The Cabinet reviewed the latest regional and international developments, including the statement issued by the ministerial group on Yemen, including the United States, China, France, Russia, Germany, Kuwait, Sweden and the European Union, in which it expressed its concern about Houthi attack against Ma'rib, which undermines the international efforts being led by United Nations to end the crisis through a political solution based on the three references and further exacerbates the humanitarian crisis in Yemen.
The Cabinet reaffirmed the importance of any nuclear agreement with Iran contributing to maintaining nuclear non-proliferation and the completion of efforts aimed at creating a zone free of weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East. The Cabinet affirmed the importance of confronting Iran's destabilizing behavior in the region and the world as well as its sponsorship of terrorism in order to ensure that it does not carry out any kind of provocations in the future, which will reintegrate it into the international community and lift all sanctions from it for the sake of the interest and welfare of the Iranian people.
