Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi condemns the US air strikes on Yemen, saying the attacks revealed what he calls the true aggressive nature of the United States, Iran’s IRNA news agency reports.
Supporting defenseless Palestinians is the principled stance of Iran, Raisi adds in a phone call with the head of Yemen’s Houthi Supreme Political Council, Mahdi al-Mashat, it reports.
Referring to the US strikes, Raisi says such actions “are rejected and condemned by the freedom-seeking nations of the world.”
Mashat says Yemen stands firm in confronting Israel and supporting the people of Gaza.
