An Iranian official revealed a new development in the negotiations regarding Yemen, which includes proposals to divide Yemen into two or three countries.

This was stated by the Iranian Foreign Minister, Amir Abdullahian, after his meeting with the UN envoy to Yemen, Hans Grundberg, in Tehran, on Sunday, along with senior Iranian officials regarding the Yemeni issue, including Asghar Haji, the chief Iranian foreign affairs advisor.

According to the Iran Avenue website, citing the Iranian Foreign Ministry on Sunday evening, Abdullahian said that some of the partition proposals in Yemen include two countries and some of them three countries, and he claimed that Tehran, which is behind the establishment, financing, arming and managing the Houthi militia, opposes that.

In turn, Asghar Khaji, an official in the Iranian Foreign Ministry, said that the effects of the war on Gaza affect the situation in Yemen, without further details, according to the Iran Avenue website. While the UN envoy has not commented - so far - on the details of the visit, its goals and discussions.
