Iranian officials condemned US airstrikes in Yemen and Israeli attacks in Gaza, citing humanitarian crises and civilian casualties. They argue that nations assisting Israel are complicit in these actions and call for solidarity with the Palestinian cause.
On March 20, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei condemned the ongoing US airstrikes in Yemen and the intensified Israeli attacks in Gaza. His condemnation followed US airstrikes targeting Houthi positions in Yemen and increased assaults by Israel on Gaza. Baghaei expressed profound sorrow over civilian casualties and significant damage to essential infrastructure in Yemen, attributing this to what he termed US “military aggression.”
Baghaei emphasized that nations supplying arms and financial support to Israel are complicit in these actions. He highlighted that the simultaneous nature of US attacks on Yemen and the escalating situation in Gaza suggests a “joint US-Israeli conspiracy” aimed at stifling support for the Palestinian people.
The United States reported additional airstrikes on Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, injuring at least nine individuals, including seven women and two children. According to Houthi-run al-Masirah TV, this incident is one of many, as prior raids had already resulted in 53 fatalities and numerous injuries among civilians. In Gaza, an Israeli airstrike targeted a gathering of mourners, leading to the death of at least 16 Palestinians and injuries to over 30 more.
Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, also criticized the airstrikes, labeling them as a heinous act against the civilian population of Yemen that must cease. He referred to these US actions as crimes on his official platform. Earlier in the week, Iran condemned remarks from US officials regarding its supposed involvement with the Houthis in Yemen, characterizing them as “reckless and provocative.”
In summary, Iranian officials, led by Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, have denounced the US airstrikes in Yemen and Israeli assaults in Gaza. They highlighted the humanitarian crisis resulting from these actions and asserted that complicit nations share responsibility. The situation reflects a broader concern regarding the oppression faced by Palestinians and the need for international solidarity.
