AL-MUKALLA: Yemeni President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi has accused the Iranian regime of becoming more blatant in its support for the Houthis while undermining peace initiatives to end the war in the country.
During a meeting with Martin Griffiths, the UN Yemen envoy, in Riyadh on Wednesday, Hadi said that the presence of the Iranian ambassador to the Houthis in Sanaa violates diplomatic and international norms and laws, and reveals Iran’s unashamed support of the Houthis.
According to the official news agency SABA, Hadi told the UN mediator that the Iranians directed the Houthis to stage the deadly attack on Aden airport last week and other attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea, aiming to ruin peace efforts and undermine peace and stability in Yemen.
