RNA – Speaking in a video conference to a meeting of instructors and scholars of Qom Seminaries on the situation in Yemen, Nasrallah slammed the Al Saud regime as an oppressive and despotic regime that is massacring the oppressed people of Yemen.

Hezbollah Secretary General said: "The Al Saud rulers are dictators and oppressors who attack the oppressed Yemeni people and the extent of their crimes has reached a level unprecedented in the history.”

Nasrallah added Riyadh has attacked Yemen because it cannot see an elected government and independence of the neighboring nation.

He pointed to the Saudi regime's oppositions to the Islamic system of Iran, and said, "The Saudi government is Islamic on the surface and by name."

The Yemeni people have stood up for their independence against the Saudis and they will do their best in this regard, he continued.

He reiterated that the Yemeni people's faith and will is quite evident, and said, "The Yemeni people need political diplomacy and they stand strong on the path to independence and freedom."

Saudi Arabia has been bombing Yemen in the last 74 days to bring its ally, fugitive president Mansour Hadi, back to power.

The airstrikes have so far claimed the lives of more than 4,367 civilians, mostly women and children.

According to a recent report by Freedom House Foundation, most of the victims of the deadly Al Saud campaign are civilians, including a large number of women and children.
