“The Yemeni government has announced that they will prevent assistance to Israel as long as the Zionists continue their crimes against people in Gaza. They [the Yemenis] are an independent player in the international scene, who act based on their recognition. Therefore, it is not right to relate their measures to others,” the Iranian official said on Monday at a press briefing in Tokyo, Japan, where he arrived earlier for a two-day visit.
On a question about Iran’s expectation from Japan regarding the Gaza war, Bagheri Kani said that Japan, in a right manner, voted for a recent UN General Assembly resolution on a ceasefire in Gaza. The country can also use other international capacities it has to help stop the genocide in the Palestinian territory, he added.
The Iranian diplomat said that the Palestinian Resistance movement Hamas launched its October 7 Operation Al-Aqsa Storm in response to 75 years of occupation and aggression as well as 16 years of the “inhumane blockade” of Gaza and the imprisonment of around 6,000 Palestinians.
Bagheri Kani further said that the Palestinian people are the only ones who can and should decide their future, adding that their views should be a basis for establishing peace and stability in West Asia.
