Dubai: Ahmad Awad Bin Mubarak, Yemeni Ambassador to the United States, has said the US new strategy towards Iran sends a strong message that Iran’s interference in Yemen and its use of Al Houthis as a tool to destabilise the region will no longer be tolerated.
Speaking at the National Council on US-Arab Relations in Washington, Mubarak blamed Al Houthis for starting and prolonging the war on Yemen’s legitimate government.
“Ending the war is in the hands of Al Houthis,” he said.
He said the government was looking forward to a new round of talks to discuss the ideas proposed by UN envoy to Yemen, Esmail Ould Shaikh, which seek to achieve a peaceful settlement of the issue and to push the peace process.
