Alwaght- Yemen's ambassador to Iran Ibrahim Mohammad al-Deilami said the war on Yemen is an American war, painting Saudi Arabia and the UAE as the puppets of Washington.
The Yemeni diplomat was talking at a conference hosted by Iran on Yemen titled “Yemen; the axis of change and self-confidence in the Islamic world,” Press TV reported.
The participants underlined that the war on Yemen was a plot hatched by the US and Israel against the impoverished nation of Yemen.
Meanwhile, Iran’s vice president for Parliamentary affairs Sayyed Mohammad Hosseini speaking at the ceremony said that Basij or popular forces have the spirit of resistance and such a spirit has even gone beyond Iranian borders and the spirit of resistance has spread across the region.
Since March 2015, Saudi Arabia and some of its Arab allies have been carrying out deadly airstrikes against Yemen in a bid to bring fugitive former president Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh back to power. The war has already killed tens of thousands of people, mostly civilians.
Analysts say that the resistance of Yemeni people in the war changed the balance of power in their favor, which caused the nation to become a role model for other Muslim nations; a role model which has been inspired by the Islamic revolution of Iran.
