“Once in a diplomatic negotiation, I heard from a UN official that the Yemen war has provided the situation for some nomads and tribes to acquire missiles in the Arab country,” said Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, the Iranian Parliament's Director General for International Affairs, on Saturday.
The Iranian diplomat made the remarks in response to US Ambassador to UN Nikki Haley who claimed the missiles used by Yemenis were Iran-made.
“The show fabricated by US and Saudi Arabia was a political fiasco,” he said. “Since the beginning of the illegal invasion of Riyadh and Abu Dhabi to Yemen in the time of Obama in office, American officials have repeatedly said that US is providing Saudis with arms and intelligence,” asserted the Iranian official.
“Unfortunately, the massacre of Yemeni people in the last three years has been solely done by American and Western weapons and the broad supports of the illegitimate regime of Israel,” articulated Mr. Amir-Abdollahian.
“The Yemeni crisis has a political solution only and nobody buys the thread-bare shows of US and Saudi Arabia,” noted the Iranian diplomat.
“Today, Ansarallah and their Yemeni allies are at their best legitimate defensive status and are resisting the military attacks staged by the aggressors,” said Mr. Amir-Abdollahian.
“UAE, Riyadh, and US cannot project to impose themselves militarily on the resistant people of Yemen and the defeat of the militancy in Yemen is irrevocable,” he assured.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran announces explicitly that the crises in Yemen and Bahrain are only solvable through political solutions based on reason,” he noted.
