Iran Denies Links to Houthis, Accuses Israel and the US of Destabilizing the Region
Iran has strongly denied any connection to the Houthi movement in Yemen, rejecting the accusations made by Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon as "false and baseless."
In a letter addressed to the UN Secretary-General and the President of the Security Council, Iran's UN Ambassador, Amir Saeid Iravani, stated, "These allegations are entirely unfounded and part of an Israeli provocation campaign aimed at justifying its aggressive actions and destabilizing the region."
Iravani further accused "the Israeli regime and the United States" of attempting to scapegoat Iran to justify their "illegal actions and malign activities in the region." He described Israel's policies as "aggressive and destabilizing," emphasizing that Israel poses the real threat to peace and security in the region.
Defending Iran's stance, Iravani asserted that his country has always adhered to international law and Security Council resolutions. He criticized airstrikes targeting the Houthis, describing them as "acts of aggression against Yemen's sovereignty and territorial integrity," particularly those affecting civilians and critical infrastructure, including Sana’a Airport and Hudaydah Port.
He further argued that these illegal actions, carried out with direct support from the United States and the United Kingdom, constitute grave violations of the UN Charter and international law.
In contrast, Israel’s UN Ambassador Danny Danon described the Houthis as a tool in "Iran's war against peace," warning that "Israel will not stand idly by and wait for the world to act. We will take necessary steps to protect our citizens."
