Certain States’ Militarism Destabilizing Region, Says Abdollahian

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir Abdollahian blasted certain countries for waging wars and creating instability in the region.

Speaking in a meeting with a number of Jordanian media figures in Tehran on Tuesday, Amir Abdollahian criticized certain countries for bringing violence and insecurity to the region through their interferences and militarization policies.

He also condemned the military attack against the oppressed people of Yemen and destroying the country’s economic infrastructures and killing of thousands of innocent people of the Arab country.

The senior diplomat, meantime, expressed the hope that Saudi Arabia would bring to a halt its military attacks against the people of Yemen and the Arab country’s economic infrastructures.

Saudi Arabia has been bombing Yemen in the last 70 days to bring its ally, fugitive president Mansour Hadi, back to power.

The airstrikes have so far claimed the lives of more than 4,175 civilians, mostly women and children.

According to a recent report by Freedom House Foundation, most of the victims of the deadly Al Saud campaign are civilians, including a large number of women and children.

Thousands of residential buildings have been destroyed, and hundreds of civil and public facilities were reduced to rubble as a result of the bombardments by Saudi warplanes on the Yemeni cities and towns, the group said.
