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.
