Iran strongly condemns Israeli aggression on Yemen

TEHRAN, July 21 (YPA) – Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson, Nasser Kanaani, strongly condemned the Israeli aggression against western Yemen, warning that such aggression risks exacerbating the already dire situation in the region.

In a statement, Kanaani said by attacking Yemen, the regime was seeking to exact a toll on the oppressed but strong Yemeni people for their honorable support for the innocent Palestinian civilians.

The Iranian spokesman considered the continuous killing and all-out siege of the defenseless residents of the Gaza Strip as the root cause of the current tensions in the region, stressing that peace will not be restored to the region as long as the Zionist regime’s aggression continues in Palestine, especially in the Gaza Strip.

He held the Zionist regime and its backers, including the US government, directly responsible for the dangerous and unpredictable consequences of the continuation of crimes in Gaza, as well as adventurous attacks on Yemen.

The spokesman further asked God for forgiveness to the martyrs of today’s attack on the Yemeni port city, patience for their families, and speedy recovery for the injured.
