Iran’s Ambassador to Yemen Hasan Irlu described US President Donald Trump as ‘Gambler’, as he stressed that the war on Yemen is a fruit of American and Zionist policies.
In a tweet on Wednesday, the Iranian envoy ‘thanked’ Trump for showing the “true face of the US government.”
He stressed that the fresh sanctions imposed by US against him are source of pride.
I thank the gambler Trump, who in the last days of his presidency, insists on showing the true face of the US government .Of course, towards the goal of freeing the nations of the region from the Zionism & US ,We are not afraid of sanctions and martyrdom, but we are proud of it.

In a tweet earlier on Tuesday, Irlu lambasted Washington for its ‘prominent’ role in the six-year aggression on Yemen.
The U.S. role is prominent in the aggression against the peoples of the region.Especially against the Yemenis.What is happening in the Saudi siege & aggression against the Yemen is merely the implementation of the American Zionist policies#US_blockade_killing_the_people_of_Yemen

The US administration added the names of Irlu and the Islamic Republic-headquartered religious studies university to the list of its sanctions on Tuesday.
Irlu submitted his credentials to Yemeni officials in early November.
In October, US State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus issued a raft of remarks on Iran-Yemen relations, claiming that the newly-appointed envoy was ‘smuggled’ into Sanaa.
Yemen has been since March 25, 2015 under aggression by the Saudi-led coalition in a bid to restore power to fugitive president Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi, who is Riyadh’s ally.
Tens of thousands of Yemenis have been killed or injured by Saudi-led airstrikes.
The Arab impoverished country has been also under harsh blockade b the coalition which includes in addition to the Kingdom, the UAE, Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Egypt, Morocco and Sudan.
