TEHRAN – Tehran’s interim Friday prayer leader has blasted the Riyadh government for its continued massacre of civilians in Yemen.

"The people of Yemen are under the harshest economic and military pressures while their living conditions are deteriorating as Saudi Arabia is destroying Yemen,” Kazzem Seddiqi told worshippers, Mehr reported.

He asked international human rights bodies and the states claiming to be advocates of human rights to stop the Saudi crimes in Yemen.
