IRGC: Yemen had been equipped with Soviet, N. Korean missiles
TEHRAN(Basirat): – The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) on Sunday condemned recent anti-Iran allegations by the U.S. envoy to the United Nations, saying Yemeni missiles have nothing to do with Iran.
Nikki Haley on Thursday claimed that Iran has violated the UN Security Council
resolutions by providing Yemen’s Houthis with missiles to target Saudi Arabia.
IRGC spokesman Brigadier General Ramazan Sharif said it is no secret to anyone
that Yemen had been equipped with missiles from the Soviet Union and North
Korea.
"The American envoy shows a tube and says there are Iranian fingerprints on it,
while it is a widely-known fact that Yemen had received cutting-edge missile
technologies from the Soviet Union and North Korea in the past,” Sharif was
quoted as saying by Tasnim news agency.
He also denounced Washington for arming Saudi Arabia, saying the kingdom has
been bombarding Yemeni people for more than two years with American weapons.
The West’s mainstream media, the general said, serves as a propaganda wing which
covers up the criminal conducts of the U.S., Europe and the terrorist groups in
the region.
They do not allow the general public to find convincing answers for their
questions, he added.
