Iran Warns against Blocking Yemen Aid, Says US Supporting Genocide

Iran warned the United States and Wahabi/ Saudi Arabia against blocking aid to Yemen, stressing that Washington is an accomplice in the genocide committed in the Arab impoverished state.
Defense Ministry issued a statement on Wednesday saying the US and Al Saud “should bear consequences of any provocative action and evil adventurism on the path of sending help to the Yemeni people.”
The ministry also denounced the US complicity in the “genocide” committed in Yemen.
“By supporting the genocide in Yemen, the US is an accomplice of the war criminals,” the statement read, adding that the shipment of aid from Iran to the war-torn country meant to “relieve the suffering” of the people in the Arab world’s poorest country.
The US is losing its image in Yemen and the rest of the region by backing “infanticide regimes” such as Saudi Arabia and Israel, it added.
Iran’s Nejat (Rescue) cargo ship, containing 2,500 tons of much-needed aid, including food, medical supplies and tents, left the southern Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas for Yemen on Monday and is heading for the impoverished country.
Meanwhile, US State Department spokesman Jeff Rathke has acknowledged that Washington was pursuing a double standard policy towards dispatching humanitarian aid to the world’s disputed areas including Yemen.
