A senior Iranian official says the Islamic Republic will not be deceived by the West's plot and its "regional rivalry�game."

�The issue of regional rivalry is a colonial thought�which�is not accepted by the logic of Islam,� Secretary of Iran�s Supreme National Security Council Ali Shamkhani (SNSC) said on Friday.

He added�that the destruction of economic infrastructure�in Yemen and�the prevention of aid delivery to the war-wracked country�run�counter to Islamic ethics.

The Muslim world would never tolerate "the unwise decisions" by Saudi Arabia�s US-backed�ruling family�and will�hold them to account over�their "crimes," the SNSC secretary said.

Shamkhani further noted�that "the�alliance" of America and its partners�with the al-Qaeda terrorist group in Yemen to counter "the popular will"�of the�country will remain as a "stain" in history.

Saudi Arabia started its military aggression against Yemen on March 26 - without a UN mandate - in a bid to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and to restore power to the country�s fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, who is a staunch ally of Riyadh.

The Saudis claim the airstrikes only target military positions. However, reports show civilians and infrastructure in civilian areas are being attacked.

In a recent report, Human Rights Watch said evidence shows Saudi Arabia has used cluster munitions in the northern province of Sa�ada in recent weeks.

Over 1,200 people, including many women and children, have lost their lives in the Saudi airstrikes since March 26.
