Iran Condemns Israeli Strikes on Yemen
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Iranian Foreign Ministry strongly condemned the Israeli regime’s airstrikes on power plants, a port and an oil facility in Yemen.
In a statement on Thursday morning, Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei categorically condemned the Zionist regime’s strikes on Yemen’s infrastructures, including a power plant in Sana’a, an oil facility in Ras Isa and the port city of Hudaydah.
He described the aggressive attacks that have destroyed Yemen’s civilian infrastructures as a clear violation of the international law principles and the UN Charter.
The Israeli regime is committing crimes with unconditional support from the US, Baqaei added, saying Washington is an accomplice in the Tel Aviv regime’s crimes and law-breaking.
The Iranian spokesman praised the Yemeni people’s honorable solidarity with the oppressed Palestinians, saying the international community and the Muslim world are legally and morally responsible to stop the Zionist regime’s acts of aggression and to prosecute and punish the regime for committing all types of crimes defined by the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, especially war crimes and the crime of aggression.
Al Masirah TV channel said that a series of “aggressive raids” by the Israeli regime were launched on Sana’a and the port city of Hudaydah early on Thursday.
The attacks “targeted two central power plants” in Sana’a, while in Hudaydah, “the enemy launched four aggressive raids targeting the port… and two raids targeting” an oil facility, Al Masirah reported.
Yemen’s SABA news agency also said that four raids targeted Hudaydah, with two targeting the Ras Isa oil facility, killing and injuring some of its employees.
