HADRAMOUT (Debriefer)--A senior official in the Yemeni government has expressed regret over the lethargic reaction of the international community to Iran's blatant interference in Yemen.
Fisheries minister, Fahad Kefayen, wrote on Twitter on Thursday: "Iran has launched a new phase of its direct interference, appointing a new ambassador to the Houthi-run Sanaa".
"Hassan Irlo will assume his duties as a military governor of Sanaa under the cover of Iran's ambassador. This violates all international and diplomatic norms and laws," he said.
The international community's reaction has disappointed the Yemeni people who expected a strict action against this Iranian move, he said, pointing out that the credibility of the legitimate government is now at stake.
The arrival of the Iranian diplomat has confused the government and a Saudi-led coalition supporting it and drawn wide local, regional and international criticism.
The coalition has been imposing a land, air and sea embargo on Yemen since it intervened militarily in the country in March 2015.
