News - Yemen: The Iranian ambassador Hassan Irloo to Yemen is being taken back home for treatment, the head of the National Delegation Mohammad Abdulsalam revealed Saturday evening.

“Under an Iranian-Saudi understanding through Baghdad, the Iranian ambassador to Sana’a flew back to Iran on an Iraqi plane due to his health conditions,” Abdulsalam wrote in his Twitter account.

Abdulsalam denied reports and speculations reported in the pro-aggression media, saying that they were "unfounded."

Saudi officials and pro-aggression media have promoted that the move is a sign of stains between Tehran and Sana'a.

The Iranian ambassador officially began his diplomatic mission to Yemen in November 2020, in defiance of the United States’ anger at the two countries’ developing relations.

The United States added him to the list of its sanctions a month later.

The US has played a key role in Saudi Arabia’s war against Yemen, which has caused the world’s worst humanitarian disaster in the impoverished Middle Eastern country.

Saudi Arabia launched the war in March 2015 with the goal of bringing former Yemeni president Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi’s government back to power and crushing Ansarullah.

According to a UN report released last month, the death toll from the war will reach 377,000, including those killed as a result of indirect and direct causes, by the end of 2021.
