Iran’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Amir Saeid Iravani, firmly rejected recent US accusations against Tehran regarding its alleged role in Yemen and the Red Sea, calling the claims “baseless, false, and contrary to reality.”

In an official letter addressed to the UN Security Council, Iravani stressed that the accusations leveled by the United States lacked any factual foundation and were politically motivated.

He affirmed that the Islamic Republic of Iran remains fully committed to its international obligations and all relevant Security Council resolutions. Iran, he noted, continues to support an “inclusive and peaceful political process led by Yemenis themselves,” reaffirming Tehran’s consistent stance on non-interference in sovereign affairs.

“It is deeply regrettable,” Iravani added, “that the United States exploits the Security Council platform to deflect attention from its own destabilizing actions, including its military intervention in Yemen and its support for Israeli aggression not only in Yemen but across the entire region.”

Accusations echo previous ones

The Iranian Foreign Ministry, back in May, affirmed that the repetition of baseless accusations regarding Tehran's role in the courageous Yemeni operations taken against the Israeli aggression is an insult to the Yemeni people.

The ministry detailed that linking the Yemeni actions to Iran is a misleading claim aimed at covering up Israeli crimes and attempts to incite unrest in the region.

The statement vowed that Iran is determined to defend itself against any malicious move that threatens its national security, affirming its position in respecting the territorial integrity and sovereignty of states, and considered the US aggression against Yemen a flagrant violation.

The ministry warned that US attacks have serious repercussions on the security of the region and the Red Sea, demanding an end to the genocide in Gaza.

Operations to continue until siege is lifted

The spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, announced on Tuesday that the forces had carried out a successful drone strike on a vital Israeli military target in the southern occupied Naqab region. 

In a televised statement, Saree confirmed that an additional drone attack targeted the port of Umm al-Rashrash (also known as Eilat), emphasizing that both operations achieved their objectives with precision. 

Brigadier General Saree stressed that the operations are part of Yemen’s ongoing response to the Israeli regime’s war on Gaza, declaring that military strikes will persist until the aggression is halted and the blockade on the Palestinian people is lifted. 

"The operations are continuing as part of our religious, moral, and humanitarian duty toward the oppressed people of Gaza," Saree stated, underscoring the broader regional resistance framework. 

Yemen's armed forces have reiterated that their operations in the Red Sea are strictly directed at vessels linked to the Israeli regime or involved in the aggression on Gaza. Recent targets included the ETERNITY C, bound for Eilat, and Magic Seas, intercepted in the Red Sea.
