Yemeni minister: Iran cannot be part of peace efforts

Iran cannot help in building peace in the country because of its destabilizing activities in the region, Yemen’s Information Minister Muammar Al-Iryani said in a report from state news agency Saba New.
Al-Iryani’s comment comes after Martin Griffiths, the UN Envoy to Yemen, met with Ali Asghar Khaji, who is a senior assistant to Iran’s foreign minister.
Griffiths described his discussions with Khaji as “constructive.”
“I had a very constructive meeting today with Senior Assistant to #Iran’s FM Ali Asghar Khaji. We exchanged views about the efforts to reach a nationwide ceasefire and create a conducive atmosphere to resume the political process in #Yemen,” the UN envoy said.
“The remarks ignore Iran’s role in destabilizing peace in Yemen and using it to attack neighboring states and threaten sea navigation,” Al-Iryani said, noting that Tehran has supplied weapons to Houthi militants for their attacks against nationals and neighboring states.
