Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marziyeh Afkham on Monday hailed the recent accord in Yemen as a result of “the Yemeni people’s vigilance and self-restraint shown by that country’s government, parties and political and social streams in the course of the recent protests.”
The spokeswoman once again voiced Tehran’s support for Yemen’s unity and stability, and said they would materialize through continued consultations and partnership among the whole Yemeni elites, parties, and political, social groups.
Her comments came after Yemen’s Houthis and government signed a deal on Sunday after protesters had taken control of government buildings and a state radio and TV station in capital Sana’a.
The agreement calls for the current government to rule in a caretaker role until a new administration is formed next month after consultations with all political parties.
