Foreign ministers of Iran, Oman discuss US ‘criminal’ overnight airstrikes on Yemen
The foreign ministers of Iran and Oman have discussed the latest developments in the region, particularly Washington's “criminal” aggression against Yemen in support of Israel.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi paid a short visit to Muscat on Sunday, leading a delegation and held talks with his Omani counterpart, Sayyid Badr Hamad Al Busaidi.
The visit comes a day after American and British warplanes launched large-scale airstrikes on several sites in Yemen’s capital, Sana’a, as well as on areas in the northern province of Sa’ada, the central province of al-Bayda, and the southwestern province of Dhamar.
The Yemeni health ministry said at least 31 people were killed, and 101 others were injured in the strikes.
The large-scale aerial attacks, which began on Saturday and continued into the early hours of Sunday, came after the Yemeni Armed Forces threatened to resume their retaliatory operations against the Israeli-linked ships in the Red Sea over the Tel Aviv regime’s blockade on Gaza.
Yemen’s Supreme Political Council on Sunday condemned the deadly US aggression, pledging that the nation will punish the criminal regime in a “painful” manner.
The council said that targeting civilians proves the US's failure in confrontation, adding that the aggression will not deter Yemenis from supporting Gaza but will instead escalate tensions.
Araghchi and Al Busaidi also exchanged views about means of enhancing bilateral cooperation in various fields.
The top Iranian and Omani diplomats stressed the importance of preparing the conditions that support diplomatic solutions and using channels of dialogue and peaceful means to deescalate tensions.
