IRNA � Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has condemned US hypocrite stance over the Saudi-led war in Yemen.


'On the very day US regurgitates Saudi & Emirati propaganda on Yemen, CAR [Conflict Armament Research] report confirms US & Saudi weapons end up in the hands of ISIS. With this US administration, it seems hypocrisy knows no bounds,' Zarif said in a Twitter message released on Friday.

Most Islamic State weapons were looted from the Iraqi and Syrian armies. But some were originally provided by other countries; mainly the United States and Saudi Arabia, to Syrian opposition groups fighting against President Bashar al-Assad, according to Reuters quoted CAR as saying.

�These findings are a stark reminder of the contradictions inherent in supplying weapons into armed conflicts in which multiple competing and overlapping non-state armed groups operate.'

�Evidence collected by CAR indicates that the United States has repeatedly diverted EU-manufactured weapons and ammunition to opposition forces in the Syrian conflict. IS forces rapidly gained custody of significant quantities of this materiel.�

Since 2015, the Yemeni people have been under attacks of Saudi Arabia and its allies which have resulted in an unprecedented human catastrophe in the Arab country; the international bodies have frequently warned about the consequences of the brutal attacks and blockade in Yemen.
