Iran: "US tries to hide Saudi crimes in Yemen"


(MENAFN) The Iranian foreign minister wrote on his Twitter account on Tuesday that different efforts made by the US and the UK at United Nations Security Council" to cover up complicity of Saudi and Emirati war crimes in Yemen over past three years has failed.

Zarif said that the anti-Iran resolution was intended for covering up the role of Washington and London in the war crimes committed by Saudi Arabia in Yemen.

He reaffirmed that since the very start, Iran called for ceasefire, aid, dialogue and inclusive government.

Renewing Tehran's call for ceasefire, aid, and an inclusive government in Yemen, Zarif stressed that dialogue was the only solution to the crisis in that country.

The Iranian foreign minister made the comment a day after Russia vetoed a resolution at the Security Council, presented by Britain and strongly backed by the United States, which called for "additional measures" against Iran over accusations that it violated the 2015 arms embargo on the war-torn Arabian Peninsula state.
