All sides should focus on finding a political solution to the conflict in Yemen, said Amir Abdollahian, stressing that use of force would certainly fail to resolve the crisis.
In a meeting with the visiting Chairman of the International Committee of the Red Cross, Deputy FM Sarmadi deplored as “unacceptable” the politicization of aid supplies to Yemen.
The Leader has emphasized that Iran’s refusal to accept an arrogant system is “the main reason” behind world bullying powers’ hostility toward the Iranian nation.
The foreign ministry spokeswoman has condemned recent bomb attacks in Sana’a, saying the oppressed people in Yemen are targeted by internal terrorism and a foreign military aggression.
“It is unacceptable that wounded Yemenis are denied access to medical aid because of the continuation of the cruel naval and aerial blockade, the deputy foreign minister said.
Iran’s ship, carrying 2,500 tons of basic supplies for the war-hit Yemenis as well as international journalists, doctors, and anti-war activists, has arrived in Djibouti.
Iran says its ship carrying aid for the war-ravaged Yemenis has been dispatched under "full coordination with the UN" and would head for nearby Djibouti.
An investigation should be launched as to who released the news on a trip by a Taliban team to Iran and what information they based their story on, Afkham said.
The vessel has been loaded with 700 tons of flour, 1,200 tons of rice, 400 tons of canned food, 50 tons of medication and health products, and 50 tons of mineral water.
No permission will be granted to countries involved in the war on Yemen to inspect the ship carrying Iran's humanitarian aid,” the Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said.

Dispatching humanitarian aid to the Yemeni nation has been a concern of Iran and Tehran continues its efforts in this regard through various channels, said Amir Abdollahian.
Alef, an Iranian website, has taken a critical look at the news coverage of the Yemeni crisis, saying that the Arab media are manipulating the facts in the Saudi favor.
Iran expects UN envoy in Yemen Ismail Bin Al-Sheikh Ahmed to act urgently and take steps for ending the attacks and preventing the escalation of human crisis, said Amir Abdollahian.
All humans need to be treated as equals and that is the message of the Iranian Red Crescent to Yemen, Syria and people in distress in any other country, the president said.
Iran has dismissed Saudi foreign minister’s allegation that Tehran is interfering in Yemen, saying Riyadh is playing a blame game on the Yemeni crisis.
