Jaberi Ansari made the remarks in a meeting with the ambassadors of Italy,
Britain, France and German charge d’affaires at the Foreign Ministry.
"One cannot talks about political solution, peace and human rights but
simultaneously ink billion dollars agreement with countries participating in the
war against Yemen,” the special assistant to the foreign minister remarked.
The United States and certain Western countries including Britain and France are
the main arms suppliers to Saudi Arabia and the UAE which are fighting Yemen.
However, Germany has stopped the sale of weapons to Saudi Arabia due to human
tragedy in Yemen.
‘Failed policy’
The Iranian foreign ministry official called the Saudi-led military actions
against Yemen a "failed” policy, saying continuation of military attacks against
Yemen has brought about no "political achievements” for the invaders and soon or
late they must realize the realities on the ground and seek their interests
through dialouge.
He reiterated Iran’s long-held policy that the Yemeni crisis can only be settled
through inter-Yemeni talks.
Since the beginning of the Saudi-led aggression against Yemen in March 2015, the
country has been grappling with a humanitarian disaster.
The Saudi-led coalition backed by the U.S. started the war on Yemen with the aim
of reinstating ousted president Mansour Hadi. The war has led to famine and
spread of cholera in the poor country. The UN is calling it "the world’s worst
humanitarian crisis.”
