Senior Iranian MP Raps S. Arabia's Invasion of Yemen
TEHRAN (FNA)- Head of the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi lashed out at Saudi Arabia for invading Yemen and collaborating with the Yemeni security forces in massacring peaceful protestors, and warned about the dire consequences of such irrational moves.
"Reactions to this measure will be directed to the Saudis and they will suffer the resultant harms and damages," Boroujerdi told FNA on Tuesday, reminding that the deployment of the Saudi forces in Yemen is the second invasion of a Muslim country by Riyadh.
"Yemen is considered as an independent state at the UN and its internal developments are related to its people," he added.
Boroujerdi warned about the consequences of any foreign interference in Yemen's affairs, and said, "Saudi Arabia should no more defame itself in the region and (it should not) attract the hatred of the public opinion in the region."
Earlier reports revealed on Monday that remnants of the former Yemeni regime are using hi-tech Israel weapons to kill protestors in the country, adding that the highly destructive weapons are purchased and supplied to the Yemeni military by the Saudi regime.
"The form and shape of injuries (in the bodies of the martyred protestors) indicate that the weapons used in the suppression of the revolutionary Yemeni demonstrators are Israeli made and use two-staged bullets which have been recently purchased by the Saudi regime and delivered to Yemen's Presidential Guard," Retired Colonel Abdolfattah bin Jobayr, an ammo expert, told FNA on Monday.
Different world countries have condemned the Yemeni security forces brutal crackdown on anti-government protesters.
Yemeni people poured to the streets of the country on Sunday to stage rallies against the remnants of Ali Abdullah Saleh's regime, asking them to leave power.
Yemeni government forces opened fire with anti-aircraft guns and automatic weapons on protesters in the capital Sana'a, killing at least tens of people.
Saleh remains in Saudi Arabia, where he fled to for medical treatment following a rocket attack on the Yemeni presidential palace in the Yemeni capital Sana'a on June 3.
The Yemeni opposition says Washington and Riyadh are responsible for the current stalemate in the country, stressing that the US and Saudi Arabia have blocked the path of the Yemeni revolutionary forces to victory.
"Saudi Arabia and the US are the main reason why the Yemeni revolution has prolonged and been unable to yield its results yet," Ali al-Saqqaf, a senior member of Shabab al-Sammoud, a coalition of young revolutionary groups, told FNA.
"Saudi Arabia is totally against the victory and triumph of the Arab revolutions unless these revolutions serve the interests of Riyadh and its American and western masters. That is why they are providing a safe haven for ousted dictators and leaders," Saqqaf added.
"Riyadh seeks its survival in a troubled and destroyed Yemen," he stated, and stressed that Yemen's revolution will continue its peaceful move towards final victory.
Saudi Arabia has played a major role in the crackdown on popular protests in the Persian Gulf Arab states of Bahrain and Yemen.
In Bahrain, Violence against the defenseless people escalated after a Saudi-led conglomerate of police, security and military forces from the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council (PGCC) member states were dispatched to the tiny kingdom on March 13 to help Manama crack down on peaceful protestors.
Scores of people have been killed and hundreds more arrested in a brutal crackdown on peaceful protesters in Bahrain, home to a huge American military installation for the US Navy's Fifth Fleet in the Persian Gulf.
