"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.
