The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran regards the repeated baseless accusations attributing the courageous actions of the Yemeni people in self-defense and in solidarity with the Palestinian people to Iran as an affront to that proud and oppressed nation. It must be underscored that it is the U.S. military that, in support of the Zionist regime’s genocidal campaign, has entered into direct conflict with the people of Yemen and is committing war crimes by targeting civilian infrastructure and non-military objectives across various Yemeni cities.

Undoubtedly, the Yemeni actions in support of the Palestinian people are independent decisions rooted in their human and Islamic solidarity with their Palestinian brothers and sisters. Attributing these actions to the Islamic Republic of Iran constitutes a deliberate misrepresentation aimed at deflecting attention from the Zionist regime’s atrocities in occupied Palestine, concealing strategic failures, and manufacturing pretexts for further destabilization of the West Asian region.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran, while reaffirming its principled stance on the necessity of respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of states, condemns the U.S. military strikes against Yemen as flagrant violations of the Charter of the United Nations and fundamental principles of international law.

Recalling the grave consequences of continued aggression on the security and stability of West Asia and the Red Sea region, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran has always called for an end to genocide and killings in occupied Palestine as the root cause of pervasive insecurity in the entire region.

The Islamic Republic of Iran, while reaffirming the firm resolve of the Iranian nation’s children to fully defend against any malign or unlawful act that threatens the nation’s security and interests, condemns the recent threats issued by the United States and the Zionist regime against Iranians’ homeland, and holds both parties accountable for the consequences and repercussions of such conduct.
