Iran Pledges Ongoing Support for Yemeni Government and Its People, Says Araghchi

This declaration came during a phone call with Yemeni Foreign Minister Jamal Ahmed Ali Amer, highlighting the importance of regional cooperation and solidarity.
During their conversation on Saturday night, both ministers delved into key bilateral issues and the evolving dynamics within the West Asia region. Araghchi emphasized the significance of the recent visit by UN Special Envoy for Yemen Hans Grundberg to Tehran, noting that the discussions held were both “useful and effective.”
Key points from the conversation include:
- Continued Support for Yemen: Araghchi reiterated Iran’s ongoing assistance to the Yemeni government and its citizens.

In response, the Yemeni Foreign Minister expressed his approval of the ceasefire imposed on the Israeli regime.
