Yemen Denounces Iranian Assaults on Energy Infrastructure in Saudi Arabia and GCC Nations

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates of Yemen has issued a strong condemnation of recent Iranian attempts to target oil and gas infrastructure in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states. This statement reflects Yemen’s concerns regarding the implications of such actions on regional and global stability.

In its declaration, the Yemeni ministry characterized the targeting of critical energy facilities as a blatant violation of international law. It emphasized that these attacks not only threaten the national security of GCC countries but also pose significant risks to global energy security and supply chains, potentially destabilizing the international economy.

Yemen expressed its full solidarity with Saudi Arabia and other GCC nations, affirming their right to take necessary measures to safeguard their security and sovereignty. The ministry underscored that such protective actions should align with international law and the principles outlined in the United Nations Charter.

Furthermore, the Yemeni government highlighted its own experiences with Iran’s destabilizing policies, arguing that continued leniency towards such aggressive actions could lead to prolonged crises in the region. The ministry called for the international community, particularly the United Nations Security Council, to take decisive action against Iran’s activities that threaten both regional and international peace.

The statement underscores Yemen’s position on the importance of collective security in the Gulf region and the need for a unified response to threats posed by external actors.
