Iran's deputy foreign minister for Arab and African affairs Hussein Amir-Abdollahian denied on Monday any plans for the Islamic Republic to close its embassy in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa.

In response to claims made by Al Jazeera media network that Iran's ambassador to Sanaa and members of the Iranian embassy there have run away to their country, Abdollahian said that Iran's ambassador to Yemen is now in Tehran for a few days for a medical check-up.

He said the Iranian ambassador was present in Sana'a in all days of Saudi violation of Yemen.

"Undoubtedly, Iran's Embassy in Sanaa will continue its normal activities.

Saudi Arabia has been warned about security of Iran's diplomatic sites in the Yemeni capital," said the diplomat.

"Tehran strongly supports the Yemeni people against terrorism," he stressed, adding that Iran undoubtedly continues such humanitarian and diplomatic support.

He further stressed the need to hold Intra-Yemeni talks to solve the crisis, adding the issue of Yemen has no military solution.

Saudi Arabia with the help of nine other Arab countries except Oman has mounted massive attacks on Yemen since March 26, 2015.

Thousands of innocent civilians have been killed or injured in the attacks.
