Iran condemns the Saudi airstrikes on Yemen as war crimes, calls for an immediate end to the attacks and the blockade.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry condemned Saudi Arabia's continued attacks on Yemen as a violation of its sovereignty and territorial integrity, along with the economic and aerial blockade, as contrary to international law and Islamic teachings.
The ministry cited Saudi airstrikes on Bataiz market and residential areas east of Sana'a, which it said killed 56 Yemenis, including 13 children, and injured dozens more.
She also condemned the attack on Al-Masra journalists while they were working, and described the attacks as a "clear violation of Article 4 of the UN Charter" and of basic human rights principles, which constitute a "war crime."
Iran emphasized that the conflict must be resolved through "dialogue and negotiations" based on an agreed road map, which calls for an immediate cessation of military attacks, a complete lifting of the blockade and respect for the Yemeni people's right to self-determination.
