Iran's permanent mission to the United Nations in New York says Tehran is well aware of ways to thwart US plots to isolate and defeat Yemen's resistance movement.

According to The Iran Project, the mission made the announcement on Friday in reaction to claims that Iran is providing financial and intelligence support to Yemen's Ansarullah resistance movement to target ships in the Red Sea. Iran is also accused of arming Yemen despite UN sanctions blocking weapons transfers.

It said the US thinks that it can isolate and defeat the Yemeni resistance movement through its military power and political dominance over the United Nations Security Council.

The US believes that Iran will either be afraid and cuts off its relationship with Ansarullah or will violate the Security Council's resolutions, it added.

However, the mission emphasized, Iran "knows how to defeat the US strategy in such a way that Yemen's Ansarullah [movement] is strengthened while the Islamic Republic is not recognized as a violator of UN Security Council resolutions."

The US and its allies have been bombing Yemen in recent months in violation of the country’s sovereignty and international law.
