Vahid Jalalzadeh made the comment in a meeting with the UN Special Envoy for Yemen, Hans Grundberg, who is visiting Iran in his Middle East tour aimed at surveying the various dimensions of Yemen war.
“Seven years pass since the beginning of the crisis in Yemen now, throughout which the world has on each day been witness to the massacring of defenseless, innocent and civilian Yemeni women and children, which is a sample of crimes against mankind, amid the silence, and sometimes collaboration of some world powers,” said Jalalzadeh.
He said that Iran’s official stand, ever since the outbreak of the Yemen crisis has been emphasizing on the need for Yemeni-Yemeni negotiations, that is among the entire groups there, free from foreign interventions or military aggression.
The head of Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission said that the UN special envoy had better focus its entire efforts aimed at ending the inhumane siege of Yemen, brokering an immediate ceasefire and arrange for the beginning of political negotiations in Yemen, aimed at establishment of sustainable peace in Yemen.
Hans Grundberg, too, initially appreciated Iran’s positive and constructive role aimed at boosting the regional peace and stability, especially in Yemen, arguing that feeling responsible of different countries and their support for the UN efforts aimed at brokering peace and stability in Yemen are important factors that can contribute to ending the Yemen crisis.
The UN official evaluated his talks with Iranian officials as positive, expressing hope that the entire efforts aimed at ending the war in Yemen will end well and UN’s efforts in that respect will bear fruit.
