Press TV - President Hassan Rouhani has expressed Iran�s support for intra-Yemeni negotiations, saying the invaders have come to the realization that making peace with the Yemeni nation is the only option available to them.

�Today, there are more signs than before of striding toward peace in Yemen,� he said at the end of a meeting of the heads of the three branches of government in Tehran on Tuesday.

President Rouhani was commenting on the ongoing UN-mediated talks in Sweden between delegations from Yemen�s Houthi Ansarullah movement and the country�s former Saudi-backed regime.

The talks are meant to end nearly four years of a bloody Riyadh-led war, which was launched in early 2015 to reinstall Yemen�s former Saudi-friendly government.

Having failed to achieve their objectives, the aggressors have now pushed the ex-Yemeni government to attend peace talks with the Houthi movement, which has been both running state affairs and defending the country against the Saudi-led offensive.

�We have always supported intra-Yemeni talks,� said the Iranian president.
�The situation in Yemen has made those who sought to occupy the country see for themselves that making peace with Yemeni people is the only viable solution,� President Rouhani said.
