Zarif Urges End to Saudi-led War on Yemen at Meeting with UN Envoy
News - Yemen: Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says war is not a solution to the crisis in Yemen, stressing that the Saudi-imposed blockade on the impoverished country must end.
In a meeting in Tehran on Tuesday, the Iranian foreign minister and United Nations Special Envoy for Yemen Martin Griffiths discussed various dimensions of the crisis and possible ways to achieve peace and stability in Yemen.
The top Iranian diplomat emphasized that the current situation in Yemen, which has exposed the people to a humanitarian catastrophe after six years of war, would only be resolved through a peaceful diplomatic approach.
The UN envoy, for his part, briefed the Iranian foreign minister on the outcome of his talks with relevant parties on the crisis.
Saudi Arabia and a number of its regional allies, including the United Arab Emirates, launched the campaign against Yemen in March 2015.
