This interview is in Arabic. 

 

 

 

The United Nations Security Council has passed a resolution banning arms sales to Houthis, who condemned the move. They described it as a move that supports “aggression”.

At the same time, Iran said it will present a peace plan for Yemen. It involves a ceasefire, humanitarian assistance, a dialogue between Yemeni factions and a broad-based government.

But can the UN resolution change things on the ground? And what is behind Tehran’s plan?
