The Iranian Foreign Minister Mohamad Jawad Zarif discussed on Wednesday latest developments in Yemen with the United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon in a phone conversation.

Addressing the genocide and crimes committed against innocent Yemeni people, Zarif underlined the significant role of UN in establishing ceasefire, and said "the crimes are obvious violation of international law and will result in development of extremist and terrorist groups as well as deterioration of the humanitarian crisis."

The Iranian diplomat expressed hopes that efforts made by UN Secretary General and international community would bring crimes against Yemenis to an end.

"Iran supports the efforts by UN to stop invasion, to dispatch humanitarian aids, and to establish Yemeni-Yemeni talks and believes that the only way to resolve the crisis is to establish an inclusive government rather than militarization," Zarif added.

For his part, Ban Ki-moon, asserted that security and stability in Yemen and whole region could be established through political solutions and that UN would continue its efforts in this regard, acclaiming Iran’s efforts in forming the political procedure of the issue and dispatching aids for Yemeni people.

He expressed hope an immediate ceasefire would be established in Yemen.
