UAE Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation for Legal Affairs Dr. Abdul Rahim Al-Awadi summoned the Charge d' Affaires of the Iranian Embassy in Abu Dhabi and handed him a note in protest of illegal Iranian supplies of weapons to the coup militia in Yemen.
Al-Awadi said that Iran's move violates UN Security Council resolutions which prohibit arms supplies, adding that the Iranian shipments of weapons represent an attack on international legitimacy and the rule of Yemen and fuel the conflict in Yemen.
He noted that the “UNSC resolution 2216 on Yemen is clear in this respect, so accordingly, the Iranian weapons and unmanned aircraft which the Arab coalition forces targeted recently, are a clear violation of the relevant international resolutions”.
