Iran rejects ‘baseless’ allegations of involvement in Yemen’s retaliatory operations

Pars Today – Iran’s Foreign Ministry has firmly denounced as “baseless and misleading” the repeated claims attributing Yemen’s actions in self-defense and in support of the Palestinian people to the Islamic Republic.

The Ministry said in a statement on Monday “Undoubtedly, the Yemenis’ actions are an independent decision, rooted in their humanitarian principle and solidarity with Palestinians,” adding that linking them to the Islamic Republic is aimed at covering up Israeli crimes in the Occupied Palestine and seeking excuses to destabilize the West Asian region. While deploring US attacks on Yemen as a gross violation of the United Nations Charter and the fundamental principles of international law, the Ministry reaffirmed Iran’s respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity of countries./IRNA
