Iran’s foreign minister submitted a letter to the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon outlining a four point peace plan for Yemen.
The plan, which was submitted by Mohammed Javad Zarif, on Friday, called for an immediate ceasefire and end of all foreign military attacks, humanitarian assistance, a resumption of broad national dialogue and establishment of an inclusive unity government, reports Reuters.
The letter further said,
“It is imperative for the international community to get more effectively involved in ending the senseless aerial attacks and establishing a ceasefire, ensuring delivery of humanitarian and medical assistance to the people of Yemen and restoring the peace and stability to this country through dialogue and national reconciliation without re-conditions.”
Saudi Arabia, which has been leading a coalition to curb Houthi militant advances in Yemen using airstrikes, accuses Iran of supporting the militants.
The UN Secretary General, on Thursday, called for a ceasefire by all sides in Yemen. The UN said that at least 150,000 people had been displaced in the last 3 weeks, with over 750 killed.
