Iran\u2019s Judiciary Chief Ayatollah Sadeq Amoli Larijani denounced as a new plot the US claim that Iran has supplied missiles to Yemen, saying a total blockade that has barred even the delivery of medicine to Yemen shows that Washington\u2019s accusation is ridiculous.
\nAddressing a meeting of Judiciary officials on Monday, Ayatollah Amoli Larijani took a swipe at the Trump administration for raising the \u201cridiculous claim\u201d that Iran has provided Yemen with missiles, describing it as part of a new American plot against Iran.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow could the Islamic Republic of Iran send missiles to Yemen when Yemen has been blockaded and even the delivery of medicine has been barred,\u201d the top judge added.<\/p>\n
The official also hailed the massive turnout in the Sunday\u2019s nationwide rallies marking the victory anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, saying such unity has thwarted all hostile measures against Iran.<\/p>\n
In comments on Thursday, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei referred to the US backing for the killing of Yemeni people as a flagrant example of American cruelty, denouncing Washington\u2019s silence on the daily bombardment of Yemen\u2019s infrastructures by US allies that employ American weapons.<\/p>\n
Slamming Washington\u2019s shameless move to accuse Iran of sending missiles to Yemen by displaying a missile debris at the UN, Ayatollah Khamenei wondered how it could be possible to send missiles to Yemen when the people of the country are under blockade.<\/p>\n
On December 14, US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley presented what she claimed to be “undeniable” evidence, including the allegedly recovered pieces of a Yemeni missile, saying it proved that Iran was violating international law by giving missiles to the Houthi Ansarullah movement.<\/p>\n
With allied Yemeni army troops and tribal fighters, the Houthis have been fighting back a Saudi-led aggression since March 2015.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
