UK calls on Iran to stop arming Houthis

LONDON –SABA
The United Kingdom of Britain has called on Iran to stop sending arms to Houthis and instead use its influence to end the conflict.

In a joint statement, Britain's Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson and International Development Secretary Penny Mordaunt issued a statement to this effect on Monday.

"If Iran is genuinely committed to supporting a political solution in Yemen - as it has publicly stated - then it should stop sending in weapons which prolong the conflict, fuel regional tensions, and pose threats to international peace and security," they said.

"We question why Iran is spending significant revenue in a country with which it has no real historical ties or interests, rather than using its influence to end the conflict for the good of the Yemeni people."

After Houthis' military coup in 2014 and the invasion of cities and sparking of battles into 2015, President Abd-Rabbu Manosur Hadi asked the Arab League and Arab Gulf states to intervene militarily to protect Yemen and its people.
