Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has expressed solidarity with the people of Yemen following the US’s deadly bombardment of their country, reports Al Jazeera.
“The nation of #Yemen is definitely victorious. The only path is that of resistance,” he wrote in a post on X.
“That which has caused the US and its allies to panic today is the fact that the Muslim nations are standing firmly and that this resistance will prove to be effective.”
Meanwhile, Yemen’s Supreme Political Council has condemned the deadly US aggression against the country in support of Israel, pledging that the nation will punish the criminal regime in a “painful” manner.
It made the announcement on Sunday, a day after the US carried out large-scale military strikes on the Yemeni capital of Sana'a and the provinces of Sa’ada, Dhamar, Hajjah, and al-Bayda.
At least 31 people, mostly women and children, were killed in the aerial and naval attacks ordered by US President Donald Trump.
The Supreme Political Council said that targeting civilians proves the US's failure in confrontation, adding that the aggression will not deter Yemenis from supporting Gaza but will instead escalate tensions.
“The punishment of the aggressors against Yemen will be carried out professionally and painfully, by the will of God,” it warned.
It also noted that the airstrikes on Yemen mark a return to the militarization of the Red Sea, posing a real threat to international navigation in the region.
The US, along with the Zionist entity, will fail and retreat in disgrace and defeat, just as they did during their genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, it noted.
