Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian hails firm stance of Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement in support of the oppressed Palestinian people in the face of the Israeli regime’s crimes and aggression.
Amir-Abdollahian made the remark in a Monday meeting with the spokesman for Yemen’s Ansarullah, Mohammed Abdul-Salam, who is in Tehran to hold talks with senior Iranian officials.
Israel waged the genocidal war on Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas carried out the cross-border Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the usurping entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.
However, 87 days into the invasion, the Tel Aviv regime has failed to achieve its objectives of “destroying Hamas” and finding Israeli captives despite killing 21,978 Palestinians, mostly children and women. The war has also injured 57,697 people.
In his remarks, Amir-Abdollahian also voiced Iran’s support for the promotion of peace in Yemen and the advancing negotiations with Saudi Arabia.
The top Iranian diplomat pledged Tehran’s support for the Yemeni people’s will and demand.
The senior Ansarullah official, for his part, lauded Iran’s unwavering political support for the resistance front and briefed the Iranian foreign minister on the latest developments regarding the promotion of peace in Yemen.
Back in September, Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Ministry welcomed the “positive results” of talks with a delegation from Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement aimed at bringing an end to the kingdom’s eight-year war on its southern neighbor.
In a statement, the ministry supported a political solution to the Yemen conflict, after the Yemeni team, along with an Omani mediator, returned to Sana’a following five days of talks with Saudi officials in Riyadh.
Onus on US for Israel’s war in Gaza: Qalibaf
In a separate meeting with Abdul-Salam on Monday, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf described the US as the main culprit in Israel’s ongoing war in Gaza.
Qalibaf added that were it not for the presence of the US and its military support, it would not have been possible for the Israeli regime to withstand the first blow delivered to the regime as a result of Al-Aqsa Storm Operation, launched by the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas on October 7.
He reaffirmed Iran’s support for the resistance front and added called the US the root cause of problems in the Muslim world.
Abdul-Salam, for his part, voiced the Yemeni people’s strong support for the Palestinians in their battle against the Israeli regime.
He hailed Iran’s support for the Yemeni people and added that all Yemen’s capacities, including its weapons, aim to serve the interests of Muslims.
Yemen is currently capable of taking an operational position alongside the resistance front, Abdul-Salam said, adding that his country follows a policy that stands up to the bullying of Israel and the US in the region.
