The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman has rejected recent anti-Iran claims by the Saudi-led coalition waging a war on Yemen, saying the military alliance cannot make up for its failures through playing a blame game and pointing the finger at others.

Iran rejects Saudi-led coalition claims, asks Riyadh to wake up to realities on the groundReferring to the claims made by “the coalition of aggressors” in Yemen as “hallucination and fantasizing,” Abbas Mousavi called on Saudi Arabia and it’s allies “to pay attention to the realities on the ground, including the resistance of the Yemeni people against acts of aggression and the international community's abhorrence towards Saudi Arabia.”

“They should know that wordplay, pursuing a blame game and leveling accusations against others will not compensate for their military and political failures,” he added.

The remarks on Wednesday came in response to the recent statements of the Saudi-led coalition spokesman about Iran’s military presence in Yemen and involvement in a recent attack by the Yemeni army towards the Saudi capital Riyadh, which were both rejected outright by the Iranian Foreign Ministry.
