Yemen’s president is calling on the international community to put pressure on Iran to stop its meddling in the internal affairs of his country.
President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi tells the UN General Assembly in New York that Iran and Lebanon’s Hezbollah terrorist group have been supporting Yemen’s Shiite rebels, known as Houthis.
He says Iran has been financing and providing Houthis with “weapons, missiles, and experts.”
Iran has repeatedly denied such accusations.
He also blames the rebels for the failure of the UN-led peace talks.
The civil war that started in March 2015 pits Iran-backed Houthis against a Saudi-led coalition backing the country’s internationally recognized government.
The war has left at least 10,000 people dead and has devastated impoverished Yemen, turning it into the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.
