Iran Condemns US Actions in Yemen and Defends Territorial Integrity
Iranian official Baghaei condemned recent US strikes on Yemen for causing civilian casualties and criticized Western inaction regarding Israeli attacks during Ramadan. He warned that Iran would respond forcefully to any threats to its security and dismissed US claims of Iranian control over Yemen’s resistance as an attempt to deflect failures in the region.
Baghaei vehemently denounced the recent United States strikes on Yemen, emphasizing the unfortunate civilian casualties that have ensued, particularly affecting women and children. He criticized the silence of Western nations regarding Israel’s persistent assaults on Gaza and the West Bank during Ramadan, describing this as a continuation of genocide marked by relentless bombings over the last 16 months.
In response to US threats directed at Tehran following these Yemen strikes, Baghaei cautioned that Iran would respond decisively and vigorously to any aggression aimed at its territorial integrity, security, or national interests. This statement underscores Iran’s commitment to defending its sovereignty against perceived external threats.
He refuted allegations from the United States suggesting that Iran holds control over Yemen’s resistance movement, characterizing these claims as a desperate attempt to rationalize Washington’s failures in the region over the past 20 months. Baghaei emphasized that Yemeni forces operate autonomously, making independent strategic decisions in their support of Palestine’s resistance efforts.
The recent remarks by Baghaei encapsulate Iran’s strong condemnation of US military actions in Yemen, highlighting the humanitarian crises that arise from such conflicts. His warnings reflect Iran’s determination to protect its sovereignty against threats while simultaneously defending the independence of Yemeni forces. The assertions made regarding the US’s perception of Iran’s influence in Yemen further illustrate the complexities of regional geopolitics.
