This claim is ridiculous because everyoneknows that it is Saudi Arabia which hasprocured different weapons through the US and is usingthem against the oppressed Yemeni nation today, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Hassan Firouzabadi told reporters on Saturday.
He added that Iran supports the Yemeni people because they have stood up for their civil rights, national sovereignty and independence.
He said Tehran supportsan independent Yemen and a democratic Yemeni nation, sayingthe Yemenis are fighting against the enemies in a united way.
Firouzabadi emphasized that if the US and Saudi Arabia make an allegation against Iran, it is a blame game.
Iran has in numerous occasions denied as baseless reports that Tehran is sending weaponry forthe the revolutionaries in Yemen.
Saudi Arabia started its military aggression against Yemen on March 26, without a UN mandate, in a bid to restore power to the former fugitive president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh.
