A former Lebanese minister said the Saudi-led aggression against
Yemen shares many similarities with the Israeli regime’s attacks on the
Palestinians in Gaza.
“The Saudi regime’s aggression against Yemen, killing the women and
children and destruction of Yemen’s infrastructures is similar to the
Zionist regime’s aggression against Gaza and Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia
seeks to take Yemen back to decades ago,” Wiam Wahhab, also the leader
of the Lebanese Towhid Movement, told FNA on Sunday.
Yet, he stressed that Riyadh and Tel Aviv share other commonalities
as well, including their desire to destroy Syria, supporting the Takfiri
terrorism and confronting Iran which is the most important supporter of
the Lebanese and Palestinian resistance groups.
On the results of the Saudi-led military strikes against Yemen,
Wahhab said, “Undoubtedly, Saudi Arabia will experience defeat and
failure but it (the Saudi aggression) will exacerbate the sectarian and
Takfiri crisis in the region.”
In relevant remarks on Thursday, Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier
General Hossein Dehqan underlined that Washington and Tel Aviv were the
main supporters of the Saudi-led aggression against Yemen.
“Yemen is under the criminal assaults of Saudi Arabia, the US and
Israel …,” Brigadier General Dehqan said, addressing the Fourth
International Security Meeting in Moscow.
He noted that the US and Israel were trying to compensate for their
political and military defeats by waging proxy wars in the region.
Yet, the Iranian defense minister said that the US and “the Zionist
regime” as well as their regional allies had failed to achieve their
“We are witnessing the spread of the ISIL to Afghanistan and Pakistan
to join the Taliban and the Al-Qaeda that have been in those countries
since many years ago,” Brigadier General Dehqan warned, demanding
collective action to stop the spread and growth of terrorism in the
region.
The Saudi-led coalition has been striking Yemen for 25 days now to
restore power to fugitive president Mansour Hadi, a close ally of
Riyadh. The Saudi-led aggression has so far killed over 2,655 Yemenis,
including hundreds of women and children. The attacks have also left
thousands of people injured.
Hadi stepped down in January and refused to reconsider the decision
despite calls by Ansarullah revolutionaries of the Houthi movement.
Despite Riyadh’s claims that it is bombing the positions of the
Ansarullah fighters, Saudi warplanes are flattening residential areas
and civilian infrastructures.
Five Persian Gulf States — Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates
(UAE), Bahrain, Qatar and Kuwait — and Egypt that are also assisted by
Israel and backed by the US declared war on Yemen in a joint statement
issued on March 26.
