Iran rejects Saudi accusation over Yemen
2017-11-01
[DAWN] Tehran on Monday rejected as "ridiculous and baseless" accusations by Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
that Iran was supporting rebels and blocking peace efforts in Yemen.

"The Saudi foreign minister’s claims that our country has been blocking peace efforts in Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic...
are ridiculous and baseless," foreign ministry front man Bahram Ghasemi said.

"Iran has condemned the aggression (against Yemen) since the beginning...and will not spare any efforts to stop this bloody and detestable war," Mr Ghasemi said in a statement published on the ministry’s website.

Both sides in the Yemen conflict have come under harsh criticism for their neglect of civilian safety.

"Repeating such false accusations will not reduce the responsibility... of those who have committed heinous crimes, particularly murder, destruction of schools and hospitals and pushing an innocent population to famine," Mr Ghasemi said.
