UNITED NATIONS - Yemen's foreign minister blamed Iran and its support for Houthi Shiite rebels on Monday for causing the country's civil war and said it can't be part of the solution.
Abdulmalik Al-Mekhlafi said at a press conference that Iranian weapons are still being smuggled into Yemen.
Saudi Arabia's UN ambassador, Abdallah Al-Mouallimi, whose country supports Yemen's internationally recognized government, said Iran isn't a neighbor or part of the Arabian Peninsula and he had a more direct message: "Iran should get the hell out of the area, period."
