"Exactly three years ago, at the beginning of the aggressions against Yemen, you told me in Jeddah that Saudi Arabia will destroy Ansarullah in northern Yemen in less than three weeks; today, the Yemeni resistance entered the fourth year of its resistance against occupation and your unwise intervention," Amir Abdollahian wrote on his Twitter account.

Amir Abdollahian's remarks came after the Iranian foreign ministry in a statement on Sunday called on the international community to increase efforts to end the aggressions and blockade in Yemen.

"Iran's foreign ministry, while emphasizing implementation of a four-article plan devised by Tehran to address the crisis in Yemen, believes that the only solution to this crisis is a political one, and that the current war will have no winners, accordingly," the statement said.

The statement went on to say that at the outset of the fourth anniversary of the devastating Yemeni war and the military invasion of the Saudi-led coalition forces' aggression against the Yemeni people, Iran condemns this aggression and calls for an immediate end to military strikes, massacre of people and removing the blockade against this country.
