Thursday, 22 April 2021 (YJC)_ US Ambassador to Yemen said his country welcomes Iran’s role in Yemen.
Iran’s support for Yemen’s Houthi movement is “quite significant and it’s lethal” and there is no real evidence that Tehran wants to support a constructive resolution to the conflict, U.S. special envoy on Yemen Tim Lenderking told U.S. lawmakers.
“We would welcome Iran playing a constructive role, if they are willing to do so,” Lenderking said. “We have not seen any indication of that.”
Saudi-led coalition has targeted poor country of Yemen with heavy air, land and sea attacks since March 2015 to restore power to ousted and fugitive Yemeni President Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi.
These attacks have led to the destruction of Yemen's infrastructures and spread of poverty, unemployment as well as spread of infectious and communicable diseases in this poor Arab country.
UN experts describe Yemen as the scene of world's greatest humanitarian crisis.
