Dubai: Iran`s Foreign Ministry welcomed a halt to air strikes in Yemen, an Iranian news agency reported, in an apparent reference to an announcement by Saudi Arabia on Tuesday of an end to a military operation against Iranian-allied Houthi forces there.
"Before this, we said the crisis in Yemen had no military solution, and ... a halt to killing innocent and defenceless people is absolutely a step forward," ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham was quoted as saying by the semi-official ISNA news agency.
