Iran: US military approach complicates regional situation
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian says the United States' military approach has complicated the situation in the region and created obstacles in the path toward a political solution to regional conflicts.
In a meeting with Special Envoy of the UN Secretary General for Yemen Hans Grundberg in Tehran on Saturday, Amir-Abdollahian slammed military attacks of the US and Britain against Yemen and Washington's move to put Yemen's Ansarullah resistance movement back on a list of "terrorist" entities.
Back in January, the US re-designated Ansarullah as a “terrorist” group. The designation requires American financial institutions to freeze Ansarullah funds and bars members of the resistance group from traveling to the US.
The top Iranian diplomat reiterated Tehran's support for the establishment of sustainable peace and security in Yemen.
Efforts to improve stability and security across the region would be beneficial to all the countries in the region, Amir-Abdollahian said.
He also condemned the US airstrikes on targets in Iraq and Syria, which, he said, have been emanated from the continuation of its wrong approach to solve regional issues by resorting to bullying and militarism.
At least 16 people were killed, among them civilians, and 25 injured in overnight US airstrikes on targets in Iraq.
The UN envoy, for his part, commended Iran for its efforts to improve security and stability in the West Asia region, particularly in Yemen.
Grundberg briefed the Iranian minister on the UN’s work to establish peace and ease tensions in Yemen and underscored the need for the settlement of regional crises by making use of intraregional capacities.
