TEHRAN -- Iran has strongly condemned the new U.S. and UK aggression in Yemen’s three provinces as part of their support for Israel which is the target of retaliatory strikes by resistance forces in the region.  
U.S. and British airstrikes targeted the districts of Jarban, Luhayyah, and Harf Sufyan in Sana’a as well as Hudaydah, and Amran provinces on Thursday.
On Friday, Israel and the U.S. attacked several areas in the Yemeni capital, including near Al-Sabeen Square, where crowds had gathered for Friday’s million- man march.
The city of Hudaydah and its port also came under attack.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said the criminal acts cannot weaken the determination of the heroic people of Yemen in their support for the oppressed people of Palestine.
“The repeated aggressions by the U.S. and UK against Yemeni infrastructures are committed with the aim of supporting the criminal Zionist regime and in line with the continued genocide committed by the fake regime against the oppressed Palestinians,” he said.
He called the attacks a flagrant violation of the international law and principles of the United Nations Charter.
The spokesman said the attacks are a clear example of the “crime of aggression” according to the statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Baghaei censured the UN Security Council for failing to act in the face of the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the military aggressions of the U.S., UK and the Zionist regime against the vital infrastructures of Yemen.
He called on the international community, especially Islamic and regional countries, to stop genocide and aggression of the Zionist regime and its allies against different nations in the region.
The U.S. and its allies have been bombing Yemen over the past months in violation of the country’s sovereignty and international law.
Yemeni armed forces have targeted ships heading to the Israeli occupied territories in the southern Red Sea, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the Gulf of Aden, and even in the Arabian Sea. 
They have also conducted strikes against Israeli targets in the occupied lands.
The Yemeni forces have stressed that they will continue their anti-Israel operations until the occupying regime ends its bloody Gaza onslaught.
