Saudi Arabia bombs civilians after each defeat in Yemen: Iran

Iran has sharply condemned a deadly Saudi air raid on a market in the Yemeni city of Ta’izz, saying the Riyadh military resorts to the massacre of defenseless civilians whenever it suffers defeat in its aggression.

“Since the outset of this devastating war more than thousand days ago, Saudi Arabia has shown that whenever it faces failure and defeat in battlefields and operation zones, it retaliates by bombarding the defenseless people and martyring innocent women and children,” said Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi.

Qassemi further criticized the so-called advocates of human rights for their inaction in the face of such “crazy” attacks, which are conducted by lethal American weapons.

On Tuesday, Saudi-led airstrikes martyred or injured over 120 people in a market in Heime District in the southwestern province of Ta’izz.

At least 13,600 Yemeni people have lost their lives since the onset of the military campaign in 2015. Much of the country's infrastructure, including hospitals, schools and factories, has been reduced to rubble due to the unprovoked war by the Saudi regime and its allied killers.
