Israel launches airstrikes on Yemen
No future envisaged for Israel in region: Iran’s FM
The Israeli military launched new air strikes on Yemen on Sunday as it continues to expand its war in the region.
The Israeli occupation army confirmed that it attacked the Yemeni port city of Hodeidah, saying, “Dozens of air force aircraft” were used in the attacks.
The strikes came a day after Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance group said it targeted Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport with a missile.
In July, Israel also hit Hodeida port, causing what a port official said was at least $20 million in damage, after an Ansarullah drone strike penetrated Israel’s air defenses and killed a civilian in Tel Aviv.
The strikes came after the regime intensified its attacks on Lebanon, killing more than 1,600 people, including the leader of Hezbollah resistance movement Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.
The Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said Israel’s assassination of Nasrallah will accelerate the regime’s decline and leave it with no future in region.
“Definitely, this martyrdom is a great loss, but it will not cause any disruption in the resilience,” he added.
“With what it did in Gaza and then in Lebanon, the Zionist regime will certainly have no future in the region. It will never see peace. The natural outcome … is the acceleration of the Zionist regime’s collapse.”
Araghchi also noted that Iran views the United States as a “partner” in the Israeli crime, expressing dismay at the UN Security Council’s inability to resolve current problems.
Meanwhile, the commander of IRGC’s Quds Force said Iran will stand by Hezbollah until the liberation of the occupied al-Quds.
“God willing, we will remain by your side in continuing [Nasrallah’s] path until the conquest of Palestine and the liberation of Jerusalem,” IRNA quoted Esmail Qa’ani as saying in a statement.
On Friday, Israel assassinated Nasrallah in the southern Beirut suburb of Zahiyeh at the culmination of its intensified acts of terror and aggression in Lebanon over the past two weeks.
Hezbollah and Israel have been exchanging deadly fire since early October, shortly after the regime launched a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip which has claimed the lives of more than 41,000 Palestinians in nearly one year.
