Muslims’ Awakening, Influential Factor in ME
Speaking during a visit to an exhibition in Tehran titled “Yemeni Resistance”, Ali Larijani said there are different factors affecting the situation in the Middle East, a major one being the awakening of Muslims, IRNA reported.
He also warned that some world powers are making attempts to manipulate the conditions in the region.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Larijani referred to Yemen as a deep-rooted country in the Middle East that has brave people and has always played a role in the victories of the Islamic Ummah.
Yemen has been undergoing deadly attacks launched by a coalition led by Saudi Arabia.
On March 26, Riyadh and some of its Arab allies began to militarily interfere in Yemen's internal affairs by launching deadly air strikes against the Houthi Ansarullah movement in an attempt to restore power to the fugitive former President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh.
More than 3,000 people, including 1,500 civilians, have been killed over the past three months in Yemen, according to the United Nations. Some local sources put the number at 4,500.
