Iran Condemns US Terror Label on Ansarallah Amidst Yemeni Solidarity for Palestine
The recent decision by the United States to label Yemen’s Ansarallah Movement as a foreign terrorist organization has sparked significant controversy. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei has firmly condemned this action, characterizing it as “unjustified, baseless, and contrary to international law.” This designation raises serious concerns regarding the implications for the Yemeni population and the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the region.
In a statement on Thursday, Baghaei expressed strong disapproval of the US State Department’s classification of the Yemeni people and the Houthi group as terrorists. He argued that this move serves as a justification for inhumane sanctions against Yemen, further exacerbating the already dire situation faced by its citizens.
Key points raised by Baghaei include:
- The timing of the American designation follows the Yemeni nation’s support for the Palestinian people during the recent Gaza conflict, which has tragically resulted in the loss of nearly 47,000 Palestinian lives.
- Baghaei emphasized the solidarity shown by the Yemeni people towards the suffering Palestinians, particularly against the backdrop of Israeli aggression.
- He criticized the unilateral actions of the US, arguing that they undermine the rule of law and pose a threat to regional peace and stability.
This situation highlights the complex interplay of geopolitics and humanitarian issues in the region, with significant repercussions for both Yemen and its allies.
