TEHRAN, Aug. 14 (MNA) – Referring to the recent events in the south of Yemen, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Abbas Mousavi said on Wednesday that aggressors seek to disintegrate Yemen under the framework of a suspicious conspiracy.

Underlining Iran’s full support for a 'united Yemen', Mousavi said “in the past five years, the formed coalition between Saudi Arabia and Emirates along with their mercenaries have killed a large number of people in Yemen using modern weapons and have caused a lot of damages to the country.”

“Now they see themselves defeated before the resistance of Yemeni nation and are in pursuit of disintegrating Yemen via a suspicious conspiracy,” he added.  

“The Islamic Republic of Iran has always supported the 'united Yemen' and considers maintaining the country’s integrity as a shared responsibility of all Yemenis,” Mousavi said.

Mousavi hoped that having the Saudi-Emirati coalition stopped, Yemeni parties and groups could overcome difficulties via holding Yemeni-Yemeni talks and forming a united government.
