Iran’s ambassador condemned US military strikes in Yemen and dismissed accusations against Iran as baseless, asserting violations of international law. With recent strikes leading to civilian casualties, Iran called for UN intervention and accountability for US actions, emphasizing respect for territorial integrity.
Iran has expressed strong condemnation of the United States’ recent military actions in Yemen and dismissed accusations from US officials as unfounded. Amir Saied Iravani, Iran’s ambassador to the UN, urged the international community to recognize these claims as attempts to justify US aggression and war crimes against Yemen, citing the loss of civilian lives including women and children.
In a recent statement, President Trump asserted that Iran bears responsibility for supporting Yemen’s Ansarullah movement. He emphasized that this support should cease immediately, threatening accountability for Tehran’s actions. Iravani responded that such rhetoric violates international law and the UN Charter, particularly Article 2(4), which prohibits threats of violence against sovereign nations.
Iravani highlighted the dangers of the US’s threats, warning that any aggression toward Iran would have grave repercussions and that the US should be prepared to accept full responsibility. He called on the UN Security Council to openly denounce these provocations and uphold international legal obligations.
Furthermore, the Iranian diplomat condemned the cooperative military actions between the US and UK against Yemen, asserting that they undermine Yemen’s sovereignty and contribute to regional instability. He reiterated Iran’s commitment to international law and emphasized that Yemeni forces independently conduct operations to protect their territorial integrity.
Recent US airstrikes in Yemen resulted in significant civilian casualties, including the reported deaths of numerous women and children. On Saturday night, US forces conducted extensive military operations in various Yemeni provinces, raising concerns about the humanitarian impact and regional security.
Iran has vehemently condemned the UN’s accusations against it and the recent US military actions in Yemen, emphasizing a violation of international law. The call for a clear stance from the UN Security Council highlights the necessity for accountability and adherence to international standards. Iran maintains its commitment to lawful actions and supports the Yemeni resistance while affirming its own sovereignty against foreign aggression.
