TEHRAN, Oct. 13 (MNA) � Iran�s Deputy Foreign Minister Jaberi Ansari released on Wednesday a piece of commentary condemning the latest Saudi airstrike which killed 140 civilians in�a funeral ceremony on Saturday.

�Fighting against clock and with the fantasy of restoring the former Yemeni president, Saudi Arabia has made itself stuck in a direct war against civilian Yemenis for a year and a half,� reads part of a new statement by Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab-African Affairs Hossein Jaberi Ansari released on Wednesday.

The Iranian diplomat opens the text with regretting the brutal attack of Saudis on Saturday that killed scores of civilians congregated in a hall for a funeral ceremony in Sana�a.

He reassures that the KSA would never achieve the dream and Yemen will rise from its ashes like a Phoenix although with casualties imposed upon because of anger, negligence, and historical reasons.

Jaberi Ansari even quotes a paragraph from the opening chapter of Barbara W. Tuchman�s The March of Folly: From Troy to Vietnam which says such wars are not new and always end up with the defeat of the aggressors.

�The latest incident of massacre in Yemen symbolizes the defeat of Saudis in war against Yemen,� reads the opening of a paragraph in the middle of his text, �the early consequences of the attack were just the upper tip of the iceberg of realities which would be, against Saudis, exposed at the end of the war.�
