Yemen denies Iran's mediator claim
The Yemeni government focused on rejecting Iran's attempts to portray itself as a mediator in the Yemeni conflict, pointing to its ongoing military support for the Houthi group through arms supplies, funding, and training, which has prolonged the conflict, according to Foreign Minister Afrah Al-Zuba. She emphasized that Iran treats the Houthis as an armed faction rather than as part of the Yemeni armed forces, and that their interventions—including handing over diplomatic premises and smuggling officers—constitute blatant violations of Yemen's sovereignty. The minister called on member states of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to designate the Houthis as a terrorist organization, freeze their sources of funding, and confront Iranian military support. She warned against turning Yemen into a platform that threatens regional security. She also condemned ongoing interventions despite the severance of relations with Iran. Furthermore, she stressed the importance of adhering to a political path that respects Yemen’s sovereignty and unity, asserting that sustainable peace requires honoring UN Security Council Resolution 2216 and restoring governmental institutions. Meanwhile, the government continues its efforts to create the right conditions to regain full control over Yemeni territories.
