IFP - Iran�s foreign minister has denounced certain member states of the UN Security Council for voting for an anti-Iran resolution that threatened the world body�s reputation.�



Mohammad Javad Zarif says the UN Security Council�s voting session for the UK-drafted anti-Iran resolution was an ugly show aimed at supporting the country which has launched aggression on Yemen.

�The presentation of the anti-Iran resolution to the UN Security Council meeting last night by the US with the help of certain countries shows how brazen they are,� said Zarif on Tuesday upon arrival at the Bulgarian capital of Sofia.

�Such moves are, in fact, an effort to cover up the crimes which they themselves are accomplices to,� added Zarif, who is on a tour of Eastern Europe and the Balkans.

�At the moment, we are unfortunately witnessing the killing of thousands of innocent people as a result of the aggression on Yemen by Saudi Arabia and its allies,� said the foreign minister.

The top diplomat underlined that a humanitarian disaster is unfolding in Yemen.

�Based on some figures, more than one million people are suffering from cholera in this country. In fact, such happenings have been brought about by the US,� Zarif said.

The UN Security Council on Monday drafted a resolution that would have pressured Iran over alleged use of Iranian-made missiles by Yemeni forces. Russia, however, vetoed the resolution.
