The commander of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards accused Saudi Arabia on Monday of following in Israel’s footsteps in the Islamic world by carrying out air strikes in Yemen, the official IRNA news agency reported.

A Saudi-led alliance began bombing Houthi militia in Yemen last month, seeing a threat from their advances across the Arabian Peninsula state. Riyadh also wants to restore Yemen’s president, forced into exile by the Houthis.

General Mohammad Ali Jafari, commander of Shia Muslim Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards, said Sunni Saudi Arabia was “shamelessly and disgracefully bombing and killing a nation”.

“Saudi Arabia is following in the Zionist [Israel] regime’s footsteps in the Islamic world,” Jafari was quoted as saying by IRNA.

The United States and Saudi Arabia have accused Iran of arming the Houthis but Iran says it gives only political and humanitarian support to the Houthis.

  1. Perhaps the Iranians should stop taking drugs.

    First this accusation when it is common knowledge that the Yemeni 'war' is a Saudi-led fight, then Iran wanting and 'slamming' (I am so tired of that word) Israel at the UN meeting that Israel should get rid of its nuclear stuff.
    UH………….I thought that the US just helped Iran go nuclear. WTF is this all about?

    Gotta be some really weird drugs in Iran.
