Al Arabiya, 28 February 2018-- The United States, Britain, France, and Germany have condemned Iran on Tuesday in a joint statement for breaking UN law prohibiting the supply of arms to Yemen.
Their statement comes a day after Russia vetoed a resolution put forward by Britain condemning Tehran. The resolution would also condemn Iran for arming Houthi militias.
Following the Russian veto, the Security Council unanimously adopted a technical resolution which renews the current arms embargo without any reference to Iran.
For months now, the United States has been pressurizing to condemn Iran and to enforce sanctions upon the country after Houthi militia fired ballistic missiles towards Saudi Arabia in 2017.
