Ali Akbar Velayati, who is also the Secretary General of the World Islamic Awakening Assembly wrote “martyr Saleh al-Sammad, the head of the political council of the Yemeni Ansarullah movement, was one of the influential people in the Islamic Awakening movement that stood and resisted against the triangle of America, Zionism and Saudi Arabia…”

Later in his message, Velayati strongly condemned Saudi-led aggression on Yemen that has entered its third year, saying martyrdom and sacrifices that have been made by martyrs like Ali al-Sammad will strengthen the resolve of the Yemeni people to further resist.
