The head of Iranian volunteer Basij forces said that Yemeni people’s resistance against the Saudi aggression will live on in history.
During the International Conference on Supporting the Oppressed and Resistant Yemenis hosted by Tehran, Brigadier-General Gholam-Hossein Gheibparvar said that Iran, as a nation that has itself suffered from US mischief economic blockade and war, understands the ordeals of the Yemeni people.
Referring to the remarkable the Yemeni forces have been showing in Hudaydah, Gheibparvar said, “What is taking place in Yemen is a lesson of withstanding. All [enemies] have gathered in Hodeida, but people have been standing against them with empty hands.”
“We have learned that where there is resistance, there is also victory,” said the military official. “The Saudi rulers have not achieved dignity, but have brought themselves eternal humiliation.”
For his part, the second-in-command of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) also delivered a speech to the event. He said the problems in the Muslim world are rooted in the interrelated policies of the US and Britain as well as the Zionist and Al Saud regimes.
Brigadier General Hossein Salami said that Washington “believes it cannot act as the world’s superpower without political and cultural dominance on the Muslim world.”
However, faced with a wave of Islamic awakening in the world, the US failed to make that “dangerous dream” come true, the commander added.
“The Americans are bent on destroying nations. They are after splitting Islamic nations,” Salami said, stressing that Muslim nations are today at the forefront of the resistance campaign against the US.
Salami rejected long-running US and Saudi claims that Iran was sending arms to Yemeni forces.
“US President (Donald Trump) said Iran was to blame for the situation in Yemen. We, however, say ‘you and the Saudis are blocking the entry of food and medicine in Yemen. How is it that you are allowing missile in there?”
“How do you put the blame [for missile shipment to Yemen] on Iran, while you have closed all the borders? Imagine that Iran provides the Yemenis with political and spiritual support. Could that serve as a good reason for to impose a siege on them and massacre them?” asked the senior general.
Salamai also warned the European nations against selling arms to the Saudi regime, saying those arms only lead to the deaths of civilians in Yemen.
“Yemen will turn into a quagmire for the Al Saud regime and the US,” the general emphasized. “The logic of resistance is growing and be sure that the Islamic Ummah stands united.”
