Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations criticized the United States for remaining silent on a recent Israeli strike against a port in Yemen held by the Houthi movement. U.S. representative Robert Wood accused Iran of backing the Houthi drone attack on Tel Aviv, but Iran denied these claims, attributing them to divert attention from Israel’s actions. Iran accused the U.S., France, and the U.K. of remaining silent on the Israeli strike on Yemen’s Hodeidah port in response to the Tel Aviv attack.
Iran has denied directly supplying weapons to the Houthi movement in Yemen but has supported their actions against Israel. The Houthi movement has conducted numerous attacks on Israel from Yemen using missiles and drones. Israel has intercepted most of these attacks, but one recent drone strike resulted in casualties in Tel Aviv. In response, Israel targeted the Hodeidah port in Yemen, causing a massive fire at an oil storage facility. Israeli officials claimed the port was used to transfer Iranian weapons, justifying the strikes as self-defense against terrorist activities.
The Houthi movement threatened retaliation against Israel for the attacks on Hodeidah. Iran condemned Israel’s actions as violations of international law and called for the U.N. Security Council to condemn Israel for the strike. The conflict in Yemen has exacerbated the humanitarian crisis in the country, with the Hodeidah port being a critical entry point for essential goods and humanitarian assistance. The ongoing violence in the region has further worsened the situation in Yemen, which continues to suffer from famine, disease, and poverty.
Iran’s support for the Houthi movement in Yemen has been a source of contention, with accusations of Iranian backing for the group’s attacks on Israel. The conflict between Israel and the Houthi movement has escalated, with both sides engaging in retaliatory strikes. Iran has praised the Houthi movement’s actions as part of the Axis of Resistance against Israel, while Israel views them as acts of terrorism. The situation has led to increased tensions in the region, with multiple fronts opening up in the conflict between Iran and Israel.
The U.N. Security Council has been called upon to address the escalating conflict between Israel and the Houthi movement in Yemen. Iran has rejected allegations of supporting terrorism and violating international law, while Israel has defended its actions as necessary to protect its security. The ongoing violence in the region has raised concerns about the impact on the civilian population in Yemen and the broader implications for regional stability. The conflict continues to evolve, with threats of further retaliation and calls for international intervention to address the crisis.
