TEHRAN, February 27 - Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said that over last 3 years US and British have had destructive performance in the UN Security Council to legitimize aggression to Yemen.

‘US, UK performance in UNSC in line with legitimating aggression to Yemen’TEHRAN,Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Russian-proposed resolution to the UN Security Council which extended the experts panels work on Yemen for one year was approved in the council.

The ‘unrealistic’ UK-purposed resolution has had nothing for those who put it forward and made another failure for the US in the international scene and the UN, he said.

“Over last 3 years, the US and Britain’s performance in the UN Security Council has been destructive and full of mistakes. They used the international mechanism only to legitimize and cover up war crimes in Yemen instead of ending war.”

A UK-drafted resolution aimed at pressuring Iran over alleged weapons supplies to Yemeni fighters has failed at the UN Security Council.       

On Monday, the resolution gained 11 favorable votes at the 15-member Security Council but was halted by Russia's veto.
