Iran Press/Europe: Responding to statements by the Saudi ambassador to London Prince Khalid bin Bandar bin Sultan, the ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Kingdom Hamid Baeidinejad posted a tweet on Thursday, pointing to Saudis' destabilizing policies against Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon.
The Saudi ambassador to London in an interview with The Daily Telegraph accused Iran of interfering in the internal affairs of the region and added that Iran's actions should not be left unanswered.
Backed by the United States, the Saudi regime and some of its Arab allies invaded Yemen in 2015 and have enforced a strict blockade of the country by ground, air, and sea.
The Saudi war has affected over seven million children in Yemen who now face a serious threat of famine, according to UNICEF figures.
Over 6,000 children have either been killed or sustained serious injuries since 2015, the UN children’s agency said. The humanitarian situation in the country has also been exacerbated by outbreaks of cholera, polio, and measles.
The US-based Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED), a nonprofit conflict-research organization, estimates that the war in Yemen has claimed more than 91,000 lives over the past four and a half years.
