ALWAGHT- Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei has strongly condemned the overnight US and British military strikes on Yemen, calling them a serious threat to regional and global peace and security.
The joint US-UK airstrikes on Yemen killed at least 31 people, mostly women and children, following US President Donald Trump's warning that "hell will rain down" on the Ansarullah movement. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei strongly condemned the attack, calling it a blatant violation of the UN Charter and international law, particularly regarding national sovereignty and the prohibition of force.
Baghaei urged the UN Security Council to take action against these violations to protect international peace and security. He also linked the military strikes to continued Western support for the oppression of Palestinians, including the genocide in Gaza and the suppression of their legitimate rights.
The attack came just days after the Yemeni Armed Forces announced plans to resume operations targeting Israeli-linked shipping in the Red Sea, demanding an end to Israel’s blockade on Gaza. Baghaei emphasized that the root cause of instability in West Asia is the occupation and oppression in Palestine, calling on governments and international organizations to stand against genocide and ethnic cleansing.
