Tehran, IRNA – Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh condemned the recent air attacks against residential areas in Yemen which have resulted in killing and injuring scores of innocent civilians.
Expressing sympathy towards the families of the victims, Khatibzadeh said that the continuation of military attacks on Yemen with silence of the international community, the uncontrolled sale of weapons to the aggressors, taking a biased approach and double standards toward seven years of brutal aggression against the Yemeni people has made it even more difficult to achieve fair peace.
The countries which have provided arms for the aggressors in Yemen and killed Yemeni women and children by equipping them with bombs and weapons of mass destruction are complicit in these crimes and should respond to the public opinion, he noted.
He termed the continuation of blockade and bombing against Yemeni people as lack of serious determination to advance the political settlement for Yemen crisis and persisting in a destructive military approach, which will result in damaging Yemen and instability in the region.
