The Yemeni government has condemned the storming of the Saudi Embassy in Tehran and the Saudi Consulate in the Iranian city of Mashhad, and the starting of fires at the two Saudi diplomatic posts as a crime. It also declared Yemen's full support for the Saudi Arabia's anti-terror measures.

In a statement, Yemeni Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Abdel-Malek al-Mekhlafi, said:
"The attack on the Kingdom's embassy in Tehran is a crime and in violation of regional and international laws, norms and agreements and is a continuation of Iran's hostile policy towards the Arab Nation that was demonstrated (by acts) in a number of Arab countries, including in the Arabian Gulf region and Yemen."
"Yemen, which has been suffering from all forms of terrorism, extremism and foreign interference, backs the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's right to protect its security and stability in line with its own laws," he added.

The Yemeni minister also reiterated Yemen's full support for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in any measures it takes to combat extremism, terrorism and violence, UAE News Agency (WAM) reported.
