A top Iranian diplomat has severely criticized Saudi Arabia for continuing its deadly military aggression against the Yemeni people, saying the Riyadh regime’s operation will pose further security threats to the Middle East.

“The continuation of the Saudi aggression will block the political path [for the resolution of Yemen’s conflict] and further endanger the security and peace of the region,” said Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hussein Amir-Abdollahian on Thursday.

The Iranian official warned that the Saudi strikes against the Yemeni people have paved the way for increasing terror activities in the violence-wracked country, adding that the kingdom’s raids actually target Yemen’s infrastructure and the people who are fighting against the terrorists.

Abdollahian also denounced as “totally baseless” the allegation that Tehran is providing arms to the Ansarullah fighters of the Houthi movement, saying that the presence of Iran’s naval forces in the high seas of the Gulf of Aden is within the framework of international regulations.

“Iran’s policy is to help promote peace, security and stability in Yemen and the whole region,” he stressed.

A Saudi-led coalition launched an aggression on Yemen for around a month (March 26 - April 21).

The Saudi-led aggression claimed thousands of martyrs and wounded and caused much destruction across the Arab World poorest state.
