At a Wednesday summit with high-ranking judiciary officials in Tehran, Ayatollah Sadeq Amoli Larijani voiced regret over the bombardment of the impoverished country, saying the monarchys measures inside Yemen amount to war crimes according to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.
The Saudi regimes officials should be prosecuted at the International Criminal Court like Nazi criminals, he said.
Amoli Larijani further rapped the West and particularly the United States for double standard policies towards human rights, saying Yemenis are in "urgent need" of food and medicine as aid efforts are being hampered.

The Iranian judiciary chief expressed hope that the Yemenis would emerge as the victors of the Saudi war through resistance.
Riyadh launched its military aggression against the Arab worlds poorest country on March 26 - without a UN mandate - in a bid to undermine Yemen's Houthi Ansarullah movement and to restore power to the countrys fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, who is a staunch ally of Saudis.
Saudi Arabia is continuing its brutal airstrikes against Yemen despite the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the impoverished country.
