Sanaa is Yemens official and historical capital, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, deputy foreign minister for Arab and African affairs, said on Monday,adding, Yemens resigned president should have stayed in Sanaa and shouldn'thave plunged the country into the crisis with his resignation letter.
The embattled Yemeni president fledSanaa on February 21 after weeks under effective house arrest and went to Aden, where he highlighted his determination to resume duties.
Hadi (pictured below) stepped down in January, but the Yemeni parliament didn't approve the resignation whichhe later withdrew after leaving the capital. The Houthi Ansarullah movement, however, said that Hadi had lost his legitimacy after escaping Sana'a.
Recently,an aide to Hadi also quoted him as saying that the fugitive leader considers Aden to be Yemens capital.
Those who support Aden for the purpose of the dissolution [of the country] and ignition of civil war are responsible for the consequences of the act, he added.
The remarks come as some Persian Gulf Arab states, including Saudi Arabia, have already relocated their embassies from Sanaa to Aden.
Amir-Abdollahian added, Tehran supports national dialog in Yemen involving all parties, because the country belongs to all Yemeni people.
He further evaluated security in Yemen as acceptable, stressing that the Yemeni people will not allow foreigners to interfere in the countrys internal affairs through being united.
He said that Tehran welcomes national unity, sovereignty, independence, and comprehensive national talks, in Yemen.
He also said that Iran takes maintenance of security and fight against terrorism as essential for Yemen.
Amir-Abdollahian noted that Iran considers the security of Yemen a regional issue.
The Iranian official also said that reports on the suspicious transfer of ISIL terrorists to southern Yemen contradict national and regional security.
In September 2014, theAnsarullah movement gained control of the capital following a four-day battle with army forces loyal to General Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar, the half-brother of the countrys former dictator, Ali Abdullah Saleh.
Before gaining control of Sanaa, the Houthis had set a deadline for the political parties to put aside differences and end the crisis, but the deadline was missed without any change on the countrys political scene.
A few months later, they dissolved the parliament and announced a constitutional declaration on the Transitional National Council following weeks of clashes with government forces.
The Ansarullah revolutionaries say the Yemeni government has been incapable of properly running the affairs of the country and providing security.
