The Republic of Yemen has issued a strong condemnation of recent Iranian attacks targeting Saudi Arabia, labeling them as blatant violations of sovereignty and unacceptable assaults on the kingdom’s security and stability. This statement comes amid heightened tensions in the region, with Yemen describing the attacks as a dangerous escalation that poses a threat to regional peace.
In a statement released on Saturday, the Yemeni government expressed unwavering solidarity with Saudi Arabia and its citizens. It emphasized that the security of Saudi Arabia is intrinsically linked to Yemen’s own national security, asserting that any infringement on Saudi sovereignty is a direct threat to Yemen and the broader Arab system.
The Yemeni government criticized Iran’s actions, characterizing them as part of a broader strategy to export crises and escalate confrontations through aggressive policies and armed proxies. This approach, according to Yemen, destabilizes regional security and undermines international stability, while also threatening vital waterways and global energy supplies.
Furthermore, Yemen held the Iranian regime accountable for the escalation and any resulting consequences, warning that continued interference in regional affairs would lead to further instability and international isolation for Iran. The Yemeni government reiterated its full support for Saudi Arabia’s measures to protect its security and the rights to deter aggression in accordance with international law.
In light of these developments, Yemen has called on the international community to take a firm stance against these serious violations and to work towards deterring actions that could lead to a wider confrontation, which could have catastrophic implications for both the region and the world.
