MNA � Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said that backing the oppressed Yemeni people is among Iran�s duties.

�Iran, according to its religious duties, will stand beside the Yemeni people both in the countering aggressors and in negotiations,� Rouhani said on Tuesday while receiving credentials of New Yemen Ambassador to Tehran Ibrahim Mohammad Mohammad al-Deilami.

He admired the resistance of the Yemeni nation against aggressors, noting, �the Islamic Republic of Iran supports the Yemeni people with all its might along their way to establish peace and stability in the country and proceeding Yemeni-Yemeni talks.�

�Today, enemies and aggressors and all the world have come to this conclusion that they cannot achieve their aims by imposing pressure and war; and this means that resistance of Yemeni people has borne fruit,� said Rouhani.

�There is no doubt that the resistant Yemeni people will be the ultimate victor against aggressors,� he highlighted.

For his part, al-Deilami said that Yemen is seeking to further boost bilateral ties with Iran in different fields.

He noted that the Yemeni nation will never forget the Islamic Republic�s support for their revolution.

�The Yemeni people will always stand beside the Islamic Republic of Iran in the fight against the arrogance and will always support Iran�s valuable stances in preserving regional stability and security, especially the Hope initiative [Hormuz Peace Endeavor],� said the ambassador.

National Salvation Government of Yemen appointed al-Deilami the new Yemeni plenipotentiary ambassador to Tehran in mid-August.

The ambassador had presented a copy of his credentials to Foreign Minister Zarif in early September.
