Alwaght- Iran has slammed the unabated Saudi war on Yemen during the Hajj pilgrimage, saying the military aggression is contrary to constructive diplomacy and peace.
Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said on Sunday that “Yemen will have no military winner.”
Pointing out that Tehran supports national dialog among all Yemeni sides, Abdollahian added that Iran has presented an appropriate political solution to help the Saudi regime get out of the current Yemen crisis.
On 26 March 2015, Saudi Arabia, leading a coalition of nine Arab states, began carrying out airstrikes on neighboring Yemen in a bid to restore fugitive Mansur Hadi to power.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif submitted a letter to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon in April containing a four-point peace plan on Yemen in an attempt to end the bloodshed in the impoverished Arab state. The proposal stresses the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Yemenis as well as dialog among various groups in the country.
Amir-Abdollahian said UN efforts to dispatch humanitarian aid to Yemen, lift the Saudi blockade on the country, and put an end to war and bloodshed have failed due to the lack of cooperation on the part of Saudi Arabia and the dubious silence of some Arab and Western countries.
Thousands of Yemenis protested Friday in Sana’a following the decision by the Saudi regime to deny Yemenis the right to attend this year's Hajj pilgrimage.
