DM Rejects Allegations of Missile Supply to Yemen

"While Yemen is under a tight siege and dispatch of medicine and foodstuff to the country is prevented, supply of weapons and missile to Yemen is not possible at all and the Americans and their allies' allegations are actually aimed at derailing the world public opinion from these crimes," General Hatami said in a meeting with Dutch Ambassador to Iran Susana Trestal in Tehran on Tuesday.
He also called on the Netherlands as a nonpermanent member of the UN Security Council and other UNSC members to prevent massacre of women, children and other innocent Yemeni people by the Saudi-led coalition.
In relevant remarks on Monday, the Iranian foreign ministry strongly rejected the Saudi officials' allegations that Tehran has supplied Yemen with missiles and weapons, stressing that such remarks are made out of desperation.
"The remarks uttered by some Saudi officials is very much telling the Saudi government's desperation for any fair political analyst," Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said.
He added that when Riyadh and its allies, including the UAE, started the war against Yemen, they thought that they can attain their goal of occupation of the poor Arab country but "after nearly three years, we are witnessing that Saudi Arabia has sunk in the quagmire and its dreams have not come true".
Qassemi referred to the siege laid on Yemen by the Saudi-led coalition which even prevents dispatch of foodstuff and humanitarian aide to the Yemeni people, and said, "I state clearly that we have not sent any weapons to Yemen and Yemen has had many weapons and missiles since far past and the Soviet-era."
