Tehran (IP)- In continuation of the consultations of the Islamic Republic of Iran on Yemen, Ali Asghar Khaji, Senior Assistant to the Minister of Foreign Affairs for Special Political Affairs, spoke during a phone call with Mohammed Abdessalam, Chief Negotiator of the Yemeni National Salvation Government and Ansarullah's spokesman.

Iran Press/Iran news: During the telephone conversation, the two sides discussed the latest political developments in Yemen and noted the danger of the outbreak of corona in Yemen and the widespread shortage of facilities to deal with it due to continued military aggression by Saudi-led coalition and the country's brutal siege and emphasized the humanitarian aid and medicines needed by the people of that country.

Yemen has been beset by Yemenis uprising since 2014. Since the Saudi invasion of the country in March 2015, the Saudi air force has relentlessly bombed the Yemeni people who had risen up in 2014 to ran the Saudi-installed President Abd Rabbuh Masur Hadi out of the country whereupon he took up refuge in Saudi Arabia.

Since then, tens of thousands of Yemenis, including numerous civilians, are believed to have been killed in the conflict, while another 14 million are at risk of starvation, according to the UN.
