Iranian Foreign Ministry welcomes Sanaa’s peace initiative

TEHRAN, March 29 (YPA) – The Iranian Foreign Ministry on Tuesday welcomed the peace initiative launched by President of the Supreme Political Council, Mahdi Al-Mashat, to suspend all military actions towards Saudi Arabia by land, sea and air for three days.

According to IRNA, the Foreign Ministry’s spokesman, Saeed Khatibzadeh, welcomed the Sanaa initiative, saying “This initiative launched by Sanaa in good faith contains a strong message about its decisive will to end the war, lift the unjust siege on the Yemeni people, and resolve the Yemeni crisis through political means.”

Khatibzadeh pointed out that the case of serious and positive interaction with this initiative could provide a suitable ground for ending the current war, hoping to witness a national reconciliation and the cessation of clashes in Yemen with the approach of the holy month of Ramadan.

On Saturday, President Al-Mashat had announced an unilateral initiative that provides for the suspension of missile strikes and drone strikes and all military actions towards Saudi Arabia by land, sea and air for three days, which entered into force at 6:00 pm on Sunday, with readiness to turn this declaration into a permanent commitment in the event that Saudi Arabia commits to ending the siege and stopping its raids on Yemen once and for all.

The initiative also included announcing the cessation of confrontations on all field fronts, including the Marib front, for three days, and full readiness to release all prisoners, if the other party reciprocates.
