The spokesperson for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Esmaeil Baghaei, condemned on Thursday the "baseless and unfounded accusations" made by media outlets against Iran regarding its alleged involvement in Syria's internal affairs and the protests that erupted after a sacred site was desecrated.

Baghaei reiterated Iran's consistent stance on Syria, which is to support Syrian territorial integrity, "establish an inclusive political system with the participation of all political parties, respect the rights of minorities, and preserve the sanctity of holy sites."

He stressed the importance of ensuring security for all segments of the Syrian population, "and preventing the escalation of unrest and violence in Syria."

Additionally, Iran's Foreign Ministry condemned the Israeli occupation's strikes on Yemen earlier today,  calling them a "violation" and an "undeniable crime".

"These aggressions are a clear violation of international peace and security and an undeniable crime against the heroic and noble people of Yemen, who have not spared any effort to support the oppressed people of Palestine against the occupation and genocide," Baghaei said.

A source told Al Mayadeen on Thursday that the Israeli aggression on Sanaa and Hodeidah targeted civilian facilities and was carried out with the US and UK's coordination and support. 

The source also said that targeting civilian facilities is evidence of the occupation's failure to have a clear target list within the country, stressing that this "will not change the course of the war and will be met with a similar response."

Al Mayadeen's correspondent, in turn, also confirmed that the Israeli occupation's aggression targeted a gathering of travelers, including patients, at the Sanaa International Airport terminal, and also targeted airport control towers.

Significantly, sources told Al Mayadeen, that the Israeli aggression on Sanaa International Airport took place during the presence of two UN personnel in the airport: the WHO's Director and the UN's resident coordinator.

Moreover, the sources reported that the UN airplane's co-captain had been injured and was transported to a hospital after the Israeli aggression on the airport, adding that two other airport employees were also killed as a result of the attack.

The source emphasized that the Israeli entity should "not lie in wait for a response from Sanaa because its military operations will continue."

Al Mayadeen's correspondent then added that the Israeli airstrikes hit Sanaa International Airport in the northern part of the capital, as well as two airstrikes on the Hiziz Central Power Plant south of Sanaa.

The correspondent further noted power outages in parts of Hodeidah Province due to the Israeli attack on the Ras Kathib Central Power Plant in the northern part of the coastal city on the Red Sea in western Yemen.

Additionally, our correspondent underscored that the Israeli occupation's aggression on Hodeidah was executed with the US Navy's participation through their warships.
