Ansarullah: Washington is a major sponsor of terrorism, US Move on IRGC Favor to Israel

Yemen’s Ansarullah Movement described the US decision to blacklist the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) as a strong hostile move, stressing that Washington has done the Tel Aviv regime a service.

The decision has been adopted after Washington’s useless measures against movements in Palestine, Lebanon and Iraq which withstood the US and Israel’s domineering policies, a statement issued by the political office of the popular organozation said on Tuesday.

The movement said the US is a major sponsor of terrorism and “the Al-Qaeda, Daesh (also known as ISIL/ISIS) and other terrorist groups are an instrument in the hand of Washington in the region”.

It reveals “the US criminal thought and antagonistic policies against the Islamic movements and governments in the region and free nations across the world”, the Ansarullah said.

“The US and Israel’s history abounds with crimes and what the arrogant regimes are doing against Palestinian, Syrian, Iraqi and Venezuelan nations are reasons for their oppressive and brutal nature,” the statement added.

The statement also called on all the free nations in the world to oppose such hostile decisions and moves and counter the US and Israel’s destructive measures in Palestine, Syria, Lebanon and other regional states.

The Ansarullah movement has been defending the nation against the US-backed Saudi-led war against Yemen. Riyadh and a number of its regional allies launched a devastating campaign against Yemen in March 2015. Weddings, funerals, schools and hospitals, as well as water and electricity plants, have been targeted, killing and wounding thousands by the coalition.
