ADEN-SABA
Shocked by the UN Special Envoy Martin Griffiths’ description of his talks with an Iranian official as “constructive,” Yemen’s Information Minister said the remarks ignore “Iran’s role in sabotaging Yemen.”

Eryani’s comment comes after Griffiths said in a tweet that he had “had a very constructive meeting today with Senior Assistant to Iran 's FM Ali Asghar Khaji.”

“We exchanged views about the efforts to reach a nationwide ceasefire and create a conducive atmosphere to resume the political process in Yemen ," Griffiths said.

Eryani said the remarks “ignore Iran’s role in sabotaging Yemen, in turning the country to a launch pad to target the countries of the region and the international shipping and in wreaking the human and material havoc” it has wreaked.

Eryani said Griffiths even ignored recent UN confirmation that Iranian arms were used in four terror attacks on Saudi Arabia and recent US seizure of an Iranian arms shipment while it was in the Arabian Sea en route to the Houthis.
