Iran Describes US Submarine as 'Spoils of War' Amid Yemen Conflict Tensions
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei stated that the American submarine taken by Iran was "captured as spoils of war," not confiscated, and described such spoils as legitimate. He also commented on Saudi Arabia's request to postpone a regional summit, saying attributing it to Yemen's developments misrepresents the crisis's roots. Baghaei emphasized Iran's support for a Yemeni peace roadmap and linked ongoing conflicts among Islamic countries to goals of the "Zionist regime." Meanwhile, fighting intensifies in Yemen with Houthi advances toward key government-held areas.
