Iran Hails Yemen Ceasefire Deal

TEHRAN (Dispatches) -- Iran hailed as a positive step an initial accord reached among Yemen's warring parties to halt fighting for the Houthi-held port city of Hudaydah and withdraw their troops.
"Iran welcomes the agreement ... and hopes it will pave the way for the next round of dialogue for concluding a final accord among Yemeni groups," Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qasemi was quoted as saying by TV.
