Iran describes attack on Yemen as strategic mistake

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said the United States and the United Kingdom made a "strategic mistake" with a military attack on Yemen.

"The decision by the United States and the United Kingdom to jointly attack areas in Yemen poses threats to regional peace and security, and expands the scope of war,” Amir-Abdollahian said.

He also stressed the importance of maritime security.

"We all consider maritime safety and security to be vital for global trade and energy security. However, security is an interconnected concept," Abdollahian said.
