The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has officially refuted allegations made by the US Secretary of State regarding Tehran's alleged interference in Yemen's internal affairs. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei stated that the Ansar Allah movement is an independent force that makes its own decisions and does not act under anyone's instructions.
Previously, the US Secretary of State, while commenting on the situation in the region, characterized the Houthis as Iranian proxies. According to him, Tehran's influence can be traced in a number of events that Washington is closely monitoring, given its close defense ties with Saudi Arabia.
In response to these claims, Esmail Baghaei pointed out that the root causes of regional instability lie in Washington's policy of hegemony and military interventions. The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson stated that to establish peace, Washington must cease its "malicious actions and destructive interference" in the region's affairs.
Baghaei also emphasized that a resolution to the conflict in Yemen cannot be achieved through military pressure.
