Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations has condemned the United States for its silence on the recent Israeli strike on a Yemeni port controlled by a powerful militia that targeted Tel Aviv. In a letter shared with Newsweek, Ambassador Iravani criticized the U.S. for accusing Iran of backing the Houthi movement responsible for the attack.
Iravani refuted the allegations, denouncing them as a tactic to divert focus from Israel’s actions in Gaza. He expressed disappointment in the U.S., France, and the UK for staying silent after Israel’s retaliatory strike on Hodeidah port in Yemen, highlighting the ongoing conflict in the region.
Despite denying direct support to the Houthis, Iran has expressed solidarity with the group. The escalating situation involves attacks from afar, with Iran-aligned factions conducting operations against Israel. Tensions further escalated with missile launches and counterstrikes between the parties.
These recent events have heightened tensions in the region, with Iran calling for condemnation of Israel’s actions in Yemen. The conflict showcases a complex web of geopolitical dynamics and regional power struggles.
