TEHRAN:  The spokesman of Yemen’s Ansarullah Movement Mohammed Abdessalam strongly condemned the US aggression on an Iranian passenger plane and described it as provocative and violation of Syrian sovereignty.

In a tweet late on Saturday, Abdessalam called on all regional nations to stand united against the US threats.

Earlier, the political bureau of the Yemeni Ansarullah movement in a statement condemned the US action in threatening the Iranian passenger plane.
