Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman rejects claims Tehran intervened in Yemen

What happened: The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman rejected as baseless the claim by EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas that Iran intervened in the Saudi–Yemeni conflict. Attribution and details: The spokesman said the EU is itself complicit in "gross human rights violations" in Yemen because of its role in sanctions and the economic blockade, and argued European officials cannot avoid responsibility with what he called deflective remarks.

Differences/unverified claims: The spokesman also strongly denied reports alleging the presence of Iranian military experts in Yemen, calling those reports "fake news" intended to cover up facts and mislead public opinion. This denial is reported by Young Journalists Club (Telegram), IRNA (Telegram), Khabar Fori, and HamMihan. Additional repetition: Separate reports repeat the denial that Iranian military experts are present in Yemen and state the same motive for the spread of those reports.
