Iran: Saudi intervention in Yemen will not go without a response

Monday April 27, 2015

A senior Iranian official has warned that Saudi Arabia's military intervention in Yemen will not go without a response.

"Saudi Arabia's behaviour in besieging Yemen and preventing the delivery of humanitarian aid will not remain unanswered", Hossein Amir Abdollahian, Iran's deputy foreign minister for Arab and African affairs, said on Sunday.

"We are considering all options for helping the Yemeni people, the immediate delivery of humanitarian assistance and transfer of the injured Yemenis," Abdollahian added.

Iran's Fars news agency reported Abdollahian as saying that Saudi Arabia does not have the right to decide the fate of others on their behalf, noting that the Saudi military intervention in Bahrain resulted in hundreds of deaths and injuries and led to "a deep rift between the government and the people and created instability in the country which continues until today".
