The Yemeni official's name was not mentioned in the report.
However, Irans Foreign Ministry says the Yemeni government was aware of when and how the diplomat was to be abducted.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry has already summoned the Yemeni charg d'affaires twice to express Tehran's grave concern over the fate of the diplomat and to remind Sanaa that it is responsible for Nikbakhts safety.
Iran has slammed the inhumane abduction of the Iranian diplomat, urging the Yemeni government to do more to secure his release.
