The US and its allies have charged Iran with interfering in Yemen, but have failed to mention anything about Saudi Arabia's four-year-long devastating war of aggression against Yemen.

Iran Press/America: The Foreign Ministers of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, the UK, and the US, in a joint declaration on Wednesday, accused Iran of meddling in Yemen’s affairs and blocking the peace process, while completely ignoring Saudi Arabia's war crimes in Yemen, giving a pass to Saudi aggression in Yemen.

The four foreign ministers met yesterday in an anti-Iran summit in Warsaw, which was held under the pretext of discussing peace in the Middle East but had a special focus on Iran.

According to an Iran Press report, the representatives of Saudi Arabia, the UK, the US, and the UAE once again claimed that they were committed to a comprehensive political solution to the conflict in Yemen and they claimed to endorse the agreements reached in Sweden by the Yemeni parties in December 2018.

The ministers, in a joint declaration, accused Iran of having a destabilizing effect on Yemen, through the provision of finance, ballistic missiles and advanced weaponry to the Houthis, and in the wider region.

Iran has strongly dismissed the claims on providing weapons to Houthis. Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif was quoted as saying in December, “Iran has not provided weapons to the Houthis (Ansarullah's movement) in Yemen."

The four ministers, in their joint declaration, also accused Iran of violating UNSCR 2216 and UNSCR 2231 resolutions, an accusation that Iran has strongly rejected.

The four foreign ministers also expressed full support for Saudi Arabia and its so-called 'legitimate national security concerns' and called for an immediate end to the Houthi’s attacks on Saudi Arabia. But they gave a pass on the Saudis' aggression in the war-torn country.

Along with their anti-Iran efforts, they also discussed steps to push forward the US’ wish to cut the exports of Iranian oil.

US repetitive unsuccessful attempts against Iran 

This new trend in US policy toward Iran is in line with prior unsuccessful attempts to form international coalitions against Iran. For instance, in February 2018, three months prior to the US withdrawal from the nuclear deal, Trump hosted an unconventional meeting with the delegations of all UN Security Council members to highlight what he called Iran’s 'destabilizing activities' in the region. That meeting did not appear to be as effective as expected, given the continued broad international support for the nuclear deal. 203/211/103
