Tehran, IRNA — Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei has condemned the overnight military aggression by the United States and Britain against Yemen, describing the airstrikes as a major threat to both regional and international peace and security.
The joint strikes killed at least 31 people, most of them women and children. The attack was launched after U.S. President Donald Trump warned that “hell will rain down” on the ruling Ansarullah movement in Yemen.
Baqaei denounced the new act of aggression as a blatant violation of the United Nations Charter and the fundamental principles of international law, such as the prohibition of the use of force and the respect for national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
He called on the U.N. Security Council to take action against these violations to safeguard international peace and security.
He added that the joint U.S.-U.K. military action aligns with their ongoing support for the oppression of Palestinians, including the genocide in Gaza and suppression of Palestinians’ legitimate rights.
The strikes occurred just days after the Yemeni Armed Forces announced they would resume maritime operations targeting Israeli-linked shipping in the Red Sea, following an ultimatum demanding Israel lift its blockade on Gaza.
Baqaei pointed out that the occupation and oppression in Palestine remain the primary source of insecurity in the West Asia region. He urged all governments, along with international and Islamic organizations, to oppose the continuation of genocide and ethnic cleansing in Palestine.
