Why it matters:
The condemnation reflects Iran's concern about the humanitarian and security situation in Yemen, as well as emphasizing the need to respect the national sovereignty of countries.
The big picture:
In recent years, Yemen has become one of the world's major humanitarian crises due to civil war and foreign interventions. The U.S.-backed Israeli regime's attacks on Yemen, especially on infrastructure, have raised serious concerns at the international level. Yemen is hit because of its support for the Palestinians under the Israeli blockade and strikes.
What he's saying:
Referring to the U.S. support and participation in these attacks, Baghaei called it a violation of the principles in the United Nations Charter.
He also called for effective action by the international community and regional countries to stop the killing and destruction in Islamic countries, and emphasized that the only way to prevent the spread of insecurity in the region is to stop the crimes of the Zionist regime.
