Yemen’s government, on Saturday, rejected a four-point peace plan proposed by Iran to the United Nations last week.
A Yemeni government spokesperson, speaking to Reuters, said, that they “reject the Iranian initiative.”
The Iranian peace plan called for an immediate ceasefire and an end to all foreign military attacks in the region.
The US president Barack Obama, on a phone call with Saudi King Salman on Friday, agreed that a negotiated political solution was essential for lasting peace in Yemen, the White House said in a statement.
Yemen’s government and Saudi Arabia have accused Iran of supporting the Houthi militants.
