Iran condemns Saudi offensive into Yemen

A senior Iranian official has condemned the Saudi government for entering the Yemen conflict by launching an offensive in northern parts of the country.

Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani called into question the Saudi motive behind its offensive into northern Yemen, which he said had exacerbated the already worsening situation in Yemen.

“An unfair conflict has arisen in Yemen but I wonder how [our] Saudi brothers who are Muslim do such a thing. They are in fact … killing Muslims,” Larijani said, citing negotiation as the only means to defuse the crisis in Yemen. Source: Press TV
