The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has censured the Israeli regime's recent aggression against Yemen, saying the Islamic resistance forces in the region, particularly the resilient Yemeni people, will give the Zionist criminals a crushing response.

In a statement on Sunday, the IRGC said the recent attack by the "evil and racist" Zionist regime on Yemen's capital was a blatant war crime against humanity and a brazen example of state terrorism, exposing the savage and anti-human nature of the regime.

The statement came after Israeli airstrikes on the Yemeni capital claimed the lives of Prime Minister Ahmed Ghaleb Al-Rahawi of the National Government of Change and Construction, and eight other officials.

The assault was the latest in a string a deadly Israeli raids against Yemen, whose armed forces have been targeting sensitive Israeli sites in response to the regime's genocide in Gaza.

"The tragic crime once again revealed the dark face of the Zionist criminals and made the inhuman and expansionist nature of the occupiers of al-Quds and the aggressors against Islamic lands more evident," the IRGC said.

It added that the Israeli regime, with full US support and international silence, continues its acts of aggression, terror, and genocide in the region and poses a serious threat to regional and international security.

The Iranian elite force further called on all Muslim states, international organizations, and human rights bodies to put an end to their silence and inaction vis-à-vis crimes of the Israeli regime and the terrorist United States, as its main supporter.

They must also take firm positions and effective practical measures and support Yemen and the oppressed people of Gaza to set conditions for a permanent end to Israel's crimes and acts of aggression, the IRGC said.

It expressed its firm determination to support the oppressed people of the region, especially the Yemeni and Palestinian nations.

The IRGC will spare no effort to confront the occupying Israeli regime and its supporters, the statement emphasized.

Resistance movements on Saturday issued separate strong statements of mourning and condemnation following the Israeli regime's assassination of nine senior Yemeni officials.

In a speech on Saturday, Yemen's president warned the Israeli regime of a decisive revenge against Tel Aviv's recent assassination of the country's senior officials.

"Our revenge does not sleep, and dark days await you... You will not taste security after today," Mahdi al-Mashat said.
