The Chief of the Persian Gulf Department at the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Mohammad AliBek, has denounced the recent airstrikes carried out by the United States and the United Kingdom on Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, calling the attacks a flagrant violation of international law and the UN Charter.

Speaking on Wednesday, AliBek stated that these military aggressions were conducted in support of the ongoing crimes committed by the Israeli regime in Gaza. He described the repeated assaults on Yemeni territory as part of a broader campaign of destabilization in the West Asia region.

AliBek emphasized that Israel’s policies in Gaza, which he described as genocidal, are the root cause of conflicts across the region. He warned that the regime’s warmongering approach threatens both regional and international peace and security.

“The continuation of adventurism under US leadership in the region aims to destabilize the area and obstruct the peace process among the groups and countries involved in the Yemen crisis,” AliBek said.

In his statement, AliBek held the United States and the United Kingdom directly responsible for the consequences of what he called “dangerous and unprecedented events” in the region. He urged the international community to take a stand against the actions of these countries and to prioritize efforts toward restoring stability in Yemen and the broader region.

Iran has consistently criticized Western involvement in the region, arguing that such actions exacerbate conflicts and undermine peace initiatives. AliBek’s remarks underline Iran’s position that foreign military interventions, particularly those led by the US and UK, are detrimental to regional stability and global security.

The Iranian official’s comments come amid heightened tensions across West Asia, with the ongoing crisis in Gaza and the Yemen conflict continuing to draw international attention. (ILKHA)
