The Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Hossein Amir Abdollohian, stressed on Tuesday that Yemen's Houthis will not cease attacks on Israeli ships in the Red Sea as long as the Western siege of their country and the genocide in the Gaza Strip by the Zionist regime of Israel continue.

In this regard, the Iranian Foreign Minister reiterated that the cessation of the war will depend on stopping Israel's criminality. As long as “the war and genocide against Gaza continue, (...) they will stop boat traffic,” he emphasized

The minister urged the United States (USA) and the United Kingdom to “stop the war against Yemen immediately”, since “the solution will never be military”, referring to the attacks launched by Washington and London against Houthi positions.

“The White House cannot talk about its desire not to expand the war in the region and send a message to us and others, but at the same time to expand the war on the Red Sea against Yemen,” said Amir Abdollohian.
