The spokesperson for Iran's Foreign Ministry, Saeed Khatibzadeh, said in a statement on Saturday that Iran welcomed the initiative of the two-month ceasefire in Yemen.

The initiative was made by the UN Secretary-General's Special Envoy for Yemen, Hans Grundberg, and comprises a two-month suspension of military operations in Yemen, and that the Saudi-led coalition's blockade would be eased so as to allow the entry of ships carrying food and fuel, and pave the way for a partial reopening of Sanaa Airport.

Khatibzadeh also expressed hope that the move would be a prelude to a complete lifting of the blockade on Yemen, and allow for the establishment of a permanent ceasefire in order to find a political resolution to the war on Yemen.
