The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Esmaeil Baqaei, has strongly condemned on Sunday the US and UK airstrikes on the infrastructure of Saada province in northern Yemen.
In a statement on Sunday, Esmaeil Baqaei denounced the “recurrent US and UK military aggression against Yemen.”
The spokesperson described the military strikes by the US and the UK as a “clear violation of Yemen’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity” that contradict the principles of international law and the United Nations Charter.
He warned that these actions would lead to increased insecurity and instability in the West Asia region.
The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces conducted multiple precision strikes against two Iranian-backed Houthi underground Advanced Conventional Weapon (ACW) storage facilities within Houthi-controlled territories of Yemen on January 8.
In a statement yesterday, the U.S. Central Command said the Houthis used these facilities to conduct attacks against U.S. navy warships and merchant vessels in the southern Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
There were no injuries or damage to U.S. personnel or equipment, according to the statement released.
