Iran Press/ Iran news: On April 2, 2022, Hans Grundberg, the UN special envoy for Yemen, said that the National Salvation Government in Yemen and the Saudi-led coalition had responded positively to the UN proposal to establish a two-month ceasefire.
Iran has been calling for an end to the Saudi-led war on Yemen. In April 2015, Iran presented a four-point plan to the United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. Tehran proposed a ceasefire, ending the blockade on Yemen, providing humanitarian aid to the people, and establishing an inclusive national unity government.
On April 2, 2022, Hans Grundberg, the UN special envoy for Yemen, said that the National Salvation Government in Yemen and the Saudi-led coalition had responded positively to the UN proposal to establish a two-month ceasefire.
Attending his weekly press conference, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh responded to IranPress about the violation of the ceasefire in Yemen and said that it had not been confirmed by Yemen’s National Government yet.
What is important is that Iran has been encouraging Saudi Arabia to stop taking action for months, he added.
Saeed Khatibzadeh had expressed hope that the move would begin a complete lifting of the blockade, a permanent ceasefire, and a political solution to the Yemeni crisis.
Now, the ceasefire in Yemen must be accompanied by Yemeni conversations inside the country and accessing humanitarian aid for them, Khatibzadeh said in his presser today.
Regarding Iran’s foreign minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian’s phone talk with the Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres, Khatibzadeh, pointed out that this conversation was about Yemen’s situation too.
