Iran repudiates allegations of arms transfer to Yemen
“Accusing Iran of sending weapons to Yemen is an insult to the people of Yemen,” Araghchi said in an interview with Yemen’s al-Masirah television channel on Monday, Press TV reported.
He added that Yemen possesses the military technology and has become capable of strengthening its arsenal.
The top Iranian diplomat emphasized that Yemen has become one of the key pillars in the Axis of Resistance and plays an exceptional role in supporting the Gaza Strip, which has been under brutal attacks of the Israeli regime over the past 11 months.
Araghchi noted that Yemen makes its own decisions about using its weapons in a way it deems suitable.
Earlier in the day, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian dismissed claims that Iran has provided Yemen with hypersonic missiles or the technology to manufacture the weaponry.
He said, “We have the missile power but we do not give missiles to Yemen. Before the war [in Gaza], Yemen had acquired the technology to manufacture missiles and was producing them.”
