Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari blasted Saudi Arabia over its aggression against Yemen, saying Riyadh has breached all the Islamic principles.

“Saudi Arabia has shamelessly and rudely violated all the Islamic principles and attacked a Muslim country, a country which is opposed to hegemonic system and seeks independence,” Major General Jafari said in a speech in Tehran on Monday.

“Today, Saudi Arabia, the betrayer, is following in the footsteps of Israel and the Zionists.”

“Al Saud is on the brink of collapse and regional and international analysts have already talked about this. We are hopeful it will happen,” Major General Jafari said, according to Iranian media.

Meanwhile, Jafari urged Iranian officials to set aside their reservations in hitting out at Saudi Arabia over its aggression against Yemen.

By invading Yemen, Riyadh breached all those reservations, the Iranian commander said.

Yemen has been since March 26 under brutal aggression by Saudi-US coalition. Riyadh launched the attack on Yemen in a bid to restore power to Yemen’s fugitive president Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi who is a close ally to Saudi Arabia.

On April 21, Saudi Arabia declared the end of the aggression, dubbed “Decisive Strom,” and the start of another campaign called “Restoring Hope.”

The Saudi-led warplanes are still conducting airstrikes on several areas across Yemen.
Thousands have been martyred and injured in the attack.
