Iran’s Defense Minister, Brigadier General Amir Hatami made the remarks during a meeting with new Yemeni ambassador, Ibrahim Mohammed al-Deilami.

Stressing that Yemeni people’s struggle with al-Qaeda’s mercenaries and Takfiri groups and Daesh (ISIS) and its regional supporters is praiseworthy, General Hatami said, “Without doubt, Yemeni people’s resistance and endurance resulted in the failure of the ideas and conceptions of the Riyadh rulers who relied on their advanced weapons”.

Emphasizing that Yemen’s issue has no military solution, he insisted, “The issue will be resolved through consultations and dialogue between all political parties in the country. Yemen belongs to all Yemenis, and the Yemeni-Yemeni dialogue in a peaceful atmosphere with the participation of all parties, groups and political-social currents is the practical solution to the complex problems in this country”.
