Zarif criticizes US complicity in war crimes

Tehran, Dec 2, IRNA – Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in a message slammed the US complicity in war against Syria and Yemen. 'Complicity in Saudi & UAE war crimes with arms, intel & logistical support apparently not enough. The US also proliferating advanced weapons to extremists, incl Al Qaida & ISIS. First Syria; now in Yemen. Aim: Permanent instability to justify heinous policy,' Zarif tweeted on Sunday. The British newspaper 'The Guardian' in an article said that 'An investigation into weapons being used in the war in Yemen has shown numerous examples of arms supplied by the UK and the US, among others, ending up in the hands of militias, including those linked to al-Qaida and ISIS.' Earlier, Zarif emphasized viability of ending war in Yemen, saying “I said this on the crisis in Yemen in April 2015. Today, after untold human suffering & war crimes by the Saudi coalition & its US accomplices & efforts to whitewash their crimes with absurd allegations against Iran, our four-point plan still remains the only viable option.'
