Iranian FM: Bloodshed in Yemen unbearable
Iranian Foreign Minister calls on Saudi Arabia and the UAE to "take a political and constructive approach to end the humanitarian blockade, end the war, and accept Yemeni-Yemeni talks."
Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian underlined that "what is between Yemen and some of its neighbors and countries participating in military operations is a Yemeni issue."
Amir-Abdollahian noted that the Islamic Republic "has presented a four-faceted political plan on different occasions since the beginning of the Yemeni crisis and has called for following it."
The Iranian Minister expressed that watching the bloodshed in Yemen for over six years is intolerable, stressing that no country in the region considers war a solution to this crisis.
He also called on Saudi Arabia and the UAE to "take a political and constructive approach to end the humanitarian blockade, end the war and accept the Yemeni-Yemeni talks as the continuation of the ongoing situation is not in the interest of the region."
UK, France, Germany, and the US complicit in the war crimes
For his part, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Saeed Khatibzadeh strongly denounced the Saudi-Emirati airstrikes over the past few days against residential and civilian areas in Yemen, considering that “UK, France, Germany and the US are complicit in the war crimes in Yemen."
During a press conference, Khatibzadeh said that Iran has always backed the oppressed Yemeni people and has pursued to launch an intra-Yemeni dialogue through political apparatuses and diplomatic channels.
“Unfortunately, those making lucrative profits out of arms trade as well as some European countries like Britain, Germany and France and the United States are specifically involved [in the aggression on Yemen]. The latest string of bombings would not have happened if there were no support of these countries,” he added.
