Khamenei says US air strikes on Yemen ‘a crime that must be stopped’

Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Thursday that recent deadly US air strikes on the Tehran-backed Houthis in Yemen was a “crime that must be stopped”. “This attack on the people of Yemen, on Yemeni civilians, is also a crime that must be stopped,” said Mr Khamenei on X. He added that the US is a “complicit” in Gaza’s tragedy. “Once again children are being killed, homes are being destroyed, and civilians are being displaced. The freedom-seekers around the world must stop this tragedy.”
