Iran Sends 4-Step Yemen Peace Initiative to UN Chief

In his letter to the Ban Ki-moon, the Iranian foreign minister demanded adoption of the necessary moves by the world body to put an immediate end to the bloodshed, describing the conditions on the ground in Yemen as "alarming".

What follows is the full text of Dr. Zarif's letter to the UN secretary-general.

In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
17 April 2015
H.E. Mr. Ban Ki-moon,
Secretary-General
United Nations
New York

Excellency,
I would like to draw your attention to the extremely alarming situation in Yemen, ...

Foreign military forces have mostly targeted purely civilian infrastructures of Yemen, destroying, inter alia, hospitals, schools, road, food factories and power plants, and thus depriving civilians of basic necessities. They have also indiscriminately targeted residential areas, including refugee camps, killing and injuring innocent civilians, in particular women and children.

This critical situation is escalating and the humanitarian crisis in Yemen is approaching catastrophic dimensions. It may result in further exacerbation of the already tense circumstances in a region
[...]
To this end, the Islamic Republic of Iran believes that all efforts, particularly those by the United Nations, should be guided, in conformity with the Charter of the United Nations and fundamental principles of international humanitarian law, by the following objectives:

1. Ceasefire and an immediate end to all foreign military attacks;
2. Unimpeded urgent humanitarian and medical assistance to the people of Yemen;
3. Resumption of Yemeni-lead and Yemeni-owned national dialogue, with the participation of the representatives of all political parties and social groups;
4. Establishment of an inclusive national unity government.

I hope that Your Excellency will urgently use your good offices and conduct consultations with the concerned parties to facilitate and encourage an immediate end to these senseless bombardments
[...]

Ban Ki-moon ist der verlängerte Arm des republikanischen Washingtons. Insofern ist da mit dieser Initiative nichts zu holen. Zumal die USA und GB voll hinter der mandatslosen und damit völkerrechtlich illegalen Aggression der Golfaraber+Ägypten stehen. Die iranische Diplomatie unternimmt also wieder den Versuch, mit einem kompromisslosen Feind zu verhandeln, der ohnehin nur die Sprache der Gewalt versteht. :roll:

Viel zweckmäßiger wäre es also doch wenn die Iraner ihrerseits -für viele wohl überraschend- die Al Kaida im Osten des Jemen massiv bombardieren, um damit das militärische Gleichgewicht am Boden wiederherstellen. Gleichzeitig sollten zivile Hilfsgüter (Medikamente, Nahrung, Wasser, Zelte, Decken, ...) an den Nord/Westjemen geliefert werden. Wer sollte etwas dagegen haben können, wenn man die Al Kaida bombardiert und zivile Hilfsgüter liefert?
