| [ALMANAR.LB] The Iranian foreign ministry on Tuesday rejected Arab media reports that Tehran's embassy in Sana'a has been closed, stressing that the mission continues operation. "The Iranian embassy in Sana'a continues operation as usual, while Iranian Ambassador to Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... Sayyed Hussein Niknam returned to the country yesterday to use his annual leave," Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marziyeh Afkham told Fars News Agency. She also dismissed certain Arab media reports claiming that Iran's embassy in Sana'a is acting as an operations room to command the resistance Yemeni groups. "Such fake news are released to divert and weaken the Yemeni people and groups' role in their 6-month-long under-siege resistance and fighting against the foreign aggressors, Death Eaters and Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... groups inside Yemen and they are baseless," she said. Her remarks came after Yemen's runaway Foreign Minister Riyadh Yassin claimed on Sunday that the Iranian embassy in Yemen's capital Sanaa is offering financial, strategic, and military advisory support to the Houthis in country. Speaking to Saudi al-Akhbaria news channel, Yassin, who is in Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , claimed that he would announce severance of Yemen's diplomatic ties with Iran and closure of the Iranian embassy in Sanaa in the next few hours after consulting with runaway president Abed-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh. |
