Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov say the United States is trying to concoct excuses to expand its regional presence.
The top diplomats made the remarks in a phone call on Tuesday.
Yemen has vowed to prevent the passage through the Red Sea of all ships that are either owned by Israel or heading to the regime’s ports.
The country says the policy will last unless the regime terminates a genocidal war it has been waging against the Gaza Strip with American support.
