Iran news: In an interview with Al-Alam News Network, Bahram Ghassemi also said that from the beginning, to pave the way for Yemeni talks, Iran has called for end to attacks, sending of aid and the establishment of a ceasefire, Iran Press reported.
The fourth round of Yemen peace talks got underway on 6 December, in Stockholm, Sweden, with the attendance of all Yemeni parties. The peace talks ended on 13 December, with an agreement on a ceasefire arrangement in the port city of Hudaydah and exchange of prisoners between the two sides.
