Judiciary Chief Ayatollah Sadeq Amoli Larijani on Monday rejected U.S. allegations that Iran had supplied missiles to Yemen, saying even sending medicine to Yemen is impossible under the Saudi blockade, let alone missiles.

“How could the Islamic Republic of Iran send missiles to Yemen when Yemen has been blockaded and even the delivery of medicine has been barred,” the top judge added.

On December 14, US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley presented what she claimed to be “undeniable” evidence, including the allegedly recovered pieces of a Yemeni missile, saying it proved that Iran was violating international law by giving missiles to the Houthi Ansarallah movement.

With allied Yemeni army troops and tribal fighters, the Houthis have been fighting back a Saudi-led coalition since March 2015.
