Baqaei made the remarks on Monday a day after Israel struck various regions in Yemen, including the ports of al-Hodeidah, Ras Isa, and as-Salif, as well as the Ras Kathib power plant, in the latest act of aggression against the Arab country.
He described the repeated aggression by the Israeli regime against Yemen’s economic and public infrastructure, including ports, power plants, and food storage facilities, as a blatant crime against the Yemeni people, according to a news release by the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson’s official Telegram page.
Baqaei called on the United Nations Security Council to cease its inaction over the Israeli regime’s crimes against the people of Yemen.
The contiguous impunity enjoyed by Israel, in light of support it receives from the U.S. and some other Western countries, is the primary factor driving the regime’s aggression and atrocities against regional nations, he said.
The Iranian diplomat added that all governments in the region and beyond have a moral and legal responsibility to stand against the genocide in occupied Palestine and to hold Israeli officials accountable for the regime’s “heinous crimes.”
