Baku, Azerbaijan, Apr. 27
By Fatih Karimov - Trend: Commander of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari said Saudi Arabia rule is on the verge collapse.
The dominance of people in Yemen is a significant development, he said, adding that the next development will lead to the collapse of Saudi rule, Iran's Tasnim news agency reported on April 27.
"The treacherous Saudi Arabia is following Israel, he argued.
"With brazenness and shamelessness, and with infringing all the Islamic codes, Saudi Arabia attacked a Muslim country which sought to combat hegemonic powers," he noted.
"Regional and extra-regional observers believe that the Saudi regime is on the verge of collapse. I hope this would come true," he said.
Saudi Arabia and its Arab allies launched air strikes against the Iranian-backed Shiite Houthis in Yemen March 25.
The coalition announced April 21 that it ended the air strikes to seek a political solution in Yemen, but restarted the aerial bombardment a day later.
