Iran condemns U.S. airstrikes against Yemen

Tehran, Mar 16 (UNI) Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei on Sunday strongly condemned the deadly U.S. airstrikes across Yemen on Saturday night.
The airstrikes targeted Houthi sites across Yemen, including the capital Sanna, killing at least 31 people and injuring more than 100, the al-Masirah TV cited the Houthi-run health ministry as saying.
Baghaei said the airstrikes were a "military aggression" that targets "Yemen's resistant people," and were in "flagrant violation" of the principles of the United Nations Charter and international law.
U.S. President Donald Trump said the airstrikes are also sending a message to Iran that its support for the Houthis must end immediately. "Do NOT threaten the American People, their President ... or Worldwide shipping lanes. If you do, BEWARE, because America will hold you fully accountable and, we won't be nice about it," read a post on Trump's Truth Social account.
On Tuesday, the Houthi group announced that it would resume launching attacks against any Israeli ship in the Red Sea, Arabian Sea, the Gulf of Aden and the Bab al-Mandab Strait until the Gaza Strip's crossings are reopened and aid allowed in.
From November 2023 to Jan. 19, the Houthi group launched dozens of drone and rocket attacks against Israel-linked ships and Israeli cities, to show solidarity with Palestinians amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. The attacks later expanded to include U.S. and British ships after the U.S.-British navy coalition started to intervene, launching air raids and missile strikes against Houthi targets to deter the group.
The Houthis stopped their attacks on Jan. 19, when the Gaza ceasefire deal took effect.
