Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei has strongly condemned deadly strikes by the United States on areas in Yemen, including a detention center designated for African migrants.
Nearly 70 inmates were killed and more than 50 others wounded, most of them critically, in an US airstrike that targeted one of the detention centers designated for African migrants in Sa’ada province on Monday.
In a statement on Monday, Baghaei said the continued US military attacks on civilian targets, key infrastructures and homes of people in various parts of Yemen, which have killed hundreds of innocent people, are amount to a “war crime”.
He lashed out at the United Nations and human rights bodies for remaining silent and indifferent to the US attacks in clear breach of law and repeated violation of Yemen’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The Iranian spokesperson added that the Israeli regime continues its genocidal war in Palestine and its acts of aggression against Lebanon.
Baghaei said the US military aggression against Yemen is in line with the Israeli regime’s wicked plan to “destroy and weaken Muslim countries and to spread insecurity the entire West Asia region.”
He emphasized that all Muslim countries bear a historical responsibility to take effective strategies to stop the killing of the Muslim people of Yemen and to prevent the continuation of genocide in Gaza and the West Bank.
