By Emil Ilgar - Trend:

Iran doesn't send weapons to Houthis in Yemen, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said Aug.26.

Rejecting his American counterpart John Kerry's recent statement, Zarif said that US has its share in crimes of Saudi Arabia in killing Yemeni people.

He added that Washington should learn from its mistakes in Iraq and Syria, accept the realities and take responsibility on the crimes.

Kerry warned on Aug.25 that arms shipments from Iran to rebels in Yemen pose a threat to Washington.

"The threat potentially posed by the shipment of missiles and other sophisticated weapons into Yemen from Iran extends well beyond Yemen and is not a threat just to Saudi Arabia and... the region," Kerry told reporters in Jeddah, AFP reported.

"It is a threat to the United States and it cannot continue," he said.
