in New York.

Jubeir's comments came after Iranian President Hassan Rowhani's speech at the General Assembly when Tehran said it was "prepared to assist in the eradication of terrorism and in paving the way for democracy."

Rowhani also said: "As we aided the establishment of democracy in Iraq and Afghanistan, we are prepared to help bring about democracy in Syria and also Yemen."

Tehran has been providing financial and military support to the Damascus regime as well as military advisers on the ground in Syria, where more than 240,000 people have died and four million people have been driven from their homes.

Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives.
