Yemen's Ansarullah Welcomes Iran's Peace Plan
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – A senior member of Yemen's Houthi Ansarullah movement welcomed Iran's four-point peace plan for the crisis-hit country.
Speaking to the Lebanese-based Al Mayadeen TV channel, Ali Al-Emad, who is a member of the political council of Ansarullah movement, hailed Iran’s proposal to restore peace to Yemen, describing it as an acceptable plan to consider.
"There is no unacceptable issue in Iran's plan. Therefore, it can be considered for the resolution of the crisis," he added.
The plan was introduced by Iran with the aim of ending the crisis. It comes as three weeks of Saudi-led war on Yemen has led to the death of hundreds of innocent people.
During a conference in Madrid on Tuesday, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif explained the four-point proposal, which includes intra-Yemeni dialogue, humanitarian aid, ceasefire and the formation of an inclusive government in the Arabian Peninsula country.
"This issue should be resolved by the Yemenis... Iran and Saudi Arabia need to talk but we cannot talk to determine the future of Yemen," he said.
Zarif also said the air strikes "are simply not the answer... All operations should end on land and from the air."
On March 26, Saudi Arabia and some of its Arab allies began to militarily interfere in Yemen's internal affairs by launching deadly air strikes against the Houthi Ansarullah movement in an attempt to restore power to fugitive President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh.
