Iran has responded to US President Donald Trump's warning that Tehran must end its support for the Houthis in Yemen.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on social media on Sunday that the US government has no authority to dictate Iranian foreign policy, and it must stop killing Yemeni people.

The spokesperson for Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Esmail Baqaei, said in a statement released on Sunday that the brutal airstrikes by the United States had resulted in the martyrdom and injury of dozens of people, including a number of innocent Yemeni women and children.

He said the US military aggression is a gross violation of the principles of the United Nations Charter and the fundamental rules of international law regarding the prohibition of the use of force and respect for the national sovereignty of countries.

a “warning” is NOT a “dictation” of Iranian foreign policy.

[VRW Conspirator]

Nuke em from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

[ClearCase_guy]

There must be some US judge in RI who disagrees.

[coloradan]

The US has no authority to dictate Iranian foreign policy ... and Iran has no ability to alter the impact time(s) and location(s) of JDAMs and MOABs.

[EandH Dad]

” Iran has no ability to alter the impact time”

What if they say “Gimme your best shot”?

True, but we don’t have to wait until they drop an A-bomb on us.

True, do want you want and FAFO. Ask the illegal aliens how that is working out.

These animals understand only one thing, force.

including a number of innocent Yemeni women and children.

How are they "innocent?"

[Cincinnatus.45-70]

He’s correct. They can have all the policies they want. US missiles CAN dictate whether or how they act on their policies, however.

I guess saying this makes him feel big and important. Talk away, big boy.

[Joe Boucher]

Please Israel,
Nuke Iran.

[bobbo666]

Well, in the same manner as the 70% of gazans who kept hamas in power.

Uhh, NOT. They are complicit.

[Wuli]

Note to the stupid Mullahs in Tehran:

To objecct to your foreign policies is not a matter of dictating different policies to you. It is only an attempt to get you to see there are consequences to your foreign policies we object to. That’s all. The choices ARE yours.

[aquila48]

Right??

I guess he’s never heard that might makes right.

Change the word right to might in his sentence and suddenly what he says is not true.
