The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned Saudi Arabia's "military aggression" in Yemen, calling for an immediate halt to military attacks, a full lifting of the blockade, and respect for the Yemeni people's right to self-determination. The Iranian Foreign Ministry also condemned airstrikes targeting civilian infrastructure and residential areas, including a market attack in Yemen's Taiz that resulted in the deaths of dozens of civilians. Previously, the Houthis and the Yemeni government—backed by the Saudi-led coalition—had blamed each other for orchestrating the attack.
