According to the reports, on Friday, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov exchanged views on the latest developments in the Middle East during a telephone conversation.
The two senior diplomats demanded an immediate halt to the Saudi military attacks against Yemen.
They also expressed deep concern over the ongoing killings of defenseless people and the humanitarian situation in Yemen, while throwing their support behind UN efforts to dispatch relief aid to the war-wracked country and to secure a ceasefire there.
The Iranian and Russian deputy foreign ministers, however, described the planned peace negotiations, which Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, the new UN envoy to Yemen, is preparing to hold in Geneva, Switzerland on May 28, as “insufficient” as Saudi Arabia airstrikes continue against the country.
Earlier on Friday, Saudi warplanes pounded the Razeh district of the northwestern Yemeni province of Sa’ada. No figure has been reported yet for possible casualties.
