Yemen condemns US sanctions against Iran envoy

Foreign Affairs Ministry of Yemeni National Salvation Government issued a statement on the provocative and blatant sanctions decision against the Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to Yemen, Hassan Irloo, SABA reported.

The statement indicated that the American position reflects the moral crisis that the White House administration suffers from, which blatantly reflects the seriousness of the position reached by this administration.

It referred to the massive bankruptcy that the US administration is carrying out due to its permanent bias towards corrupt and oppressive regimes, and its relentless and continuous endeavor to destroy the hopes and aspirations of free peoples.

It stated that the American ambassador only represents the hateful American administration that rejected by the Yemeni people and he does not represent the American people, as this administration practices and commits the most heinous crimes against the children and women of Yemen and has stood and still stands behind the suffering of the Yemeni people.

It stressed the Iranian ambassador and other diplomatic and humanitarian workers of various nationalities in Yemen are in fact guests of the country and Yemeni people, and that any insults or else on the guests of Yemen are a provocative act of the feelings of all Yemenis.

It also called on Washington to stop its hostile policies towards Yemen in particular and the Arab and Islamic countries in general and not to intervene in Yemen's sovereignty and independence.
