Iran president rules out providing Yemen with hypersonic missiles to attack Israel

The President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian, stated that Iran does not possess the hypersonic missiles used by Yemen's Ansarullah for attacks on Israel. He explained that the Yemenis acquired this technology over time.

In his first press conference on Monday since assuming the presidency on July 30, President Pezeshkian responded to a question from an Al Jazeera reporter about Iranโ€™s role in Yemenโ€™s recent missile attack on Israel.

He said Ansarullah’s capability to carry out such attacks and acquire this technology was developed over time, which would have been impossible during Israelโ€™s one-year war on Gaza.

Pezeshkian added that Iran and Yemen are coordinated in their stance against Israel’s genocide and the killing of women and children in Gaza, sharing the same perspective and protesting against it.

He pointed to Israelโ€™s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, saying Israel is committing these crimes in front of the world, yet no one is stopping them, while the US and Europe provide Israel with missiles, bombs, and planes and defend them.

He emphasized that if Israelโ€™s security is a concern for the West, why arenโ€™t they worried about Gaza, Palestine, and the people being killed?

President Pezeshkian also mentioned Iranโ€™s relations with China, noting that Iran has had very good relations with China so far.

He highlighted Chinaโ€™s mediation between Iran and Saudi Arabia as a significant step toward regional coordination.

He stressed that the 25-year cooperation plan between Iran and China can be implemented, with the goal of accessing each otherโ€™s markets.

Elsewhere, Pezeshkian emphasized the need to lift anti-Iranian sanctions, stating that his government aims to first improve relations with neighboring countries and then with other nations.

He said his recent trip to Iraq and the Kurdistan region was based on this approach.

President Pezehskian also said that Iran has no choice but to resolve the issue of joining the FATF and that he will write to the relevant authorities to address this matter.
