‘Inclusive Political Settlement’ Only Way Out of Syria, Yemen Crises: Iran's Zarif
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said an “inclusive political settlement” is the only way out of the ongoing crises in Syria and Yemen.
“Talk is cheap @ UNSC (United Nations Security Council). ONLY way out for Syria & Yemen: ceasefire, aid & inclusive political settlement. Iran ready to help. Are others too?” Zarif said in a message posted on his Twitter account on Monday.
Saudi Arabia and some other Arab monarchies have been openly supporting militant groups fighting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in Syria, ever since the conflict broke out in March 2011.
UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura estimates that over 400,000 people have been killed in the conflict.
Also, Saudi Arabia and its Arab allies have been launching airstrikes against the Houthi Ansarullah movement since March 2015 in an attempt to restore power to the fugitive former President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh.
More than 10,000 Yemenis, including many women and children, have died in the Saudi-led aggression so far.
