TEHRAN -- An Iranian human rights official says Saudi Arabia’s attack on Yemen was a big mistake and predicts that the House of Saud will fall in less than 10 years.

Speaking in an interview, Mohammad Javad Larijani, the head of Iran's Judiciary Human Rights Council, said that Yemen has a high chance to gain victory over the invading Saudi Arabia, the Fars news agency reported on Saturday.

Dismissing the Saudi justification for attack on Yemen, he said the House of Saud says it attacked Yemen since the Houthi group gained power there.

“At the time of Erbekan there was a coup in Turkey. Should have you attacked then?” Larijani asked rhetorically.

In another part of his speech, Larijani commented on U.S. position on the current situations of Yemen.

The U.S. is afraid of the establishment of democracy in Yemen, because if democracy is established there, the face of the entire region will change, he stated.
