The head of the Ideological and Political Guidance Department in the Iranian Ministry of Defense, Zia al-Din Aqajani Bor, stated that Iran supports the resistance front "against the arrogance of the great powers." Aqajani Bor condemned "the brutal crimes committed by America, Britain, and Israel, as well as the leaders of the hegemonic system in Gaza, Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, and Yemen." He noted that "the bombing of Yemen came after Yemen prevented ships carrying weapons and ammunition from reaching the Zionist entity in the Red Sea, and the aim of this bombing is to prevent any party from objecting to the killing of 23,000 women, children, and men in Gaza and Palestine, and to try to stop the movement of ships carrying weapons and ammunition to the Zionist entity."
