Araqchi said in an interview with Al-Masirah, a Yemeni TV channel, that the claim suggesting that attacking Yemen is a prelude to attacking Iran is nothing new and that Iran has heard similar threats in the past.

He went on to say that Iranians would not let anyone speak with them with the language of threat and added that the enemies would regret threatening Iran.

Araqchi further explained that the U.S.’s attacks on Yemen are a reaction to Sanaa’s success in resisting and prevailing. He noted that, despite being under attacks for 10 years, Yemen has not been defeated.
