Iran condemns attack on Sanaa airport as breach of international law

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran's Foreign Ministry on Friday condemned an attack on the international airport in Yemen's capital, Sanaa, calling it a clear violation of international law and the United Nations Charter. Ministry spokesman Ismail Baghaei said the strike amounted to a disregard for Yemen's sovereignty and ran counter to efforts to establish peace and stability in the country. Baghaei added that the attack was inconsistent with a 2022 ceasefire agreement and subsequent understandings aimed at preventing further escalation. He did not name the party responsible for the strike, and no immediate claim of responsibility has been reported in the available information. The spokesman reaffirmed Iran's support for regional peace and said all parties must adhere to existing agreements. No further details on casualties or damage at the airport were immediately available.
