Saudi Arabia sows seeds of enmity, grudge in Yemen: Rafsanjani

Chairman of Iran's Expediency Council Akbar Hashemi Rafsanani says Saudi Arabia is sowing the seeds of enmity and grudge in Yemen as Riyadh proceeds with its brutal aggression against the southern Arabian Peninsula state.

Addressing a meeting with Iranian laborers in Tehran on Sunday, Rafsanjani denounced the continuation of Saudi Arabias airstrikes against Yemen,which he said, has undermined Muslim's morale.

Saudi Arabia launched its air campaign against Yemen on March 26 - without a United Nations mandate - in a bid to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and to restore power to the countrys fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a staunch ally of Riyadh.

On April 21, Riyadh announced the end of the first phase of its unlawful military operation, which has claimed the lives of nearly 1,000 people so far, but airstrikes have continued with Saudi bombers targeting different areas across the country in a new phase.

According to Yemens Health Ministry, the month-long Saudi aggression has killed nearly 150 children and around 100 women.

Iran nuclear deal achievable

Rafsanjani further pointed to different rounds of talks between Iran and the P5+1 countries on Tehrans nuclear program, sayinga final agreement could be reached.

Iran is willing and enjoys potentialto interact with the world for the expansion of bilateral relations and cooperation, he said.

The top Iranian official emphasized that a secure Iran will never cause trouble for any country and will even help maintain security in the region.

He recommended Western statesto pay attention to remarks by Iranian officials instead of "evil insinuations"of the Zionist regime.

Iran and the P5+1 - the United States, France, Britain, Russia and China plus Germany reached a mutual understanding on the parameters of a comprehensive agreementover Tehrans nuclear program in the Swiss city of Lausanne on April 2.

Iran and the P5+1 countries ended the latest round of talks at an expert-level in Vienna, Austria, on April 24. The three-day talks were held with the aim of drafting the text of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) based on the mutual understanding reached in Lausanne.
