“Saudi Arabia is directly responsible for political talks of Yemenis in Kuwait,” Amir Abdollahian said while emphasizing the Tehran has not interfered in Yemen’s affairs.

According to ISNA, he said that Saudi Arabia’s non-stop military operations in aerial bombardment of residential areas and infrastructure of Yemen and violating the ceasefire has made the Yemeni political talks ineffective.

“Despite the creation of problems by Saudi Arabia in dispatch of Iran’s humanitarian aid to Yemen, we have carried out this duty in coordination with international and regional organizations,” Amir Abdollahian said.
