranian Ambassador to Yemen: Continuation of US-led siege on Yemen is a war crime

SANAA, Dec. 17 (YPA) – Iran’s Ambassador to Yemen Hassan Irlou on Wednesday condemned the ongoing aggression and brutal blockade imposed on Yemen by Saudi-led coalition.

The continuation of the siege against the Yemeni people by the US-led aggressors is a war crime, Hassan Irlou said in a tweet.

استمرار حصار العدوان الذي تتزعمه أمريكا ضد الشعب اليمني، هو من جرائم الحرب التي يُعاقب عليها القانون الدولي والإنساني، ولن يستمر صمت أبناء الأمة تجاه هذا الحصار القاتل لليمنيين .#نعم_لفك_حصار_امريكا_لليمن

He added that under the international law and human rights regulations, the US action must be prosecuted.

Silence of the nations against this cruel siege against the Yemeni people will not continue, he reiterated.
