RNA - "The Saudi regime is doomed to be defeated in Yemen due to the unsparing resistance shown by the Yemeni people," Velayati said.

He reiterated that the future of the region is bright and certainly the people of Yemen will be victorious and in medium- and long-term the victory will be for the allies of Iran.

Velayati, meantime, pointed to the US' support for Saudi Arabia in its attacks on Yemen, and said, "The US will certainly be defeated in Yemen, specially because it is siding with Saudi Arabia."

In relevant remarks in late March, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi renewed Iran's condemnation of the Saudi-led troops' attacks on the innocent people in Yemen.

"We condemn the tragic massacre of thousands of Yemeni women and children by the Saudi-led troops," Qassemi said.

He said that the real danger in region is Takfiri terrorism and their regional and international supporters who have registered the most horrendous crimes in the region under the guise of fighting terrorism.

“The regional terrorism is rooted in extremist thoughts in Saudi Arabia which has today become the evil cause for the people of the region and the world,” Qassemi added.

The Iranian foreign ministry spokesman also underlined Iran’s all-out efforts for convergence and collective move in line with restoration of stability in the region.

“We have also said before that the interference of trans-regional countries throughout the history has not had any achievement other than instability, division and spread of terrorism and violence and it has never had any result which benefitted people," he added.
