On Wednesday, the Arab coalition rejected the statements of the Iranian foreign minister against Saudi Arabia, stressing that they are incompatible with humanitarian values and principles.
The spokesman for the coalition forces, Brigadier General Turki Al-Maliki, said that the leadership of the joint forces of the coalition followed up on what was reported by some media agencies of insulting statements by Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian regarding the position of the humanitarian coalition, related to the evacuation of Hassan Irloo, an officer of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards from Yemen.
Brigadier General Al-Maliki added in statements published by the Saudi Press Agency "SPA": "The leadership of the joint forces of the coalition, and in implementation of the direction of the Kingdom's leadership, began facilitating the transfer of the aforementioned for humanitarian considerations, in appreciation of diplomatic mediation from the brothers in the Sultanate of Oman and Iraq, less than 48 hours after reporting his health condition."
He continued, that the offensive statements of the Kingdom contradict humanitarian values and principles, and do not appreciate the position of the humanitarian and noble coalition in evacuating the aforementioned from Sanaa to Basra, Iraq, and they are not surprising statements from Iranian officials and come in the context of the Iranian diplomacy's behavior by entering the aforementioned into Yemen illegally, and his supporting chaos and fighting in Yemen.
And Brigadier Al-Maliki indicated that the Joint Forces Command of the coalition provided all facilities and permits for transit, as well as logistical support for the medical evacuation plane of the Iraqi Air Force (C-130), which is the second time for the evacuation of an Iranian citizen linked to combat operations in Yemen, after the evacuation of a member of the ship. The Iranian military "Saviz" was dispatched to the Red Sea in 2019 by the Royal Saudi Air Force on board the ship and transferred for treatment to a hospital in the Kingdom for a long time due to his deteriorating health condition, and then he was transferred via a Saudi medical evacuation plane to Muscat.
Brigadier General Al-Maliki concluded his statement by affirming the continuation of the Kingdom's approach and the firm alliance in the application of established humanitarian values and principles, despite Iran's uncivilized and inhuman behavior.
