Iran Condemns Terrorist Attacks in Yemeni Capital

Iran has condemned the terrorist bomb attacks that hit mosques crowded with worshippers in the Yemen’s capital, Sana’a, warning against plots by enemies to incite insecurity and instability in the country.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham said that at a time that Yemen needs stability and peace “more than ever,” its enemies intend to achieve their vicious objectives by creating insecurity and instability through such terrorist acts.

She expressed hope that everyone in Yemen, from the ordinary people to political parties, would manage to restore peace and stability to the country through vigilance, political participation and continued dialog.

Three bomb attacks were carried out at two mosques in Sana’a on Friday. At least 142 people were killed and 351 suffered injuries in the blasts targeting Badr and al-Hashoosh mosques.

A branch of the ISIL terrorist group in Yemen claimed responsibility for the bombings in an online statement, warning that the attacks were “just the tip of the iceberg.”

Iran ready to dispatch medical team to Sana’a – Abdollahian

Meanwhile, a senior Iranian official says the Islamic Republic is ready to dispatch a medical team to Yemen to treat those wounded in recent deadly bomb attacks in the Yemeni capital, Sana’a.

Early on Saturday, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian condemned the terrorist bomb attacks that hit two mosques packed with worshippers in Sana’a, saying that Tehran is ready to treat the wounded as soon as possible.

 “A team of volunteer veteran Iranian surgeons is prepared to be dispatched to Sana’a to treat the wounded at the site [of the incident],” the Iranian diplomat added.

 “The team is set to enter Sana’a or to treat the wounded in Iran as soon as Yemeni officials agree,” Amir-Abdollahian said.
