"The Saudi government's use of weapons which contain toxic and pathogenic gases in air and missile strikes against residential areas is aimed at genocide and breaking the legitimate resistance of the brave Yemeni people," said Shamkhani.
Shamkhani described the killing of innocent Yemenis and the siege of Yemen by the Saudi-led coalition as a war crime, the news agency Ahlul Bayt reported.
At the meeting with the delegation from Yemen's high council of revolution in Tehran on Tuesday, Shamkhani also called for talks between all the relevant parties to try to resolve the conflict.
"Negotiations among Yemeni groups and preventing foreign meddling in the country is the only way to create understanding and restore security and stability to Yemen," declared Shamkhani.
