Attack in Yemen Will Not Bring Honor: Rouhani
KABUL: (Middle East Press) Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani said the military aggression against civilians in Yemen will not bring honor to the aggressors.
Rouhani added following a special ceremony to mark National Army Day in Tehran on Saturday that Iran’s powerful Armed Forces seek to start peace and security and protect the insecure civilians.
“Others must learn from Iran’s Army and do not seek a plot in the region and do not attack innocent children and elderly women and men in Yemen,” Rouhani further added.
“Why do the aggressors not extend a hand of friendship and compromise to other nations? What is the point in sending financial and arms aid to terrorists in Syria, Lebanon and Iraq? What is the point in the bombardment of the oppressed and innocent people in Yemen?” the Iranian president asked.
He said the airstrikes against the Yemeni people created a complaint among regional nations, emphasizing that the invaders would definitely receive a response for their actions.
Saudi Arabia began its deadly aggression against Yemen on March 26 leaving over 2.600 people dead and 5,000 others injured.
He emphasized that the presence of Iran’s Navy in the high seas is not a cause for concern to any regional country.
“Our doctrine is not a military and war doctrine but [is] a defense doctrine. Our strategy is always an active deterrent strategy; deterrence to establish peace and security in our country and also in regional states,” Rouhani stated.
