Iraq’s Muqtada Sadr warns Saudi Arabia to immediately halt attacks on Yemen

Senior Iraqi cleric Seyyed Muqtada al-Sadr warned Riyadh to immediately call off its invasion of Yemen or wait for serious consequences of its move.

Muqtada al-Sadr said in a statement on Friday that nations should decide their fate independently, stressing that the Saudi-led offensive against Yemen is a clear instance of foreign meddling in the Muslim country’s internal affairs.
He further added that “Saudi invasion of Yemen is at odds with Islamic-Arabic unity.”
Muqtada al-Sadr said that Saudi Arabia ought to put an instant end to the invasion of Yemen, noting that so far dozens of civilians have been killed by the Saudi-led strikes.
