Saudi Arabia bombs civilians after each defeat in Yemen: Iran

Iran has sharply condemned a deadly Saudi air raid against a market in the Yemeni city of Ta’izz, saying the Riyadh military resorts to the massacre of defenseless civilians whenever it suffers defeat in its aggression.

“During over a thousand days since the outset of this devastating war, Saudi Arabia has shown that whenever it faces failure and defeat in battlefields and operation zones, it retaliates by bombarding the defenseless people and killing innocent women and children,” said Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi.

Qassemi further criticized the so-called advocates of human rights for their inaction in the face of such “crazy” attacks, which are conducted by lethal American weapons.

On Tuesday, Saudi-led airstrikes killed or injured over 120 people in a market in Heime District in the southwestern province of Ta’izz.

One day earlier, over 30 people were killed in Saudi airstrikes targeting various areas Yemen, including the capital Sana’a.
