Iran has denounced Israel’s lethal counterattack on the Yemeni port of Hodeidah, which the militia claims resulted in six fatalities and numerous injuries.
Nasser Kanani, the spokesman for Iran’s foreign ministry, “strongly condemned” the attack late on Saturday, calling it “an expression of the aggressive behavior of the child-killing Israeli regime.”
In retaliation for the Houthis’ lethal drone attack on Tel Aviv that claimed one civilian life, Israeli warplanes attacked the strategically important port of Hodeidah on Saturday.
Since then, the Houthis have threatened Israel with a “huge” retaliation.
“Directly responsible for the dangerous and unpredictable consequences of the continued crimes in Gaza, as well as the attacks on Yemen,” Kanani continued, blaming Israel and its allies, including the United States.
Yemen’s Houthis, along with the Hezbollah group in Lebanon, and Hamas in Gaza are part of a Tehran-aligned “axis of resistance” against Israel and its allies.
The Islamic Republic has reiterated support for the groups but insisted they were independent in their decision-making and actions.
