He said the Iranian ambassador was present in Sana'a in all days of Saudi violation of Yemen. "Undoubtedly, Iran's Embassy in Sanaa will continue its normal activities. Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... has been warned about security of Iran's diplomatic sites in the Yemeni capital," said the diplomat. "Tehran strongly supports the Yemeni people against terrorism," he stressed, adding that Iran undoubtedly continues such humanitarian and diplomatic support.
