Yemeni Official Says Saudi-Led Coalition Will Not Achieve Gains From Intensified Strikes
A senior Yemeni official said the Saudi-led coalition would face defeat rather than success in its escalated campaign targeting civilian areas, according to Iran's Mehr News.
TEHRAN — A senior Yemeni official said on September 15 that Saudi Arabia would gain nothing but defeat from what he described as intensified aggression against civilian areas in Yemen, according to a report by Iran's Mehr News agency.
The report, published by Mehr News, did not identify the official by name or provide additional details about his position within the Yemeni government. It also did not specify the location or timing of the strikes referenced in the statement.
Mehr News did not attribute the claims to any additional sources, and Reuters could not independently verify the details of the report.
Saudi Arabia has led a military coalition involved in Yemen's prolonged conflict, which has drawn international attention over its humanitarian impact. Iranian state and semi-state media have frequently reported on statements from Yemeni officials critical of the Saudi-led coalition's military actions.
There was no immediate response from Saudi officials to the claims reported by Mehr News.
