Iran condemns US strikes on Yemen that Houthi rebels claimed hit a migrant detention center in the Tehran-backed rebel group’s stronghold of Saada, killing at least 68 people.

In a statement, foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei calls the strikes “on civilian targets, vital infrastructure, and people’s homes in various parts of Yemen… a war crime.”
