In a statement, the Foreign Ministry strongly condemned the military attacks on various parts of Yemen, which have resulted in the deaths and injuries of large numbers of defenseless Yemeni Muslims and inflicted severe damage on the country’s infrastructure.

It specifically condemned the Sunday afternoon’s airstrikes on a market in Taiz, which killed more than 50 people and wounded dozens more, as well as airstrikes on the city of Khab and Ash Shaf.

The ministry said the continued violations of Yemen’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity and aggressive operations against cities and villages across the country — which have also been targeted by the Israeli regime and the US some time ago — along with the continued economic blockade of Yemen, run counter to the fundamental principles of the UN Charter, particularly Article 2(4), and contradict Islamic principles and teachings.

The Foreign Ministry finally reaffirmed Iran’s principled position on the situation in Yemen and stressed Tehran’s readiness to undertake any good offices necessary to help resolve the Arab country’s problems based on the agreed roadmap.
