Dangerous reflects its position on the efforts to calm down and bring peace to Yemen.
Al-Eryani indicated that the incident confirms the continued flow of smuggled weapons and experts to the Houthi terrorist militia, and the militias’ indifference to the international community, and their repudiation of their obligations stipulated by the UN armistice.
The Iranian called on the international community, the United Nations, and the United Nations and American envoys to conduct a transparent investigation into the cause of the explosion, and to take a firm stance to prevent the Houthi terrorist militia from using the truce as an opportunity to compensate for its losses, mobilize material and human resources, and stockpile weapons, in preparation for a new round of war.

In conjunction with the intensification of efforts by international and regional powers to extend the truce, analytical circles warned against focusing the current efforts on maintaining the current truce, without linking this to a broader political process, which eventually leads to the closing of the curtain on the war that has been going on for nearly 8 years.
The truce that was brokered by the United Nations and took effect for the first time in early April for a period of two months before being extended once on the second of last June, is still unilateral and very fragile, in light of the Houthi militias continuing to cling to their intransigent positions and their refusal to make any concessions, parallel to the steps taken.

Analysts considered that the Houthi gang’s continuation of its preparations to resume the fighting at any time, warns that there are signs of escalation on the horizon, despite any attempts to extend the truce, which requires linking the efforts currently being made to renew the current truce, with making it a means to find a comprehensive political settlement that spares the blood of Yemeni civilians, not an end. in itself.
They stressed the importance of these efforts being accompanied by credible international pressures aimed at achieving a breakthrough on thorny issues, such as ending the years-long Houthi siege on Taiz, as well as removing landmines planted by the putschists near many of the front lines, which often kills. lives of the civilian population, or seriously injures them.
