The UN Secretary-General’s Special Envoy to Yemen, Hans Grundberg, met on Monday in the Omani capital, Muscat, with Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi.
According to a post by the Iranian Foreign Ministry on the “X” platform, the meeting reviewed the latest developments in Yemen and the United Nations’ efforts to make progress in the peace process.
The ministry added that the UN envoy called on Iran to continue supporting efforts to improve the situation in Yemen and to advance the peace process.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry said that the foreign minister condemned the attacks carried out by the “Zionist entity” and its assaults in the region, warning of the consequences of violating international law on regional security and stability. He also stressed Iran’s condemnation of the blockade on Yemen and the continuation of sanctions imposed on it.
The Omani capital, Muscat, has since last October hosted intensive talks between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia under UN and Omani sponsorship, with the complete absence of the internationally recognized Yemeni government.
