Baghaei: Ansarallah is not Iran’s proxy

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei has rejected U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s claims about Ansarallah, saying the Yemeni group acts independently.

Axar.az reports that Baghaei made the remarks in a post on X.

“Marco Rubio’s lies cannot replace facts. Ansarallah is an independent Yemeni actor that makes its own decisions; it takes orders from no one and acts as nobody’s proxy,” he said.

He said the roots of instability in the region lay in U.S. military interventions and hegemonic policies.

“If Washington genuinely wanted peace, it would take one simple step: end its malign and destabilizing interventions in our region,” he said.

Baghaei added that peace in Yemen could not be imposed through military force or external pressure and should instead begin with genuine negotiations based on the roadmap agreed by the parties.
