Iran praises Yemen’s compliance with Stockholm Deal after Houthi pullout from ports

Iran’s Foreign Ministry praised the Yemeni National Salvation Government’s compliance with the Stockholm ceasefire agreement after the Houthi forces withdrew from three of Yemen's Red Sea ports.

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Iran"s Foreign Ministry spokesman has described the unilateral withdrawal of Yemen"s National Salvation Government troops from the three port cities of Hudaydah, Ras Isa and Saleef as a "constructive move."

Seyyed Abbas Mousavi said on Monday that on the one hand, the Sana"a government"s move to preserve Stockholm Agreement shows the resolve of Yemen"s National Salvation Government to negotiate and fulfil its obligations, and on the other hand represents the Saudi-led coalition"s obstructionism and non-commitment to this agreement.

Reiterating the support of the Islamic Republic of Iran for the Stockholm Agreement, Mousavi said its implementation would be an introduction to a comprehensive and final political solution for Yemen.

Considering the numerous barriers created by the Saudi-Emirati-backed coalition, "the United Nations and influential countries must push the coalition forces to comply with their obligations and stop their efforts to obstruct the implementation of the Stockholm agreement," noted Mousavi.
