11 Arab countries have signed a letter about Iran\u2019s constant interference in the internal affairs of Arab states.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

New York- Saudi Gazette, 13 Nov. 2016-<\/strong> UN members have been alerted about Iran\u2019s expansionist policies, flagrant violations of the principle of sovereignty, and constant interference in the internal affairs of Arab states.
\nThe alert was issued through a letter delivered to the UN General Assembly signed by a group of 11 countries including Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Sudan and Yemen.
\nThe group condemned Iran\u2019s sponsoring of terrorism in the region, particularly in Yemen where it has financially, strategically, and militarily supported the Houthis.
\nIran has been training Houthi fighters and illegally shipping weapons and ammunition into Yemen in blatant violation of UN Security Council Resolutions 2216 (2015) and 2231 (2015), said the group.
\nThey also condemned the Houthi attack on a United Arab Emirates civilian vessel \u2018Swift\u2019 in the Strait of Bab Al-Mandeb on Oct. 1 in a clear violation of international law.
\nThe group highlighted that the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen was launched in response to a request for assistance from the government of Yemen in full conformity with international laws and the right to self-defense stipulated in Article 51 of the UN Charter.
\nThis request was noted in UN Security Council Resolution 2216, 2015.
\nLed by Saudi Arabia, the Coalition\u2019s purpose is to protect Yemen and its people from the continuing aggression of the Iran-backed Houthis and to help Yemen counter terrorism.
\nThe group of co-signatories confirmed the importance of the work of the Special Envoy of the UN Secretary-General for Yemen Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed in achieving a comprehensive peace agreement to end the conflict in accordance with the Gulf Cooperation Council initiative, the National Dialogue Conference outcome and relevant UN Security Council resolutions.
\nThe group reiterated that any interference by Iran is unacceptable and must be confronted.
\nThe countries stressed that the stability and economic prosperity of the Gulf region is based on maintaining good neighborliness and the principles of sovereignty, independence, and non-interference in domestic affairs of others.
\nAffirming support for the nuclear deal reached with Iran, the co-signatories said the agreement provided an opportunity for Iran to develop normal relations with its neighbors and demonstrate a commitment to regional stability, but Iranian aggression and its support for terror groups in the region has continued.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
