Tehran’s provisional Friday Prayers Leader Ayatollah Seyed Ahmad Khatami condemned the Saudi regime for continuing the slaughtering of the civilians in Yemen. Addressing a large and fervent congregation of the people on Tehran University campus on Friday, Ayatollah Khatami said, “What we see today in Yemen is a snapshot of three centuries of crimes by Al Saud.” “The anti-human, anti-Quran and anti-Islam Saudi regime has been a friend of the Zionists for quite a long time and has helped Israel in that regime’s wars on Lebanon and Gaza,” the senior cleric added. He wished that the world of Islam would soon see the collapse of the Saudi regime.
In relevant remarks in June, former Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian renewed Tehran’s stance on the need to find a political solution to the crisis in Yemen. “The crisis in Yemen has no military solution and the Yemeni people themselves should decide their future,” Amir Abdollahian in a meeting with Japanese Foreign Ministry’s director general for the Middle East affairs in Tehran. The Iranian deputy foreign minister reiterated that the regional conflicts, specially the crises in Syria and Yemen, do not have military solutions, and said, “The only option is to consolidate peace and stability in those two countries and the region through adopting a rational stance.”
Saudi Arabia has been waging a war on Yemen since late March 2015 in a bid to reinstate Mansour Hadi and undermine the Ansarullah movement, which took over state matters after Hadi resigned. Over 9,400 Yemenis, including 4,000 women and children, have lost their lives in the deadly military campaign. Yemenis, in return, have been carrying out retaliatory attacks on the pro-Saudi forces deployed in the country as well as targets inside Saudi Arabia.
