Addressing a meeting of Judiciary officials on Monday, Ayatollah Amoli Larijani took a swipe at the Trump administration for raising the “ridiculous claim” that Iran has provided Yemen with missiles, describing it as part of a new American plot against Iran.

“How could the Islamic Republic of Iran send missiles to Yemen when Yemen has been blockaded and even the delivery of medicine has been barred,” the top judge added.

The official also hailed the massive turnout in the Sunday’s nationwide rallies marking the victory anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, saying such unity has thwarted all hostile measures against Iran.

In comments on Thursday, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei referred to the US backing for the killing of Yemeni people as a flagrant example of American cruelty, denouncing Washington’s silence on the daily bombardment of Yemen’s infrastructures by US allies that employ American weapons.

Slamming Washington’s shameless move to accuse Iran of sending missiles to Yemen by displaying a missile debris at the UN, Ayatollah Khamenei wondered how it could be possible to send missiles to Yemen when the people of the country are under blockade.

On December 14, US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley presented what she claimed to be “undeniable” evidence, including the allegedly recovered pieces of a Yemeni missile, saying it proved that Iran was violating international law by giving missiles to the Houthi Ansarullah movement.

With allied Yemeni army troops and tribal fighters, the Houthis have been fighting back a Saudi-led aggression since March 2015.

In a statement released on Friday, Hezbollah offered deep condolences to the victims’ families as well as the Egyptian government and people and voiced hope for speedy recovery of the injured, the Arabic-language Al-Manar TV network reported.

Hezbollah’s statement said the “horrific crime which has violated the sanctity of the human life … is an outcome of the Wahhabi and Takfiri thought which sees all Muslims who do not approve of its principles as disbelievers that deserve to be murdered even if they are at mosques.”

It added that such terror attacks are aimed at spreading horror, instability and anarchy across the Arab and the Muslim world.

“The horrible crime also discloses the identity of the perpetrators who believe in criminality, not in law and religion.”

Hezbollah reiterated its call for serious confrontation with terrorist groups and states that support them politically, financially, and ideologically in order to reach their malicious purposes.

At least 300 people were reportedly killed and 109 injured when terrorists attacked the Rawda mosque in North Sinai on Friday.

Reports indicate the terrorists used explosives and heavy weaponry in their attack on the mosque.

Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi announced three days of nationwide mourning following the deaths of people in the attack.
