Yemen signs aviation deal with Iran: state news agency

Iran’s first plane lands in Yemen

Iran’s ISNA news agency reported that a plane from Iranian airliner Mahan Air had taken a cargo of humanitarian aid – mostly medicine - for Yemen. The cargo was contributed by the Red Crescent of Iran.

“Considering that Iran wanted to take a message of peace to Yemen, it was decided to dedicate the first flight to the country for transporting a relief cargo of medical supplies.”

The flight was the first between the two countries in many years.

Iranian diplomat abducted in Yemen released, returns home

An Iranian diplomat kidnapped by gunmen in Yemeni capital, Sana'a, in 2013 has returned home after being released.

Nour Ahmad Nikbakht's plane landed in Tehran's Mehrabad Airport on Thursday. He was greeted by Iranian officials and his tearful relatives and family members.

Nikbakht was kidnapped on July 21, 2013, on his way to work from his home in the diplomatic quarter of Sana’a, when unidentified gunmen blocked the road, forced him out of his vehicle and abducted him.

Following his arrival in Tehran, Nikbakht met Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, where the recently released diplomat thanked the Islamic Republic officials, especially the foreign and intelligence ministries, for their efforts to secure his safe release.

Amir-Abodllahian, for his part, said Iran had set up a "special committee involving all the relevant parties" to work toward Nikbakht's freedom. "The efforts led to a special task force established by the Islamic Republic’s Intelligence Ministry."

"Through a series of complex and arduous operations inside a restive region of Yemen Mr. Nikhbakht was freed from the claws of the terrorists," Amir-Abdollahian added.

WTF.... ? go to hell with your ayatolla delivered by very same EU.
All evidence exist of Iranian supplies to all terrorists operating in all of Islamic states.
When your type are caught with pants down, declare themself atheist.
Of course to Yemen you have no land connection to supply arms, as you have to Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan, so you were quick in bringing air supplies.
I have no hopes for Yemen, any more.



perfect representation of ayatolla followers.


In haste to establish, supply lines, which are very essential to consolidate.
Bad bad news for Yemeni Muslims.
If local Shia Anti- Occupation Resistance Hizbullah and Sunni Anti-Occupation Hamas and Badr Army, Anti-American Occupation and Houthis, anti-Wahabis are Terrorists to you as it is for Israel and USA, then YES, I am proudly announcing that I am from a terrorist supporting country!!!

The biggest technique to detour World attention from your crimes against humanity and +60 years of terroring people around the world (Occupied Palestine) is to advertise LOUD in media that the most righteous nation (IRAN) is terrorist..,. It always works... the bigger the lie...the easier to grasp it is... My only surprise is that why an educated, civilized, Enlighten nation like Turks buying this cheap deception....

It is clear more than ever today that Terrorists are Takfiri Wahhabi Liver-eaters who spread hate and barbarism.... All forces who fight this darkness demons TRUELY are Anti-Terrorists... The real Terrorists are Occupied Palestinians who are famous for flying thousands of miles to South America or to Europe or to Iran or USA to terror individuals that are not good to Israeli eyes... The real terrorists are those who kill at least 1500 innocent children and elders in cold blood during two weeks of bombing in Gaza strip and yet sending their man to UN to ask the world to help them against Terrorist Palestinian resistance groups!!!!

In 21th century there is no room for Shia-Sunni backwardness... Shia and Sunni had no problem living toegther for thousand years.... One must be fair to always support rightousness even if it is SUNNI HAMAS or ZEIDI Houthis....Or Alavi Syrians (non of these three sub-religions are close to Iranian shia... Alavis are way more secular than Christians to us...)

Btw, in a world that Jews supporting jews...Christians supporting Christians...Buddists Support Buddists..why not Iranians support shia where ever they are in danger or discrimination? Double Standards again! The problem is that Saudis and other Arab Sunni brothers are doing a horrible mistake by taking Takfiri, Wahhabi, Liver-eaters as SUNNIs!!! They are not even Muslim, let aside being Sunni... they showed in their short life that they recognize no Sunni or Shia or Christians as they will definitely attack KSA before every other country to kill them all, if they feel strong enough...

Please my Turk brother, don,t lose the target... Terrorists are those who I mentioned not those who defend their land and people against Occupation...

God bless you
