Ansarullah spokesman: Iran not interfering in Yemen’s internal affairs

  Mohammed Abdul-Salam made the remarks in a Thursday interview with al-Mayadeen television network when asked about frequent allegations by the Riyadh regime that Iran’s interference is a reason for the prolongation of the war in Yemen.     “Iran does not interfere in Yemen’s affairs in any way, but it is them (the so-called Saudi-led coalition) that connect solution [of the Yemeni crisis] to Iran’s interference and let the West interfere in their decisions,” the Yemeni official said. He added that reports prepared by Americans themselves show that Yemeni missiles’ fuel is produced in the country.     #صنعاء تحسم؛ مبادرة #الریاض مرفوضة… لماذا؟ وصواریخ صنعاء تطال الریاض وتلهبها… أی رسائل؟     6 سنوات من الحرب على #الیمن فهل اقترب الحسم؟#الیمن_ینتصر مع #محمد_عبدالسلام بعد قلیل على شاشة #المیادین. pic.twitter.com/GIlaX3ZNbQ     — قناة المیادین (@AlMayadeenNews) March 25, 2021 Saudi Arabia and its regional allies, particularly the United Arab Emirates (UAE), launched a war against Yemen in March 2015 to restore the government of former President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, who resigned in 2014 and then fled to Riyadh. According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the war has killed almost a quarter of a million Yemenis, caused outbreaks of disease, turned Yemen into the world’s worst humanitarian crisis and brought the poor Arab country to the verge of famine. Referring to a recent “peace plan” offered by the Saudi regime, Abdul-Salam said the invitation by Riyadh to hold dialog is irrational because it sounds as if Saudi Arabia is merely a neutral mediator.     “In addition, the [Saudi peace] plan vilifies Yemen’s revolutionary forces,” Abdul-Salam said, adding that the insults and threats incorporated in the plan make it unworthy of Yemenis’ attention. The remarks came days after Riyadh presented a so-called peace initiative to end the war in Yemen, which was immediately dismissed as “nothing new” by the Ansarullah-led government in Sana’a. The plan includes a nationwide ceasefire under the supervision of the UN and reopening of air and sea links, as well as reopening of Sana'a airport, and free passage for fuel and food imports through the Hudaydah port, both of which are controlled by Ansarullah.
