Speaking to Fars News Agency on Monday, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said the country has not received any report on a fire in its embassy in Sana’a.

He also pointed to Xinhua‘s claim that 20 staff members of the embassy were trapped inside the building, and stressed that no Iranian diplomat is in Yemen.

The embassy might have suffered damages caused by the ongoing clash between the two warring sides, but there is no report of a fire, he added.

Xinhua claimed that its reporter on the scene had seen a fire breaking out after the embassy was attacked by heavy weapons.

The embassy is located near the presidential palace and is close to the residence of a son of Saleh in southwestern Sana’a.

Xinhua said more than 100 dead bodies could be seen lying on the streets leading to the diplomatic complex in the Hadda area.

An official from the Houthi-controlled Interior Ministry told Xinhua that at least 200 militants from both warring sides had been killed and more others were wounded in the clashes near the Iranian embassy.

The embassy is located near the highlands controlled by Houthi Ansarullah movement, where the Saudi-led coalition launched airstrikes for five times on Saturday midnight.

Back on Sunday, Qassemi had urged all Yemeni groups to settle their internal differences through dialogue.

In reaction to the recent developments in Yemen, Qassemi said, “We hope Yemeni forces would resolve their differences through dialogue to prevent foreign enemies from taking advantage of the current situation.”

In his Sunday statement, he also expressed regret over the recent clashes in Yemen and called on all Yemeni forces to keep calm and show self-restraint.

Referring to the continuation of brutal foreign aggression against Yemenis that resulted in the destruction of the infrastructures, a long siege, blackout, and mass murder of the Yemeni people, he raised hope that all Yemeni political parties and movements would show solidarity, and support the national and united front against aggression of foreign enemies.

Mass Wedding Ceremony for Hundreds of Syrian Troopers

The ceremony was organized by a volunteer group, among many other groups that have emerged during the war in the country over the past six years. The group has also held a number of different activities on various occasions to support the Syrian army’s injured and dead soldiers and their families.

The grooms wore military uniforms, while the brides wore white dresses adorned with the Syria flag, a Farsi report by Asr-e Iran news website said on Sunday.

The organizers said the initiative was aimed at honouring the sacrifices offered by those soldiers in defending Syria against terrorism and Takfiri groups who had been at war in the country to topple the government of Bashar al-Assad.

They also added the Syrian people should educate their children to love their homeland and not to abandon one grain of Syrian soil.

This is not the first time that a group wedding ceremony of army forces is held since the crisis broke out in Syria in 2011. Back in 2013, a similar ceremony was held for 15 soldiers from the Syrian army.

Iconic Farmer Who Saved Hundreds of Iranians Dies of Lung Disease

Best known as Dehqan-e Fadakar (literally meaning sacrificing farmer), Khajavi was admitted to a hospital in the city of Tabriz due to a severe pulmonary complication on November 14 and died on Saturday.

He was born in February 1931 in the northwestern Iranian city of Mianeh. For decades, his sacrifice story was taught in Iranian schools.

On a cold night in 1961, Khajavi, then 32, detected a landslide while walking along a railroad. He then took off his jacket and tied it to a stick and set it on fire while running toward a speeding train and screaming to draw the train conductor’s attention.

However, the conductor did not understand Khajavi’s move and the hero was finally forced to fire his gun into the air to stop the train.

Following Khajavi’s demise, a day of mourning was declared in city of Mianeh.

“Unity begins with believing each other, and we should recognize each other’s religions,” Rouhani said in a Sunday post in his Twitter account.

“No one can be coerced into changing his/her path,” he added.

“If someone thinks his/her faith and religion is a better one, this should be proved in practice,” Rouhani noted.

His remarks came as Iran is marking the Islamic Unity Week, a ceremony annually held between two dates of the birthday of Prophet Muhammad, one narrated by Sunnis and the other by Shiites.

Imam Khomeini was the one who proposed to call the interval between the two dates as Islamic unity week.

Earlier on Sunday, the Iranian president    said, “The people of the region have shown that there is no distance among various communities and religions.

“Shiite and Sunni scholars and elites in Iran and elsewhere in the region have taken great strides in this regard,” he noted in an address to a ceremony held in Chabahar in southeastern Iran to inaugurate the first phase of Shahid Beheshti Port Development Plan.

“Some thought that our region is a region of war, conflict, and Shiite-Sunni confrontation… and the land of foreign intervention,” the president said, adding that today, however, the region has distanced itself from those issues.

What matters is that everyone should make efforts to boost solidarity and unity in this region, Rouhani stressed.

“Yemen Party Leaders in Riyadh, Cairo, Amman for Talks”

Mohammed Al-Jaber says the only way to restore peace and security in Yemen is to sideline Ansarullah Movement which has been controlling the capital Sana’a since 2014 following the ouster of former Yemeni President, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi.

In an interview with Alhadath TV on the latest developments in Yemen, Al-Jaber referred to the mediatory role that Qatar is playing among the conflicting sides in Yemen to bring about peace and security in the war-torn country and said “the mediatory role is dangerous and will embroil Qatar into a crisis.”

He also directly addressed the Yemeni nation and said, “The Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman has announced that Saudi Arabia will not remain indifferent towards Yemenis’ fate because we view them as our own people.”

According to a Farsi report by IRIB News Agency, the ambassador also repeated the accusations levelled against Iran by the Saudi officials and claimed that Tehran has been involved in projects to inflict blow on Arab states and their affiliated entities.

Iran has repeatedly denied such accusations saying based on its main foreign policy principles, it has always been seeking to establish good-faith relations with its regional neighbours.

The Saudi diplomat further noted, “What we see in Yemen is the result of efforts made back in March 2015 when the Houthi fighters backed by Iran began their operation. Since then, the fighters have destroyed Yemen. They have attacked defenceless people as well as non-military facilities across the country.”

Without pointing to the devastating war of Saudi Arabia on Yemen which has razed to ground all civil infrastructure and historical as well as cultural sites of Yemen over the past years, the ambassador also noted Sana’a is a large and important Arab capital with deep cultural roots in history.

Reports say over 13,000 Yemenis including women and children have been killed in Saudi airstrikes since March 2015.

Al-Jaber also claimed Saudi Arabia has stood by the Yemenis in economic, political and humanitarian terms over the past years.

His comments came as the Saudi-led coalition has also imposed an all-out blockade over Yemen, despite its dire need for humanitarian assistance. The UN has described the situation in Yemen as the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.

Iran Leader

In a meeting with senior military commanders in Tehran on Sunday, Ayatollah Khamenei pointed to the enemies’ unrelenting hostility toward the Islamic Establishment and the Iranian nation, stressing the need for continuous enhancement of the capabilities of Iran’s Armed Forces.

The Armed Forces should consist of the best personnel in terms of practical and mental capabilities and resolve to be able to ensure the Iranian nation’s invulnerability to hostile measure, the Leader added.

Ayatollah Khamenei also described incessant efforts to move forward as the key to success for the military commanders serving at any unit.

Imam Khamenei has repeatedly stressed the need for strengthening the country’s military power and called on the Armed Forces to maintain a high level of preparedness.

Last week, the Leader called for the expansion of the Iranian Navy’s capabilities by making use of the country’s advances in other sectors.

The Navy should enhance its capabilities both in terms of military gear and combat power, Ayatollah Khamenei said in a meeting with the Navy’s commanders.
