"We praised US Marines' seizure of a ship carrying out Iranian weapons to Houthi militia, which requires taking deterring measures against this regime's insurgency and interferences in destabilizing Yemen," said prime minister.

For his part, the US diplomat praised efforts of the government and its accomplishments in Aden during the past period, urging all parties to implement Riyadh Agreement as prime entrance to Yemeni crisis.

The seizure of the ship confirmed US Administration's anxiousness regarding Iran's role in destabilizing Yemen, said Hanzel, adding that this reveals Iran's foreign role and plots to diminish Yemen's security.

He confirmed US Keenness on stopping Iran's support to Houthis, renewing his country's support to the government of Yemen and realizing peace.
