Iran-Yemen Relations

Iran’s government spokesman says Pakistan has announced its readiness to mediate between Tehran and Riyadh, but Iran won’t act as the representative of Yemen’s Ansarullah movement in possible talks with Saudis.

Saudi Arabia along with its allies, including the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Sudan, Egypt and Morocco, began an all-out aerial campaign against Yemen called “Decisive Storm” in 2015. But it has brought nothing but a definite failure for the Saudi regime.

Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Hossein Baqeri said the country’s military officers are only offering advisory assistance to popular forces in Yemen, rejecting reports that Tehran has supplied missiles to the impoverished Arab country.

Iran has rejected again claims of involvement in Yemen's retaliatory attacks on the kingdom's heart of oil industry, saying Riyadh's offensive in Hudaydah in breach of a UN truce speaks for itself.

The September 2019 attack that cut Saudi Arabia’s oil production by up to 60% and has thrown the world into chaos was not a surprise.  The claim by US Secretary of State that “Iran did it” is no surprise as well.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani says the recent retaliatory attack by Yemen’s armed forces against the Aramco oil facilities in Saudi Arabia was a warning that should be taken seriously by Riyadh.

A senior member of the Supreme Political Council of Yemen’s Ansarullah Movement says the goal of the Yemeni army’s recent drone strike at Aramco oil facilities was to force Saudi Arabia to end the war.

Iran has rejected Mike Pompeo and Lindsey Graham’s accusations regarding the Yemeni attacks on Saudi oil facilities, saying the US’ approach towards Tehran is edging towards deception.

The spokesman for the Yemeni Ansarullah movement says the US President's claims about Iran's presence in Yemen are not true, stressing that such allegations are being made merely to blackmail Saudi Arabia.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says it is a duty to support the people of Yemen as they will be the ultimate winners of the war imposed on them by the Saudi-led coalition.

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Seyyed Abbas Mousavi has strongly denounced the Saudi-led coalition’s bombardment of residential areas in the Yemeni capital of Sana’a, which left dozens of civilians including women and children dead or wounded.
