Iran accused Britain of hypocrisy today for saying it should stop supplying weapons to Yemeni rebels.
"Britain undoubtedly has direct responsibility for the war crimes committed over the past three years in Yemen by selling arms and providing logistical and intelligence support to the countries attacking Yemen," said foreign ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi on the ministry's website.
"This country is in no position to accuse other countries and it would be better for it to end as soon as possible its opportunistic and profiteering approach to this blind war," he added.
Saudi Arabia has been engaged for the past three years in an aerial bombing campaign against Yemen's Huthi rebels, who it says are being supplied by Iran.
Tehran has repeatedly denied the allegations, but Riyadh again accused Iran of supplying the seven missiles that were fired by the Huthis into Saudi territory on Sunday, killing one person.
British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson and International Development Secretary Penny Mordaunt on Monday called on Iran to "stop sending in weapons which prolong the conflict, fuel regional tensions, and pose threats to international peace and security."
