News - Middle East: The Yemeni Shura Council strongly condemned the blatant American aggression that targeted the Islamic Republic of Iran in the early hours of Sunday.

In a statement, the Council described the cowardly US strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities as a blatant violation of Iran’s sovereignty and international law, and a dangerous turning point that threatens regional and global peace and security.

The statement noted that the American aggression against Iran is not an isolated incident, but part of a broader criminal Zionist scheme—unconditionally supported by Washington—aimed at violating the region, plundering the wealth of its peoples, and keeping them in a state of weakness and dependency.

The Council affirmed its full solidarity with Iran and its legitimate right to respond and deter the bullying aggression of the US and Zionist regimes, and their continued crimes against the Iranian people and violations of Iranian sovereignty, especially in light of Iran’s supportive stance towards the Palestinian people and their just cause.

The Council also welcomed the announcement by the Yemeni Armed Forces regarding their readiness to target American ships and warships in the Red Sea in support of Iran in confronting US aggression.

Furthermore, the Shura Council expressed its support for the choices of the revolutionary leadership, the Supreme Political Council, and the armed forces, in line with Yemen’s firm religious and moral stance rejecting Zionist aggression against Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, or any other Arab or Islamic country targeted by American-Zionist hostility.

The Council called on Arab and Islamic peoples to express their anger and rejection of American-Zionist arrogance and tyranny, and to stand united in confronting this aggression, stressing that the target is not only Iran and Palestine, but all countries and peoples of the region.

Tensions in the region have escalated sharply following coordinated US-Israeli attacks on Iran's nuclear sites. US President Donald Trump publicly claimed responsibility for the strikes, declaring them a direct hit on facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. Iran, however, reported minimal damage and stated that the sites had been evacuated in advance.

This aggression follows weeks of Israeli military escalation and warnings from Iran and its allies—including Yemen—that any attack would trigger a regional response. The Yemeni Armed Forces have reiterated their readiness to target US military assets in the Red Sea if the aggression against Iran continues, framing the conflict as part of a broader Zionist-American effort to dominate the region and suppress resistance movements.
