According to the report, Iran has urged the US to end its support for Israel’s continuing strikes on Yemen, claiming Israel is trying to use its conflict with the Houthi-led government to drive a wedge between Iran and the US in the negotiations over the future of Tehran’s civil nuclear program.
The report said that the strikes have been criticized by the UN-recognized Yemeni government based in Aden, which said it had not been consulted, and the air strikes alone were not an integrated plan to remove the Houthis from power. Yemen has been divided between the Houthis and the official government since the Houthis captured the capital, Sana’a, in 2015.
The report added that the Iranian foreign ministry on Monday issued a statement insisting the Houthis operate independently from Iran and are not a proxy army. The Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson, Esmaeil Baqaei, denounced the strikes as “a blatant crime and a gross violation of the principles and rules of international law”. Baqaei urged international and regional powers “to stop the killing and destruction America and Israel are committing in Islamic countries”.
In addition, the escalation in Yemen represents a further diplomatic difficulty for Iran since support for the Houthis’ acts of solidarity with Gaza has featured prominently in Iran’s conservative media, and numerous UN reports have documented Iranian arms shipments to the Houthis.
