DUBAI: Iran handed over the state’s Yemeni embassy to the Houthi militia, a move condemned by the Arab Leauge, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Wednesday.

The Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit condemned Iran’s step considering it a flagrant violation of diplomatic norms and of the United Nations Charter, the Vienna Convention, and the relevant Security Council resolutions.

The move, he said, also reflects an Iranian insistence to destabilize Yemen’s conditions, and threaten the security of its neighbouring countries.
