RIYADH-SABA
The Yemeni government has called upon the UN Security Council to extend an arms embargo on Iran, set to expire after two months.

Information Minister in the Yemeni caretaker government Muammar al-Eryani said the extension of the UN arms embargo would be a crucial step to force Iran to abandon its hostile and expansionist agenda and spread of terrorism through the Persian state's proxy militias in the region.

"Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and the whole region and world have paid hefty prices for the hostile policies that the Iranian regime and Revolutionary Guards Corps adopt," he said in a statement to Saba.

"Since the Khomeni's revolution, they have been exporting their 'revolution', imposing control on new countries through sectarian militias and spreading terrorist religious ideology."
