Why it matters:
Tensions between Iran and Israel are escalating at a time when the broader region remains on edge. By framing its response as legally justified under international law, Iran is seeking international validation for any potential military action.
The big picture:
Tehran’s explicit legal framing is aimed at preparing the global stage for escalation, while placing blame squarely on Israel and its chief ally, the United States.
What Yemen says:
The statement states that this aggression follows the escalation of Western tensions against the Islamic Republic of Iran, which has become a flexible tool in the hands of the Israeli regime and its supporters, while they have turned a blind eye to the Israeli regime's nuclear arsenal by applying double standards.
