Mohammad Ali Jafari lashes out at Saudis for continued military campaign against Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen.
Saudi Arabia is a betrayer who is “following in the footsteps of Israel and the Zionists,” the commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said Monday.
Maj.-Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari’s comments came amid the Saudi-led coalition’s military campaign against Iranian- backed Shi’ite Houthi rebels who are trying to take over Yemen.
“Today, Saudi Arabia is brazenly and obnoxiously bombarding and massacring a nation, which is seeking the denial of the hegemonic system,” Press TV quoted Jafari as saying.
Air raids, naval shelling and ground fighting shook Yemen on Sunday in some of the most widespread combat since the Saudi-led alliance intervened last month against the Houthis who have seized large tracts of the country.
The strikes on Sanaa were the first since the Saudi-led coalition said last week it was scaling back a campaign against the Houthis. But the air raids soon resumed as the Houthis’ nationwide gains had not been notably rolled back, and there has been no visible progress toward peace talks.
Jafari called on Iran’s leadership to confront the Saudis for their continued campaign in Yemen.
“Now that the attacks have been launched, no considerations should be shown.”

Perhaps that is because it isn’t a Jewish thing but is instead a hating terrorism thing?
boy I’ve seen paper tigers before, but Iran is the paperiest tiger I’ve ever seen lol. couldn’t defeat Iraq in 10 years. Couldn’t help Iraq take tikrit without American support.
but obummer and skerry will give them the great power that comes with a nuke.
Don’t be so sure. They might not win a war but the damage that they could cause could be devastating.
hmm interesting take.
Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. The Saudis love terrorists. They finance a lot of it. They only hate terrorists on their doorstep, threatening them personally, such as the Houthi. So let them kill off the Houthis and allow Israel fly over them to bomb Iraqi reactor sites. Then they can get back to financing the PLO like good little evil pig f@#$ers.
Oops. Iranian reactor sites, I meant.
