TEHRAN (Dispatches) -- Iranian Foreign Minister Muhammad Javad Zarif says Tehran welcomes "peaceful solutions” to a years-long war imposed by a Saudi-led military coalition on Yemen, stressing that it supports any initiative seeking to bring back prosperity to the impoverished country through dialogue.
In a Thursday tweet, Zarif also said in Arabic that the Islamic Republic saw no point in the continuation of a military intervention and a crippling blockade against Yemen.
"Iran does not see any point in the continuation of the war and siege in Yemen, welcomes peaceful solutions and encourages all parties to move forward in this regard and supports initiatives that call for dialogue to restore prosperity to Yemen,” Iran’s top diplomat said in his tweet.
Iran has time and again expressed its support for Yemeni-Yemeni peace negotiations as well as the full implementation of a UN-brokered agreement reached in the Swedish capital city of Stockholm in 2018.
A number of Western countries, the U.S., France and Britain in particular, are accused of being complicit in the ongoing aggression as they supply Saudi Arabia with advanced weapons and military equipment as well as logistical and intelligence assistance.
