Iran Denounces US Attacks on Yemen as ‘War Crime’ Amid Global Silence

The recent airstrikes by the United States in Yemen have sparked outrage, particularly among foreign officials. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei has strongly condemned these deadly strikes, which targeted areas, including a detention center for African migrants.

In a statement released on Monday, Baqaei highlighted the severity of the situation, stating that the ongoing US military attacks on civilian targets, crucial infrastructures, and residential areas in Yemen have resulted in the deaths of hundreds of innocent individuals. He characterized these actions as “war crimes.”

Key points from Baqaei’s statement include:

  • Condemnation of US military actions against civilian targets.
  • Criticism of the United Nations and human rights organizations for their silence.
  • Assertion that these attacks violate Yemen’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Tragically, nearly 70 inmates lost their lives, and over 50 others sustained injuries—many of them critically—due to a US airstrike on a detention center for African migrants in Sa’ada province on Monday. This incident has raised serious concerns regarding the impact of military operations on civilian populations.

Baqaei’s remarks underscore the urgent need for accountability in international military actions, especially in conflict zones like Yemen. The international community is called upon to address these violations and protect human rights.
